Hey guys, first long ride in progress thought i'd start my little report :thumbup:
Yesterday, left my house towards Buffalo via rte 20, getting poured on. No pics of yesterday as it was mostly highway boring stuff. Anyways got to the hotel in Erie PA and 3 guys with sports cars pull next to us, and the guy in the S2000 next to me says "yeah i've been there". I guess the guy rides motorcycles quite a bit. These 3 older guys were from Iowa City, Iowa to watch Iowa play Penn state, Talk about dedication.

The plan for today is to hit the Erie peninsula, then head towards Cleveland and either stop in Cleveland or bypass it and go to Akron, take a break and do some stuff, then back on the road to the Air force museum.

Plan for tomorrow, i believe is to make it to WV to ride route 33, which is supposed to rival the Tail of the Dragon with much less of the tourists.

Anyways i'll update later tonight with pics and vids of the rides and places we stopped, plan on putting my new Drift straight to work today :thumbup:

Too Bad you're riding into the Fall Monsoons, but have a good trip.

See you on Campus.

Wow right you are! We got to our hotel just across from the AF base (mean looking clouds looming), check in, turn on the tv it starts doing emergency beeps and says "there's is a severe storm watch in your area". lol.... ok i'm gonna upload some stuff while i have wifi.... standby for todays report!
