adventurer 08 Posted March 13, 2014 #1 Posted March 13, 2014 Today the wife and I are driving to CT. to see my daughter so we plan to stop at OCC and check out there new store. Not a big fan just something to see on the way there. We where at there small store front bike shop a few years back. Hope the roads are ok.
steamer Posted March 13, 2014 #3 Posted March 13, 2014 We went there last year. Didn't intend to, just kinda ended up there while looking for a hotel. We took the shop tour, very impressive. Got to meet the shop manager, can't remember his name now.
bongobobny Posted March 13, 2014 #4 Posted March 13, 2014 Hey Steamer, notice how he just cruises past and don't even say hello???
Carbon_One Posted March 14, 2014 #5 Posted March 14, 2014 Have fun on your trip. Drop a line or give me a call when you get home. Larry
cowpuc Posted March 14, 2014 #6 Posted March 14, 2014 WOW,, that sounds like a RIOT!! Have fun, take some pics and write your FREEZING Michigan brothers a ride report all about OCC,, pretty pleeeeezzzz
adventurer 08 Posted March 18, 2014 Author #7 Posted March 18, 2014 Just got home about 7:00 tonite. The drive home was nice, the ride going on Thursday was the Pits, there was a 40 car-semi pile up on the Ohio turnpike on Wednesday and they were still cleaning it up on Thursday, semi were wrecked everywhere. Had to sit still for over two hours. We got moving for about a half hour then sat for another hour for another truck that flipped on its side. Got to OCC on Friday, really nice showroom lots of nice bikes and a ton of t-shirts. We had lunch in there café, food was very good. Even the bun of my pulled pork sandwich had OCC branded in to it. If your in there aera its something to stop and see but I would not go to far out of your way or just stop in for lunch or dinner. I'll try to post pics tomorrow.

So... it's always the long way around.
cowpuc Posted March 19, 2014 #13 Posted March 19, 2014 If he's like me, I'm not welcome in Canada because of what I wear on my hip. So... it's always the long way around. I hear dat Ragtop, many years ago (way before 9/11) pulled up to Customs in the motorhome. Wife, kids and I headed to this kiddy place called "Story Book Gardens" (if my memory serves me right).. Border guy asks if I have any guns, I said of course I do - I'm an American.. He says, whats it for? I said, got a wife and 4 little kids to protect.. He says, if you would have said for "hunting" I would let you in but now I gotta ask you to either leave it here/pick it up on the way out or you wont be able to pass.. I said fine,,, I will stay in the U.S., keep my gun in my closet, cash in my wallet,, will take the kids to Cedar Point instead.. He says,, if you promise to keep the gun in the closet you can pass,, I said as long as I dont need it I promise it will never leave the closet.. He let us pass :rotf: My oh my how times have changed.....
adventurer 08 Posted March 19, 2014 Author #14 Posted March 19, 2014 First of all we took the US route because of the weather on Wed., AAA suggested a US route rather than Canada. Here's a few of the pictures I took.
