Road Trip

Hi All

Well a few months ago did a road trip from Colorado to Florida and Return. It was just me and the wife...Must say it was a good trip
in the HHR...

Now its time for another trip.( Leaving 6/9) Going to see my parents in NYC.. Driving from Colorado straight up I-80.... This time its me,Wife, Son (22) and Grandson (7). It will be a full house.. Told everyone it will be hot so pack alot of shorts and light shirts..

Meantime I purshased a 2005 Honda VTX 1300R Motorcycle about a month a go. Has 7,000 Miles runs good. Since the wife had knee replacement I wanted a trike ,better on 3-4 wheels... But cant afford it so I bought a Voyager
convertable kit....

Overall not to bad, need some adjustments... But cost half the cost of a trike kit...

Thanks CrazyCarKid

Wish I would have had a e-z pass transmitter for that part of the states..
I picked up an application on the Ohio turnpike. There region covers:

Current E-ZPass States: Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Ohio, Rhode Island, Indiana and Illinois.


This would have been good for me especially crossing the GWB and Lincoln tunnel.....

Yeah, thankfully on my road trip the only area that had that stuff was just outside Chicago, then you have to get on a different expressway to head up to Michigan, so I lucked out on that. About the only time I'm ever on the Ohio Turnpike is to head to Cedar Point!
