New Ride Alert: Pigs Fly-In Ride, Saturday, Sept. 23 |
Don Daly has once again come up with a fantastic day ride!! This time the destination is to the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, NY. Fly in a WWII C-47 for about 30-45 minutes (optional & additional cost), or just visit the museum. The ride will also stop at the 3-Legged Pig BBQ!!
Plan on taking the Thruway to get there (about 1½ hours to get there), and then the back roads to get back.
Meet up & KSU times are still being determined, and we'll get that info out soon.

A 4-day celebration for 120 years of the MoCo’s wind therapy & freedom. Expect fun filled days & nights July 13th until the 16th. The MoCo has posted their “Rides Home”: visit H-D.com/homecoming for more info.
In addition, our own HOG Chapter is planning to ride out- AN UPDATE on the two separate groups are going:
-
Canadian Group: Hotel reservations have been made for Niagara Falls, Ontario (for the night of July 10), and Ludington, MI for the night of July 11. On July 12 we'll be taking the SS Badger across Lake Michigan to Manitowoc, WI, then about an hour's ride south Milwaukee.
-
US Group: leaving Tuesday, July 11, taking 1 day to get to Milwaukee. Route will most likely be from here south to I-90 Thruway, then west through Pennsylvania and Ohio (day 1). Consensus of the group seems to be seeing how far we can get that first day, determining where to spend the night that afternoon... most likely somewhere around Toledo. Day 2 (July 12) will have us continuing on I-90 through Indiana & Illinois before swinging north to Milwaukee.
Wanna be in on the fun? Let Dawn know you'd like to join the FXT HOG 120th WhatsApp Group.
