I’ll be sitting by my computer all day today waiting for a few roadtrip stories. Please don’t disappoint.
The trip was a good one. It was me and a buddy. We headed up through upstate NY and crossed over into Canada via Niagra Falls. What can I say about Canada? I’m going to make a blanket statement here- Canadians are crazy fuckers on the road. We were on the QEW which is a highway.
The speed limit is 100 km/h which translates to 60 mph for us. The harleys don’t have that easy conversion on the speedo. I didn’t realize until we were out of Canada that my coversion from km/h to mph was a bit flawed. I was assuming that 2.2 km = 1 mph.
I wonder where i came up with that. anyway, it didn’t matter. we were doing 80 and everyone else was doing 100. the road was crappy with lots of pot holes and the signs are very far and few between. We kept running into backups. When we finally stopped to buy gas it was $1 a liter. I don’t know what that means. All I know is that I spent close to $40 to fill up both bikes.
We stopped at a Mcdonald’s for our healthy lunch. I had two # 3’s and my buddy had one as well. I spent almost $25 on that. I would be in the poor house if I lived in Canada. The people were nice though. More than a few times when we were just creeping along on the highway, people would ask- “Where you heading, ahh?” I was really looking forward to someone calling me a “hoser”.
We cut the time in Canada short and crossed back over at Kingston. We headed down to the Adorondaks. We stayed in a Holiday Inn Express one night. So the next day I kept hoping that I would do something amazing like save someones life. They would ask if I was a doctor and I would say “No, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.”
We then road around the finger lakes. It was all pretty chill and uneventful. We got rained on a lot but that is to be expected. I had the same two meals everyday. I ate either pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage and french toast or hamburgers and fries. I also discovered Labatts Blue. I drank my fair share of that.
I learned a valuable lesson when sleeping in the same room as my buddy. The first night I was out like shout. the second night Sin City was on tv so I stayed up and watched it. He fell asleep first. As I was about to fall asleep he started to snore.
my wife tells me that I snore and it drives her crazy. I can now empathize with her. I tried to deal with it for about a half an hour. I then started to yell at him. He didn’t wake up. I then started throwing pilows at him. still nothing… finally I got up and punch him in his junk. that worked. I told him to watch tv until i fell asleep. all was right in the world again.
All in all it was a great time full of beer and food.
