So tomorrow morning Thursday the 22nd I'm going to head out on the Dyna up to Port Jeff station take the ferry over to Bridgeport and pretty much take a scenic way all the way to ESTA...
I've been this way a few times It's really a nice trip going through the southern part of the Berkshires and then cutting across a Hudson River over into the Catskills and then I'll just country roads.. I will be stopping in Columbus New York that's where my father-in-law has some property so I'll be pretty much spending my weekend there..
On Friday morning I'm going to head to Hillside Cycle to get the bike on the dyno just to make sure it doesn't need anything and then Sunday morning I'm going to head to ESTA Speedway...
I'll try to take pictures and might even go a little bit different way when it comes to the Catskills up through Saugerties.. There's a seasonal pass canyon Road that's pretty amazing..
Generally though the map below is the route I'm going to be taking.. should be a real nice day and the weather is going to be in my favor for the whole weekend..

I did a variation of that ride a couple years ago. Leaving from Hillside for a three day layover in White Plains then on to DC/Virginia border for the Auto Train down to this roasting pit of hell where we live.. In August also. The first three hours out of hillside was beautiful, but the further south I went, not as much. Most everything about part 2 of the trip just sucked overall, other than the fact that I was on my bike.
I do love ferries. The Bridgeport/Port Jeff ferry is great, but the Essex/Charlotte across Lake Champlain is my fav.
Going to be a great adventure I would definitely run the lights with ya if I still lived in NY
You know, I was just thinking you have plenty of time to get there so why not make a road trip.. I'd Love to shoot the **** with you and have a great weekend..

You're not that far away...
Well, it is 900 miles, My wife is actually in NY right now, picking her up from the Airport this weekend. Got my hands full with two fur babies right now!
Thanks @Mchad
I will.. Hope all is well.. Haven't heard from you in some time.. Yeah FLORIDA is too hot for me..
Things have been good mostly. Lost my wifes mother a few weeks ago. Was rough but expected, she was ready to go and went happily in hospice. She was what brought us to this inferno, so were now getting ready to buy a condo or townhouse somewhere up there, less left than NY. Not perfect but thinking upstate CT or VT.
Having a hard time with the concept of leaving a bike for six months a year, but one here, and one there makes more sense then hauling two back and forth. The FXR is gone btw. Guy by me has been bugging me about it for a while and made me an offer I couldnt refuse. So I dont have to worry about the third wheel lol. Probably going to bring the Dyna north since the speeds are much higher down here and the King is more comfortable to cruise at mid 80s all day.
Id love PA mostly because my FL carry permit (got it before FL went constitutional) works there or VT because its also constitutional. CT would be premise only unless I want to jump through the hoops for a non-resident permit. IDK
