East Coast Vacation

We recently went on an East Coast vacation to Washington DC, Gettysburg, and New York City. We had a great time at all three destinations. We were definitely in tourist mode, visiting multiple tourist sites every day.



We went on a Capitol tour given by our congresswoman's office.


One of many cannons at Gettysburg. Sharon and Dale have a mean look because the cannon is a weapon of war. Don't they look tough!



Here we are on Ellis Island. I'm guessing you can tell what's in the background!

Motorcycle Gear

I have my full set of motorcycle gear. All that is left is license (taking written test on Thursday) and an actual motorcycle.

I have a modular helmet from KBC. A jacket from Frank Thomas. The helmet is black, the jacket is black and white. Decided to go with the white jacket for added visibility as well as it looked cool.

Cool Bike Formation - Watch more free videos

Here is a Youtube video that gives a good explanation of the class that I took over the last couple of days:
