Leadwolf56 Posted June 3, 2010 #1 Posted June 3, 2010 Leaving our house at 6:00am tomorrow morning. Heading for New England, a nine day trip, going to fill out some states on my map and see some areas we haven't seen before. I'll try to update as we go as long as I can get online.
FreezyRider Posted June 3, 2010 #2 Posted June 3, 2010 Have a fun and safe trip, Kevin. And try to stay dry for once!

Leadwolf56 Posted June 4, 2010 Author #4 Posted June 4, 2010 Rolled into Buffalo, NY about 3:00pm today. Off to Bennington, VT early tomorrow morning. Traffic wasn't bad, got to use my new air horn on a woman who tried to come into my lane, it worked great, she was shocked. 450 miles today, 300 or so tomorrow, then the fun really starts.
Squidley Posted June 4, 2010 #6 Posted June 4, 2010 Take lots of pics buddy, all 4 of you have a great time and be safe
Mariner Fan Posted June 4, 2010 #7 Posted June 4, 2010 Have a great time Kevin. Yea, take some pictures for us!
Leadwolf56 Posted June 6, 2010 Author #9 Posted June 6, 2010 Thanks fellas, having a great time. Got wet a little tonight. We're in Burlington VT at a jazz festival. Heading to New Hampshire tomorrow. Getting great pics. Cape Cod on Monday and Tuesday, whale watching. Glad we could do this very nice.
finfan125 Posted June 6, 2010 #10 Posted June 6, 2010 Sounds like a good time. Can't wait to see some pics. Have a good time and be safe. Mark
Zfrebird4 Posted June 6, 2010 #11 Posted June 6, 2010 And ride safe. Looking forward to those photographs! JackZ:thumbsup2:
Leadwolf56 Posted June 6, 2010 Author #12 Posted June 6, 2010 Have a fun and safe trip, Kevin. And try to stay dry for once! Joe, you jinxed me...... Rode in the rain all day today. We rode across Vermont, stopped at Mt. Washington and rode the cog train to the top, cool, very cold and windy. Getting a lot of good pics. I'll get some posted soon as I can. I did put some on Facebook through my phone. Cape Cod tomorrow for two days then head for home. Going whale watching in Cape Cod......how cool is that?

You seem to be a natural at it! Sounds like you're having a lot of fun though. I've seen your Facebook pictures, waiting for more! Joe
Scooter Bob Posted June 6, 2010 #14 Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) I'm doing the same kind of trip, but looks like opposite direction. I'll be in eastern CT or perhaps RI tonight, and heading to Maine tomorrow. Give me a call later tonight or tomorrow morning, maybe we can meet up for breakfast or lunch or something. 920_a_210_a_4652 Have a great trip, Scooter Bob Edited June 6, 2010 by Scooter Bob
Leadwolf56 Posted June 8, 2010 Author #15 Posted June 8, 2010 Made it to Cape Cod today, had a great supper, Sue got her lobster. Going whale watching tomorrow, heading toward home on Wednesday. Should roll in sometime Friday. Sorry, Bob, missed your call, coverage has been somewhat spotty. Enjoy you trip, if you come back across Northern IN give me a call.
Leadwolf56 Posted June 11, 2010 Author #16 Posted June 11, 2010 Rolled in home about 45 minutes ago. 2501 miles on the trip meter. Rode in rain about 500 of those miles. We had a great time, Chuck and Cindi are great traveling partners. I'm going to setup a photobucket account so we can upload all the pics. The E3s handled well, a little loud but no problems in the rain or in the mountains.Had a stock size E3 put on the front just before we left. I hadn't experienced the 150 as I had a 130 on the front when I got the bike. Since I had installed leveling links I wanted to see the difference. No problem in parking lots, made one of the tightest uturns since I got the bike yesterday, very easy. The bigger difference was on the highway, bike was a lot more stable at highway speeds, especially in the wind. All in all a great time and we're already planning next year's trip. Looks like we'll be going Southeast next year.

Leadwolf56 Posted June 11, 2010 Author #19 Posted June 11, 2010 Welcome home buddy Thanks Brad, had quite the trip.
Bummer Posted June 11, 2010 #20 Posted June 11, 2010 Welcome back! Great pics. Looks like a good ride. That's quite a time warp going into Massachusetts. 242 years and it didn't seem to bother you guys all that much. Back out in Rhode Island. Impressive.
Scooter Bob Posted June 12, 2010 #21 Posted June 12, 2010 Looks like you guys had a great trip! But I think that's cheatin' takin' the cog train up. But I don't blame ya, not sure if I'd do it again on purpose. Later, Scooter Bob
Leadwolf56 Posted June 12, 2010 Author #22 Posted June 12, 2010 Welcome back! Great pics. Looks like a good ride. That's quite a time warp going into Massachusetts. 242 years and it didn't seem to bother you guys all that much. Back out in Rhode Island. Impressive. Yeah, my camera person reset the date somehow. Back to the future??????????? Looks like you guys had a great trip! But I think that's cheatin' takin' the cog train up. But I don't blame ya, not sure if I'd do it again on purpose. Later, Scooter Bob After experiencing the wind and cold at the top we were glad we didn't ride up it. I give you a lot of credit for riding it. We got patches to show we were there, not the "Ride to the Top" ones, just regular ones. The cog train was pretty cool, especially when you realize the angle you're running on.
Scooter Bob Posted June 13, 2010 #23 Posted June 13, 2010 The cog train was pretty cool, especially when you realize the angle you're running on. I bet it would be. Just out of curiousity, how long does that thing take to walk up, and how many miles is the trip? Later, Scooter Bob
Leadwolf56 Posted June 14, 2010 Author #24 Posted June 14, 2010 I bet it would be. Just out of curiousity, how long does that thing take to walk up, and how many miles is the trip? Later, Scooter Bob Seems like it's a 3 mile trip, takes about a half hour, comes down a bit faster than that. It would take longer the more trains that they run, there's two places with sidings and switches to allow them to pass.
