Bloody hell. It's been a week since we started and we're still only in New York. Taking the backroads on these motorcycles really is slow. Since we're not taking freeways, all the backroads generally run through small towns and we constantly get stuck in traffic. The windy roads and great scenery in the countryside is quite wonderful, but progress is slow and sitting in traffic through towns is violating.
We found a good motorcycle shop in Parryville, PA (www.blockers.com). They took a couple hours and found that Willow's ignition timing was off and so they adjusted the points, and she was running good again. Willow's speedometer cable broke a couple days ago as well, so they fixed that( by making a cable with an antique car tool from the 1920s), and also put in new air filters.
Fred just sat in the parking lot while this took place. Afterwards Willow ran like a champ, and we ended the day in Shippensburg, PA.
