Have you guys heard about this dude? I reckon we should all be buying him a drink as he rolls through our towns.

It hasn't been stolen yet,I purposefully crashed it in Newark to make it less desirable. Had the same affect on my knee,ankle and elbow.

Hope that ankle is ok. It doesn't look too pretty; glad you are up and moving.

Just remember, If you wake up in a bathtub full of ice someone might have parted out your kidney...

Enjoy it, Tipper - between Syracuse westward through the Finger Lakes country, then onwards towards Cleveland is some beautiful countryside.

I think the Syracuse Tipper is referring to is in Indiana. If he goes to the one in New York, he's going seriously backwards (although it would be a beautiful ride). If he tries to go to the one in Sicily then God help him.

Ah. Makes sense. I haven't read the blog yet, and the last mention was in Newark.
My family hails from central New York State, and I love the scenery, wineries, etc. Going back with a scooter would be most fun.

Hey Tipper, have you seen this website?
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/
It basically lists all the roadside attractions in the US.
Also, I can't believe you're skipping over Minnesota, you don't want to visit the sandpaper museum or the world's largest pantsless voyager?

Yeah thats the site I have been getting a lot of my info from.
I was meant to be crossing Nebraska in a single hit today but I ended up drinking all of last night with a bunch of medical students so I was in no fit state to ride 350 miles this morning !
Hopefully I will be back to 100% and ready to roll tomorrow.

Its a little bit north of my route and I am riding the whole width of Nebraska in one day so Im not going to make it.
I wish I had more time but I am already a day behind due to drinking Omaha dry last night and being too hungover to move today.
