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.

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.

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.

Have a fun and safe trip, Kevin.

And try to stay dry for once!

Joe, you jinxed me......:stickpoke: 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?

I'm convinced that you don't need "jinxing" in order to find rain! You seem to be a natural at it!:big-grin-emoticon:

 

Sounds like you're having a lot of fun though. I've seen your Facebook pictures, waiting for more!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Looks like you guys had a great trip!:thumbsup2:

 

But I think that's cheatin' takin' the cog train up.:stickpoke:

 

But I don't blame ya, not sure if I'd do it again on purpose.:doh:

 

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.

I bet it would be. :thumbsup2:

 

Just out of curiousity, how long does that thing take to walk up, and how many miles is the trip?

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.
