You fellows covered some ground. People that do not know Manhattan cannot imagine how dense it is. And of course you rode through the densest parts.

What would be really cool for me would be to see Godzilla visiting the apartment I lived in back in '72. I don't have any pictures of that time in my life. I was a draftee and stationed in Ft Hamilton, the Army Chaplain school, running the pharmacy for a few months. Don't remember the exact address. Fort Hamilton Parkway below the Verrazano. What I do remember: cross the Verrazano from Staten, take the first exit (I believe) left then left onto Ft Hamilton Pkwy. On the right immediately before you get to the gate of Ft Hamilton in the basement of the row house. Provided it's still there of course

Just checked your pix. Thanks for those memories

Hard to believe it's been almost 40 years since a young 20 year old wet-behind-the-ears kid from western Kentucky lived in NYC going from BFE to the greatest place in the world.

I'll be heading up to Rhinebeck but sadly in my car. I'm getting their early but will try and stay for the handing off ceremony.

I might be able to find that this week Jerry. Do you recall the name of a street? Because I sure as #$%* will not be going on the veranzano just to turn around again to follow those directions

Ft Hamilton Parkway. Past 100th and close to the entrance of Ft Hamilton as I look on the map. One thing I didn't anticipate - Is Ft Hamilton still in operation?

Nortstudio · « **Reply #231 on:** June 06, 2011, 03:42:07 AM »

I really have no idea whether it's still operational, but I would doubt it.

Maybe I'll take a cruise down to that old neighborhood and see what we find...

Great ride reports, keep the pictures coming. Looking forward to seeing more.

I went into the Army from Ft. Hamilton too back in '67. They are still open but since 9/11 there are posts at the entrances.

For those of you coming to Rhinebeck by bike here are the arrangements from the organizers:

Hi Bob,

I have you in on Saturday at 1:00. When you get to the gate tell them you are an exhibitor. We have a lot of press attending so you will have good coverage.
I'm thinking of doing the exchange in front of building E. Pray for good weather!
Best regards,
Katherine

If you are not riding up with Scott and I, Google map, Duchess County Fairgrounds, Rhinebeck NY. PM me if you are coming with your contact info and I will respond.

This the last leg in Mid Atlantic, and the Lizard moves on.

Doggie · « **Reply #235 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:07:06 PM »

I will be driving up on Saturday in my truck. Hope the weather is nice. 60% rain right now. I'll find you guys when I get there. Hope to be there by noon.
Doggie (Doug)

Ill be there rain or shine. Look out for the chromed out K2 810cc road racer

Nortstudio · « **Reply #237 on:** June 09, 2011, 10:17:31 AM »

Just wrapped up at Billy Joel's shop/museum. It was very last minute, I'm sorry I had no lead time to get more people involved - but they agreed to allow me to come take a look and get shots of GZ on the 2 SOHC-4s he owns.

I'll post pics later this evening.

Lovely day for an air cooled bike in the 97 degree heat. Eeegads!!!

Well done Team. Godzilla was handed off to AndyCB750 at Rhinebeck NY at 2PM. Scott (Nortstudio) and I rode through the Hudson Valley and met Team New England. If it were a decent day it would have been better, but we had a great time
nonetheless. It rained in the way home. Pictures will be posted on the Riders report thread.

Well done Team Mod Atlantic, mission accomplished!

Fantastic news Team Mid Atlantic. You guys kick ass!! Thanks to all

Now the heat is on Andy and Team New England. Godzilla will soon be an international star.

Jerry we have been invited back to Rhinebeck next year. If I give them more lead time we can be a bigger part. We did get a lot of lookers.

Just posted my entry to the Rider Log page. Some good photos of the hand-off to Team New England.

I can confirm that Bobby R and Scott (Nortstudio) completed their mission:
