    Hash Wedding

    4 settembre 2020, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    First, my group made the news background in Sturgis for an AntiFa rally. Now, my group has made the news background in Rochester for a BLM rally. What next?! 🤣

    Look for our White Dress Wedding runners in the background at 1:57. 🤣🤣 Too funny!

    No riding yesterday. Today, we loaded up on the drinks for the hash campout weekend, then I split off to go to the Harley dealership. I stumbled across the Cycle Stop by the beer store, but it's not a true dealership. Had to take a pic, though. 😀

    ON ON in Rochester

    3 settembre 2020, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

    I made it to my friends' home in Rochester five minutes before the skies opened up. I had just unloaded and covered the bike when it hit, so I only got a little damp riding yesterday. In fact, I got wetter running from my buddy's car into the grocery store. I love my friends! I arrive and it's immediately, "Dump you're stuff and get in the car. We have to shop!" 🤣🤣

    Off we went to the store, and another store, and another store, and finally arrived back at their home in time to start cooking. I prepped all the veggies, then meat sauce and pasta with garlic bread for six of us. What a wonderful meal with old and new friends!

    I crashed early and hard and woke up with my head feeling much better. The three of us made breakfast (yummy again), then Jammin' "went" to work (telecommute). Robin Woody came over to get Messiah so they can lay trail for this evening's White Dress Run/Hash Wedding in celebration of Messiah' and Jammin's real wedding in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, I called the beer store to see the prices and flavors of the discount stuff for this weekend's hash campout. Yay!

    Now, I'm going to take a nap.

    On To Rochester

    2 settembre 2020, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌧 77 °F

    I left the ER around 16:00, picked up a prescription and some Chinese food, and got back to the hotel around 17:00, where I promptly ate my egg rolls, drank my water, and planted my noggin on the bed pillow, where I stayed the rest of the night.

    I woke up feeling much better, but with a shadow of yesterday's headache still with me. Nonetheless, I packed up and rode out of the hotel at 09:30 under heavy, dark skies. I made it to the first Harley dealership without getting completely drenched, so fingers crossed I make it to my friends' before the nasty stuff rolls in from the north (and I'm headed due east).

    Worst Headache Of My Life

    1 settembre 2020, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

    Doc says it was either a migraine or a tension headache.

    Back to yesterday. Not many miles today, but I made my intended destination of Niagara Falls where I'll stay two nights. I had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe and met a lovely couple from Rochester, where I'm heading, who also ride. I called it an early evening, hit the hotel spa and pool, and had an early evening.

    I woke up around 08:00, watched a bit of Netflix, then went down to the spa. But no! It was closed for cleaning. So, back to the room for a shower.

    That's when the worst headache of my life hit me. There I was, just standing in the hot water, when WHAM! Ice pick through the top of my head. It almost put me on my knees. I managed to get out of the shower just to vomit in the commode. I made it to the bed with every intention of waiting it out, but after 10 minutes with no reprieve, I called the front desk for an ambulance. I'm no stranger to pain, and this was in the top five ever. By the time the EMTs showed up, it had not let up at all, and I was getting scared. I threw up again and could barely walk to the stretcher.

    They took me to the nearest emergency room where I am now. Once I got into a bay, they hit me with a good dose of dilaudid, which took the pain from 10 to 5 and they put me on an IV for the nausea. Luckily, my CT scan came back all clear, so the doctor believes it was either a migraine or a tension headache. I'm fine, but no way I ever want to go through that again. Ugh.

    New York At Last!

    31 agosto 2020, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

    I zigzagged all over Cleveland yesterday hitting Harley dealerships. Then I shot up to Erie, Pennsylvania, where I spent the night. Not a lot of miles, but all of it suburbia and city, so my clutch hand was ready to call it a day.

    But before I hit the hotel, I swung by Presque Isle State Park to take a picture of Lake Erie. So beautiful.

    This morning, I wound up in New York before I realized it. Again, back roads don't always have border signs; you just suddenly see a change in the street signs, particularly the state highway signs.

    I wound up on part of the New York Amish Trail, which was evident by all the buggies and horse poo on the road 💩☹️. You can't always dodge it all, so I may have to wash the bike soon. It was neat to see the Amish homes, farms, and craft buildings. Lots of furniture making in the area. I know nothing of the religion--other than what they taught Harrison Ford in "Witness"--but I appreciate their ability to maintain a lifestyle of simplicity in a nation and world that focuses on material wealth.

    I only hit two dealerships this morning, Jamestown and Buffalo (Buf pic tomorrow). After Jamestown, I hit a detour for a bridge out that put me on a gravel road for about 2.5 miles. Big rocks I tried to dodge and must have done well because I don't have a flat. A washboard ride the whole way, too. Ugh. No more of that, please, TomTom.

    I'm now eating lunch at Athena's, a Greek family restaurant. Gyros meat with tzatziki sauce served with eggs and home fries. More of that, please, thank you!

    Back in Ohio

    30 agosto 2020, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

    I hit some Pennsylvania dealerships and the Pittsburgh Hard Rock Cafe yesterday and stayed the night just outside of Youngstown, Ohio. The last 70 miles or so I jumped on the interstate to save some time. Man, it was windy! I kept it below 65, which is usually easy, but even that slow pummeled me. I had planned to go further, but I was beat.

    This morning has me headed towards Cleveland, squiggling through to hit all the Harley dealerships. Now I'm at Denny's for lunch, which I can already tell I will regret.

    Last HD in West Virginia

    29 agosto 2020, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

    I had a very nice down day yesterday with the afternoon spent watching HBO (no commercials!) and steak and shrimp for dinner. Yum!

    Laura moved through last night. Lots of lightning and thunder, enough to wake me up.

    I started this morning in rain gear because of road spray and dark skies. Good thing, too, because when I cut the corner of Pennsylvania between Morgantown and Tridelphia, I caught up to the remnants of Laura. Complete downpour for about half an hour. It was slow going all morning on roads that were wet, strewn with debris, twisty, and poorly surfaced. A stressful ride so far today. However, it looks like the storm may be moving away from me now. Fingers crossed.

    I'm now at the last Harley dealership in West Virginia. That makes all of both WV and Kentucky 😀.

    Back in West Virginia

    28 agosto 2020, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F

    After being caught in the rain yesterday, and with wet roads and road spray keeping me from drying off, I decided to call it a day when I hit Clarksville, West Virginia. I found a Hilton, which does military discounts, next to a convenience store. I grabbed some beers, a sandwich, and some newspapers, then decided to stay a second night to let the storm go ahead if me. Plus, I'll get extra spa time for my sore hips. (Oh, the newspapers were to stuff in my waterproof boots that were wet from the rain running down my legs.)

    I had a nice sleep in/lie in this morning with no alarm. I walked down to Walmart for food for the day and watched HBO most of the morning. Now I'm in the spa again. Aaaaaahhhhhhh.

    Ohio & Rain

    27 agosto 2020, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌧 82 °F

    It was great to ride through twisty West Virginia again. I was surprised and saddened by how much kudzu (pronounced KUHD-zoo) is taking over.

    (More info on this terribly invasive plant:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudzu_in_the_Un…)

    At some point yesterday, I must have cut the corner of Virginia because I found myself facing a second "Welcome to West Virginia" sign near Charleston.

    I spent the night in Dunbar/Charleston, West Virginia, and left this morning to very humid, overcast skies. The weather held out until I reached Athens, Ohio, when it began pouring. I'm sheltering in an Applebee's, but it looks like the sun is already coming back out. Wish me luck.

    P.S.: If you're ever near Huntington, West Virginia, take time to see the gorgeous architecture. From a gold-crowned courthouse to brick streets to almost Gothic churches, downtown around Marshall University is stunning.    Leggi altro

    Yesterday, I stopped at the Wild Turkey Distillery--no tours but it smelled soooo good--and swung past the Kentucky State Capitol building. Cool.

    Today I'm still making my way through Kentucky.

    A friend gave me a bell, which I hung near the handlebars. Be gone, road gremlins! (Note to self: Mike Summers gave you the bell on the bottom of the bike 😀.)

    No riding yesterday. Only the second time since the trip began. Nice break!

    I left Ohio this morning to slowly make my way to New York. I'm going to try to hit every Harley dealership in Kentucky, then West Virginia.

    Sturgis was absolutely epic. Bands, beer, new friends, roads, buffalo, donkeys, prairie dogs, big horn sheep, deer, antelope, old friends...I never expected it to be that good. I don't know how it could ever get better than this. And I'm not sure I want to try.

    After yesterday's post, I went back to camp for a nap. Then I helped my neighbor get ready for her Taco Tuesday dinner for the Hell's Angels, to which she invited me. Nice feed with nice folks. I left around 23:00 for my bed again. Needed to catch up on my sleep.

    Today, I'm back on the bike to ride the Needles and Iron Mountain again, but from the other direction. I've stopped for lunch before starting.

    That's all for now. Don't forget to be awesome! ✌️

    Crazy Horse came after Deadwood. What an amazing project and no government funding.

    After that, I bought my concert ticket at Buffalo Chip for Night Ranger!! Turns out Saving Abel was opening for them. OMG what an incredible day of rock and roll!!

    The artists that make up Night Ranger have also been in other bands. The singer was lead for Damn Yankees, so we got a couple of their songs. One guitarist was with Alice Cooper, so we got School's Out For Summer. And the other guitarist was with Ozzy Ozbourne, so we got Crazy Train. INCREDIBLE! Those on top of Night Ranger's own songs? Mind blown!!

    Today is a jaunt into town. I'm not riding today, so I started the party a little earlier. 😉

    I spent yesterday afternoon hanging out in Sturgis, listening to bands, and chatting with some amazing people. I've been invited to Las Vegas and Utah lol.

    This morning I'm hanging out in Deadwood, most famous for the origin of the dead man's hand of poker, aces and eights. Will Bill Hickok was holding those cards when he was shot and killed here.

    Tom Berenger is here to lead the Legends Ride. Oh my, he is still very sexy.

    I'm getting some lunch now. Pulled pork on a bed of mac and cheese. There aren't a lot of green food options here. Shocking, I know. 🤣
