we had a couple days to kill, so we went to new york, as they have real good pizza. Plus Polina wanted to do some siteseeing.
Have you ever driven a dodge maxivan with an 8' wide dual axle trailer down 42nd street?
Thats probably because you have more sense than I do.

big assed cemetery in brooklyn. I like brooklyn, its very diverse, & always much fun to walk around.

we went to the empire state building, I'd never been up there after dark, it was cool

while we were in Boston, we visited the Cheers bar. it was pretty Cheezy, actually.

then we went to the port & crawled around on a WW2 destroyer. this one survived 2 kamikazee attacks

I was busy at the other auctions & didnt think to take any pics there. was too crowded anyhow. I did meet a couple goes from ADV tho, they knew who I was from my trip this summer. I'm almost famous.

U-haul on the towtruck, of course it was raining, & we had toi swap the stuff in a muddy parking lot. joy

the dodge is a bit full, I'll start unloading them tomorrow.

Cool - looks like some interesting projects! You better get to work...

Wow! What a haul. I sold a '65 Gilera 124 Strada because it seemed overwhleming. Then, I look at what you've got going on. Whew!

I recognized your girl from one of your other RR's. If I remember correctly, you two "hit it off".

As always, I really enjoy your threads. Thank you for taking the time.

Can't wait to hear about and see a video or two that Wankel.

I love the big question mark on top of the Wankel's gas tank

well, the sidecar was previously on a R90/6 thats also in the pile. the PO put it on the victory, & I was gonna put it back on the bmw to ride, as I miss having a rig.
but then tonite I unloaded the vic & took it for a ride. I think I'm gonna keep the vic rig & sell the bmw
Victory does much better powerslides than any BMW outfit I have ridden

but, maybe I'll get rid of it in the spring.

Nice load there Doug! Had I known you were passing through Brooklyn,
I would have been happy to show you the very best pizza in town!

Look forward to more garage carnage pics!
