Got away from NOTL, on time at 9:00am, I have this motorcycle packing down to a science now, and it only takes about 4 hours to collect everything I need and pack, not 4 days as before, plus it all fits in my bags.
All of today was travelling on the Thruway (I-90) from Buffalo to Amsterdam, NY and then North to Lake George. Saw lots of bikes heading this way on my way here as well.
Rode with a fellow Kawasaki (Vulcan 1500) rider for about 16km into Lake George, he lived in the area, and was most helpful in getting me onto I-87 North for the last 40km to here. His vest had a US Marines Leatherneck patch, but I did not fine out how old his Grandmother was, maybe we will meet up again.
A long day and Interstates are not my favourite, but it moves you over the distance, and I maintained 120km for most of it.
Americade is amazing, very well organized, and VERY helpful people.
But the real action is a night, when everyone cruises back and forth on Canada Street (Route 9), with all the bikes lit up. I saw one with 1,000wats of LED lighting, brighter than most headlights, what a show.
Tuesday is trade show day for me, looking for new tires, I hope..
