Manhattan, NYC bikes
« on: March 30, 2015, 09:04:14 PM »
All,

We spent the last five days in NYC visiting eldest daughter.  She turned 25.  Part of our visit was to the 911 Memorial, at the World Trade Center.

They had a display of interest to all who ride motorcycles:



Here is the Honda:



The Museum, displays and stories are beyond description.  I am glad we went, but it was emotionally wrenching.

On Saturday while near Union Square park I spotted this Manhattan Combat Riding Bike. 



Pretty impressive and much better suited to the horrid streets, traffic, potholes and construction.

Otherwise we had a great visit, but the girls wore me out, and my ears are sore from way too many words.  Looking forward to a prime weather 3 day weekend and riding Little Goose.

If you ever feel like no one pays attention to you, try making a sandwich in front of your dog

One of my favorite riding memories was exploring Manhattan on a Sunday morning on my Bandit.  No traffic (by NYC standards).

I generally enjoy it, actually find it less stressful than taking the subway.
