Left June 21st and headed north up Rt 213 into Pennsylvania. Drove some backroads thru Amish country near Lancaster and around Harrisburg, PA, then took Rt 15 north to Williamsport PA. Once in Williamsport (230 miles) we stayed the night and the next morning headed out on Rt 15 north to one of the smaller Finger Lakes off Rt 256. Took a break, met a sweet babe and headed west on Rt 20 into Buffalo. Went around (south) Buffalo and crossed over the Peace Bridge into Canada.

Stayed 1.5 miles from the Falls at a Mom and Pop motel, very clean and nice people, $60 per night TOTAL!!!

Next day, headed back over the Rainbow Bridge into the US and back the same way home.. Stopped off at Williamsport Pa for an over nighter at the Quality Inn, off route 15 (place was a dump and smelled like a wet campfire). Next day hauled a$$ back to Maryland, got home on Wednesday the 24th at 1:15pm.

Averaged 50 mpg up and 64 mpg on the way back. Had sever head winds all the way up, but made up for it as tail winds on the way back.

Bikes ran perfectly, driving light burned out, reaplaced it with a spare.

Saw some spectacular scenery, Rt 15 north out of Harrisburg PA into New York is a good scenic road.....
