Today was the day to take the Statue of Liberty and traveling down 6th Ave., New York city and waving at FOXNews off my bucket list. so many many angels made it happen.. first Cooky and Ernie with their incredible hospitality.. getting me through the roundabouts giving me fresh maps of how to get to Staten Island.. thank you so much they worked perfectly. Sundays are supposed to be the easiest days to get around New York Ciphoenix Staten Island except this Sunday is the annual New York City bikeathon.. one policeman said there is between 15 and 20,000 bikers they close down freeways roads everything.. you said you could not have picked a worse Sunday but I will help you get around.. follow his directions down to the ferry terminal could not get down there so had to do another GPS get my personal service going.. finally said one police officer how can I get to that ferry trrminal and he said tell you what you flip the U-turn right there I cannot see what you're doing he said park your trike I'll watch it you don't have to worry about anything because I'm going to be right here for the next four hours.. So got to see Statue of Liberty took lots of pictures.. unfortunately cannot figure out how to post them on this forum.. when I got back I thank the nice policeman and said help get me down sixth Avenue in Manhattan New York city he laughed and said only idiots go down there and that he personally had never done it. He said I can tell you what bridge to cross but after that you're on your own.. My personal asking GPS and never failed me.. Several times went round and round up and down round and round until I found the right street.. have decided New York taxi drivers are crazy and the people trying to hail the taxi are even crazier they just jump out the middle of Street at trying to get taxies .. I eventually found sixth avenue drove down it saw FOXNews waved at them to get them and at the end of sixth Avenue start looking for people to get me out of town and headed toward New England states.. discovered at those swanky hotels that if you pull up the doorman come right to you.. so I would ask them how do I get to 95 I want to go to Connecticut.. I learned how to do U-turns really well.. turn one and cut a cop off all he did was wave at me well I think he was waving!!! Some more of the go round asked many questions eventually asked young man on a motorcycle and he said you follow me I'll get you there. Went for about 2 miles and he pulls over to the right I pull up beside him he says oh crap I missed the turnoff.. Then he says see the turnoffs right there tell you what I'll block two lanes of traffic you flip a U-turn and you go on your merry way.. he did and I did and I am in Connecticut in a motel sending you this message!! Whoop whoop two things off of my bucket list!!!
ray: for that dude..speaking of toll roads...holy crap that was my first (and seemed like unending) experience...had no idea...trust me when I leave today I am finding a bank getting a roll of quarters and stacck of $1's...
