East time

Twelve more days left until I've gota return the motorcycle to Queens NY, I intended to enjoy these days to the fullest 

Lior and I had to decide whether to continue south east to Washington DC or north east to NY.
After speaking to my uncle and aunt I've decided to take their advice and skip Washington, 

we started our morning in Indiana after losing another hour due to the timezone change, it's funny but in the past month I've passed 3 time zones I'm glad to finally arrive at the eastern time zone.

Our goal for the day was to reach Cleveland a 250 miles ride nothing fancy we're used to cover such mileage, but to make things more interesting we've decided to avoid the major highways and keep to the small roads, usually we'll hit the highways, toll roads to simply kill distance, 
it's quite boring riding on these major roads, when you stick to the country roads you get to see all sort of small towns and farms.

The weather was cool with gray skies but luckily no rain, we actually passed by some Amish folks riding they're carriages, after about a hundred miles Lior all of a sudden pulls to the shoulders, after removing his helmet he announce  "I've got another flat tire", I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Not again I was thinking to myself!

At least this time we're well prepared to deal with a flat both of us got a flat kit back in Utah! Looking at the rear tire we spotted the nasty nail right at the center of the tire, pulling it out we couldn't believe how long it was!, Ok time to see what these kits are worth, first up my kit which is simply a sticky string your suppose to fill the hole by sliding the string in, fingers crossed… no good, we could still hear air leaking, so we had to turn to Lior's arrow head kit, we got the hole plug on our third try but still there was a small leak at least we could make it to a bike shop where we could replace the tire, luckily for us there was a Honda dealership right down the road! We got the tire replaced in no time and continued on to Cleveland.

Tomorrow we should be getting to Buffalo NY, I've finally made it.
