NOB's Americade 2K9 trip went well this year. There was only four of us on this trip this year. Unfortunately, Ron Milon (BMW K 1200 GT) was only able to go as far as Vermont with us. The rest of the group comprised of Erskine Clinton (ZZR 1400), Phil Williams (Honda GL 1800)and your truly with a GL 1800. Our trip was awesome this year. A great deal of miles very low drama. We met in Olean, NY the first night. Phil had started his journey from Opelika, AL. I believe that Opelika, AL is where Sheriff Taylor's (Andy Griffith) grandfather was born. Phil rode to Erskine's home in Lexington, KY. They rode out from Lexington, KY to Olean, NY. I started my journey from Barrington, IL. I met Ron Milon in Toledo, OH. The two of us rode to Olean, NY. We had a great dinner at World Famous Beef 'n Barrel in Olean, NY. Phil ordered Halibut which was to die for. I say that because with the amount of salt that was on the Halibut a person would OD on salt.
The next day we left beautiful Olean for Syracuse, NY. Anyone that rides with us knows this is one of our few traditions to eat at this Motorcyle Friendly BBQ Joint. Of course Phil and Erskine lived in Syracuse for a long time and they called a few of their friends and we had a nice little reunion. We left Syracuse right after lunch and drove the backroads to Vermont. Erskine found some really nice back roads. Our journey ended day 2 in Battleboro, VT.
