Ok I got two days to update.

Day 16.

We had a short ride this day, less than 200mi to get to Brian's place in NYC. I was promised of twisties on the way but that turned out to be false. First we limped to a gas station with probably around 0.25 gallons in my tank and filled up. Then we got lunch at a little sandwich shops and took off.

We got to the twisties and I took off ahead of Brian. It was a 2 lane road and I figured it would eventually turn to one lane and become fun. It never did. I'd describe these twisties as "no-hand twisties" or fasties. And that's how I rode a lot of it, with no hands. This took a lot of concentration and I learned some new aerodynamic steering inputs. Switchbacks, though they were mild, proved to be the most difficult. The bike steers very slowly when you don't use the bars so everything I did had to be though out in advance and planned.

It was tons of fun and I was able to have fun at a much slower speed which also left me a large cushion for mistakes. The road was marked as a 55mph and I was generally doing 65-70. If I was going balls out I'd feel comfortable doing 80-100 on it so going 65-70 was much safer, even without hands

We got to Harlem and unpacked and parked the bikes. Then of course it was time for food. We went to a Korean chicken wing place and got some excellent wings and a sushi roll thingie. Then we met up with two of Brian's friends, clover and Amelia, and proceeded to get **** faced at a sake bar, hence the $225 bill.

I knew I liked these girls and that it was going to be a good night when (after a couple drinks) Amelia began a story with "So I was taking a **** on the toilet" The sake was fantastic, I guess we all tried a lot of high end stuff and there may have been a slight drinking contest between the people who don't pass out after 3 drinks Oh yea, we got raw octopus, it was pretty strange. Good but very strange, not sure I'd order it again. The night ended stumbling drunk through New York City.

Day 17

I woke up slightly hungover from the previous night, as did Brian. He brought us some food truck chicken over rice that was ****ing amazing. We lounged around the apartment for a good chunk of the day and I reorganized my **** for shipping the motorcycle back. Some of my stuff is going on the bike (illegal stuff ) and the rest will go on the plane with me.

We left the apartment in the late afternoon to go gift shopping for my family. Walked around NYC for probably 2-3 hours and got Japadog in the middle of that. Japadog is ****ing amazing, fantastic food for a low ass ****ing price. Big to them. I ended up getting my dad a flask with a built in collapsible shot, my eldest brother a fancy pants bottle opening thing, my other older brother a I <3 NY tshirt because that is the stupid ****ing ****** gift he asked for and my youngest sister a spray paint street painting. I was really impressed as I watched the guy make it and decided to get that. Super touristy but idgaf! Suck it. Btw, I got super ****ing ripped off on the tshirt. First stand I saw I stopped and got one for $10. A tshirt for $10 sounds like a regular price to me. Well a block away a store was selling 4 I <3 shirts for $11. I was like aw ****, for a dollar more I coulda got 3 more shirts! Balls.

Btw I still have to get my mom and my older sister something. Any ideas? Sister likes owls and asked for a cool magnet. Also I want to get my brother something else besides this gay tshirt, thoughts?

Dropped all my **** off at the apartment and we proceeded to a bar where Amelia bar tends. We were greeted with shots of patron and then received free alcohol for the rest of the night. Also, she gave me a free monster! After we had our fill of alcohol, (I think Brian made it to two drinks), we went to the other bar that Amelia works at which also serves food. So we got more food and then another round of shots. Pro tip, when you get free drinks tip heavily!

After that, went back home and passed out drunk.

New York City, I could see living here. The city would help make up for the lack of fun riding. I wouldn't want to move here but if there was a job opportunity or something then I could see that happening.

Chicago can suck on my nuts and Toronto can lick my asshole

NYC is just too busy for me. Stick me in a cabin in the middle of grand central park and it might be okay. **** winter there.

Great Trip man, and nicely organized blog, felt like it was me on the trip. I always wanted to do a road-trip from NY to Cali but never had the time nor the money. Glad you guys made it back.
