Started the day in Salem Mass this was a very exciting day for my better half and me, we both have wanted to go here. We did the Salem Witch Museum and it was very good, its what you would expect. Moved to the "witch village and shopping" we both are not huge shoppers and it was crowded and very north east everyone trying to stop you to sell you stuff. Next stop was Proctors Ledge and it was erry, if you are into that stuff it will for sure make the hair on your neck stand. Salem cemetery was very neat, lots of information to read. We did some food and shopping and none of it was good enough to want to write about it. we slept in RI. The only photos I got all day where of the only covered bridge in RI.

The host of the Airbnb was amazing, art professor, traveler, car guy (had some vintage fiats and a lotus esprite he was restoring) Started the day going to narrangessett and it was super cute and very RI feeling.
Got some food at South county bread co and it was just perfect. Next stop was Hebron CT, considering we live in Hebron, OH it was a must. Found out they have a gay park we had to stop at.
Kaplan cycles was our next stop an its a super cool place to see, don't make that your only reason to head out there, we are super spoiled in central Ohio with the AMA museum and one of the coolest motorcycle retail stores in the country but its was still cool to see.
Super cool modified KTM690
One of my favorite dirbikes ever built. The story behind these is super cool and sad.
We made our way to New Winsor NY for the night.
Ah, you made it to Hebron and Veron, CT. I would have grabbed a bite to eat with you, I'm only about 15-20ish minutes away. Rein's Deli is excellent if you're ever passing back through, probably about 5 minutes away from Kaplan.

We did make it that far. It was a last minute decision. Ill be back around Vernon, CT next spring so will for sure reach out.

We left New Windsor, NY and there was one Harley dealer I wanted to stop by. We kept calling it Barbs Cranked Hog, it was a Harley dealer and I got a cool shirt. We stopped to get brunch and some philly cheese steaks at Champs Cheese steaks and they where 10/10 I get the hype. We got some coffee across the street and it wasn't great.
We made our way to philly and we stopped by revzilla mother store and I was beyond disappointed. Its no Iron Pony. We then ran around Philly some and went Maryland to stay with some turbo dodge friends for the night.

Is the White P Body Shadow / Sundance on the left a Shelby CSX Car with a 5-speed? If so, It was at the Vintage Restorations LTD Open House in 2023. I got a few pics of it then.
Even though I am from PA I really have no Idea about anything in Philly - It seems like a world and a very expen$ive Toll Road away.
In reply to slantsix :
It is a csxt that is 5 speed. There was a good chance it was there.
Philly is something. Been to a bunch of big cities and this was my least favorite
