Cooperstown is an awesome, clean, small, history filled town, or "village". I got lost looking for the HOF and didn't mind at all. Got to see some sweet ass old homes and buildings. The Baseball HOF itself put the Pro Football HOF to shame. I could have spent way more time looking at more old balls, but had downtown NYC on the back of my mind heavy.
Got outta town, village, and headed for New York, New York. Somewhere around Albany, at a gas stop, ran into a couple of fellas from Rhode Island. They were on their way home from Sturgis. I b.s.ed with them for a half an hour or so. They said it was roughly 5000 miles round trip. One guy was on a modern metric v-twin, my favorite (sarcasm) with a windshield. 5000 miles is a good pull for any bike, but the other was on a SOHC CB750 ridgid. Got to askin that dude some questions and he said, during the trip, he ditched the pod filters, which made the bike run better and got better mpg. He started out with a jockey shift with the clutch on the lever, but it broke. Just put a hand clutch back on and clamped some vice grips on the shifter shaft. Sure that wasn't good on the splines, but what do ya do? Said he just kicked them with his foot to shift. Made it all the way from Sturgis and back with minor problems.
Checked the radar on my phone before takin off. Severe storms were in the area. No suprise. This couldn't kill my buzz though. I was headed to NYC and Indian Larry's shop. Right on!
