Thanks to all who provided comments here and in PM's. For those who recommended the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon just off 6, I can testify that it is definitely a must see for those riding in the area. We are now in NYS on 30 heading towards Lake Placid area - more amazing roads!! Today in Honsdale PA, I toured by far the largest and most amazing bike shop called Rusty Palmers, with Yamaha topping the list of bikes it sells. Several pics of the place are in our blog post today. Appropriate for its grandiose size and decor, the ceiling fan is a helicopter blade. Here is a pic of the customer lounge that has an indoor pond alongside.
