Oh in Canton. I was gonna get my Bonnie there til I found out that Northern Ohio Ducati was adding triumph and the owner and I have a mutual friend. It's less than 2 miles for my house now and I've become friendly with the owner.
Hardings is only about half an hour away. When you coming to town? There's some really good roads south of Canton. |

we're shooting for April 28th. Not sure how much pleasure riding I'll be able to do - will depend on what my pilot's plans are for flying home. Definitely at least get together for lunch or something, though.
If he flies back home the same day, I'll be heading to pittsburgh that night and will be able to ride southward and meet up somewhere. |

Post up your itinerary when you guys figure it out. Even if you need to head toward Pitt, we can find a more fun way than the stupid turnpike.
If ya need any local info, pm me. |

Well, we'll see how this weekend shapes up.
The original plan was to fly out on Saturday, get part of the way home (Bradford, PA), and then get the rest of the way home on Sunday. But, the weather forecast is not being kind in Canton for this, so the airplane may not be our mode of transport.
If we can't fly out, I may rent a car and drive out on Friday instead (supposed to be nicer in Canton on Friday) and ride as far back home as I care to. Then finish the trip up on Saturday.
Gonna be chilly... going to miss those heated grips for sure... |

I was wondering what you were planing to do, calling for mid 40's and rain here Saturday. Not much warmer Friday but at least it's supposed to be dry. |

I love the challenge of going to get a new vehicle, I did a fly/ride to the UK to get my TT.
It started raining as they wheeled it out the showroom in Manchester & didn't stop til I was home in France 2 days later.
I'm off on another trip tomorrow probably too, off to N Germany to pick up an Alfa Romeo, going overnight on the train this time.
Have fun & enjoy the trip. |

I might get to relive the fun the next weekend to deliver a bike... might have the S3T sold already. At least I'd be heading south for that one. |

amtrak has a 7 pm train from albany to cleveland but you get in at 3 am. then you'd need a hotel and a bus to canton, but is is a possiblilty.
there may also be a bus from albany to canton

Yep, not a cloud in the sky, bright sunshine, looks like it's about 75 degrees. Then I opened the door, and found out it's more like 45. |

Good for you.
Was in a Trumpet dealer yesterday, had a look at the Explorer.
Blimey that thing's skinny!!
But so tempting, shaft drive with a 1215 triple & I'm told it's reliably tunable up to 140 horse easily.
I also found the Cruiser for me, the Thunderbird Storm, but by the time I'm ready for one, they'll be selling old cheap used ones. |
