After leaving Washington we headed to Philadelphia, not for any sightseeing but to go to a motorcycle accessories shop that Greg has been checking out on line for the last few months. RevZilla was on the north side of the city and really easy to find. After trying on several jackets, we both walked out with new ones as well as a bracket to hold the phone on the bike. We drove back to New Jersey to drop off the car. We caught the train into Manhattan and walked...

After a lap of the main in Ocean Beach we set the GPS for Washington DC. We have visited here before but because we find ourselves chased north by Hurricane Matthew we decided that another visit to the Nation's capital was the solution to keeping safe. The drive was wet all the way so we hunkered down in our hotel and generally relaxed. We woke on Sunday to find that Fayetteville, where we had stayed on Wednesday night, was underwater from Hurricane Matthew which...

We left Fayetteville after getting a motorbike fix. Greg had spoken to his friend Google and discovered a dealership that was not Harley! We spent a while wandering through the shop which sold Ducati, Triumph, Honda and Suzuki. We then went to check out an accessories shop as well. Greg was tempted by a new summer jacket but he didn't like how it fitted so we walked out empty handed - not like us at all! We had seen a sign to Fort Bragg Army Base s...

You might have expected that this entry would be from Charleston, South Carolina - after all, that is where we said we were going. When we woke up this morning it was to news that Hurricane Matthew had devastated the Bahamas, Haiti and Cuba and was headed towards us! After Smart Traveller alerts to evacuate the coastal areas of Georgia and South Carolina we packed our bags and headed out of Savannah. Originally for this trip we intended to travel south to New Orl...

Originally we had Nashville and Memphis on our planned itinerary, but as you would know if you have read some of our other blogs we tend to change our plans as we go. After speaking to people we have met on our travels we decided to ditch Tennessee and head for Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina. Apparently both are worthy of a visit. On the way to Savannah, the ever eagle-eyed Kerrie spied a spot we thought was worth a visit, Battleship Memorial P...
