Welcome Glen and his wife, this is truly a remarkable forum, the people here are very knowledgeable and very eager to help. I used to live in Upstate New York in Plattsburgh. Always loved the weather there and the area was so fun to travel and take the kids on adventures.
@2fltc Hi
It's a pretty nice place. Has the full Indian timeline from prototype to present, a bunch of AMA bikes, customs, and a lot of early bikes. Has a couple of "Wall of Death" s set up.If you are in the area ,worth the visit.
I thought the Urals were very rugged, they didn't fall apart.
@dennis-peabody Hi. I still haven't been to Plattsburgh, but we get as close as North Creek regularly. The ADKs are beautiful,even if the black flies and mosquitoes can be bad.Lots of good riding up there, without as many cars.
