East Coast Trip 2012 - Day 4 - Part 2

    The motorcycle gods had been smiling on me all day. I managed to stay dry until I got to the Hudson River bridge, just outside of NYC, then I did something to anger the gods. It frickin dumped on me for the rest of the day. I'm talkin epic down pour. Good thing I keep my wallet and cell phone in ziploc bags at all times, while on a trip, because I couldn't pull off to put my rain gear on. I couldn't pull off due to the stand still, ruthless, every man for himself traffic. I would battle this, with my head on a swivel, for the next 3 hours or so. Did I mention I did this all in the rain?
    On the BQE (Brooklyn Queens Expressway), which cuts between Manhattan and Brooklyn, I found a place to pull off and check my location, time, and call Indian Larry's shop. The lady said they were about to close because business was slow due to the rain. She said they close soon anyways, but would stay open if I hurried. Traffic was standing still, so I split lanes for a few miles... every man for himself! There was no way I was gunna miss seeing Larry's shop. This is my Graceland! I can't put into words how stoked I was to be there. I got there in time and spent about 30 minutes in awe, til they closed. Enjoy........
