Don Daly has once again come up with a fantastic day ride!! This time the destination is to the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, NY. Fly in a WWII C-47 for about 30-45 minutes (cost is about $100), or just visit the museum. The ride will also stop at the 3-Legged Pig BBQ!!
Plan on taking the Thruway to get there (about 1½ hours to get there), and then the back roads to get back.
Who's interested in going?? When do you wanna go??

The MoCo has posted their “Rides Home”:
In addition, our own HOG Chapter is planning to ride out- two separate groups are going:
-
Canadian Group: leaving Monday, July 10, taking 2 days to get there. Route will most likely be from here to Niagara (day 1); then through the bottom part of Ontario, crossing back into the US in Michigan (day 2); and then taking the SS Badger across Lake Michigan to Manitowoc, WI, arriving in Milwaukee on the 12th.
-
US Group: leaving Tuesday, July 11, taking 1 day to get to Milwaukee. Route will most likely be from here south to I-90 Thruway, then west through Pennsylvania and Ohio (day 1); then continuing on I-90 through Indiana & Illinois before swinging north to Milwaukee.
Wanna be in on the fun? Let Dawn know you'd like to join the FXT HOG 120th WhatsApp Group.

- Ride to Shanksville, PA: plenty of sightseeing opportunities with some amazing stuff to see along the way: Flight 93 Memorial, Covered Bridges, Highland Forest and other recommended routes south of Pittsburgh.
