Thursday, June 9: I can't believe we'll be leaving tomorrow... or that I'm actually blogging today's events! Today was a rest day for us.. haha... we didn't have any tours planned for today, we slept LATE! (7:15am) took our time eating breakfast, then headed back to the expo to look at everything we looked at before and decide what we were going to get. We got a new front tire for the motorcycle, it probably would have been ok for the rest of the trip, but we went ahead and had it done now so we wouldn't have to worry about it. While we were getting a new tire put on we shopped. I decided on the luggage for the bike, got a face shield for my 3/4 helmet and of course we ate!!!!We talked to a couple of guys from the NY motorcyle safety, they give motorcyle safety classes, which you have to take before getting your license like Georgia. Ray told him about the bumper stickers, they asked for some. So when we left the Expo we left them a small stack. They loved the stickers!!! I was tickled of course. We've given away well over 100 stickers since we've been up here. The hotel also has a small stack at the registration desk.
We ate at Christie's tonight for dinner, overlooking Lake George. It's a really nice restaurant off Canada Street (the main drag in Lake George). The pictures today are of us at Christie's and our view while we ate. Canada Street was packed with motorcycles. People sit off the street in lawn chairs and blankets watching the bikes. We were told there are about 70,000 bikes here!! It's incredible, every make, model, color, style..... Some amazing paint jobs, one of them is the Gieco bike! Actually they had two of them at the Expo. While we were eating dinner watching the boats on the lake I noticed one of the cruise boats was heading in, it happened to be the Kawasaki sponsored cruise which Barbara and Barry were on, so we met them when they got off the boat and they wanted us to.... guess..... yep, go get ice cream.....
Well, I'm all caught up for now, tomorrow we'll take half a tour... sort of... and of course barbara and Barry are taking the same tour... it's so funny how we picked the same schedule except the dinner cruise today. We'll go to the destination, but instead of returning back to Lake George We'll be meeting Sue and John, then heading to NH. We've had incredible weather, a little cool in the morning, but only a few sprinkles. You know us... that's amazing that we've been gone for over a week and haven't had to ride in downpours yet. Even if it rains every day from now until we get home, we're still ahead of the game! ;) We heard last year that it was miserable the whole week of Americade, raining almost every day and very cold. (highs in the mid 40's, now that's cold for JUNE!) We were prepared for cold weather, bringing all our electric gear, fortunately we haven't had to use them at all. Not even me! :) hurray!
Well, I'm off to bed, we'll have a long day tomorrow, meeting Sue and John in Vermont, then they will lead us on a ride to their house in NH where we'll stay until next Thursday.
