Oh the thrill of Americade! I love to see the assortment of bikes, big and small, some with luggage carriers, side cars or even customized trailers, as they drive down the road. Some travel in groups, some individually out to explore the beautiful countryside and open roads with this wonderful weather we have been having. I envy those with motorcycle GPS the most as they can take off with confidence and explore the area, looking for historic sites or just simply enjoying the beauty of nature here beside beautiful Lake George and throughout the Adirondacks.
Well, today we had quite a sudden storm with the sky opening up and dropping quite a deluge on all. I am certain that any cyclists caught on the road were especially glad their motorcycle GPS unit was waterproof at that time, or it would have been ruined for sure. Of course, I expect most have motorcycle GPS mounts so they were able to grab their GPS units and run for shelter until the storm passed. Now the rain has passed, the sun is peeking through, and I envy those cyclists again as they are back out on the open road enjoying the camaraderie of their friends and the beauty of nature all around them. Such a wonderful family type adventure must certainly be remembered for years to come and anticipated with relish from spring to spring.

Americade. You probably never heard of it, but it is the annual motorcycle rally which normally arrives in Lake George’s beautiful little resort town each year just after Memorial Day. What a sight to see cycle after cycle driving by. What a nice group of folks, mostly family types of all ages, on quite a variety of cycles. Some have three wheels, most have two. Some have side cars or little luggage trailers of amazing shapes and sizes.
While walking down the sidewalk admiring all these amazing cycles I began to notice how many had motorcycle mounts for their GPS devices. Most of the GPS units had been removed and carried off in pockets or purses to keep them safe of course, but there was quite an assortment of different motorcycle GPS mounts to be seen. It is easy to understand how folks who like the wind blowing on their faces would like the freedom of discovering new and varied roads and getting off the beaten track, but still wanting to be able to get back to their hotel or their homes reliably. Yup, it is time for the rest of the cyclists to look at the advantages of GPS units with bike mounts to feel even more carefree as they ride off into the unknown. Be safe, explore and enjoy the wind in your face on the open road.
Of all the reasons to buy a motorcycle, it’s the thrill of the open road that stands out most. Movies such as “Rebel without a Cause” and “Easy Rider” have served to reinforce the idea that motorcycles can free us from the constraints of everyday life – the routines, deadlines and mind-numbing predictability. That explains why so many people take up biking later in life; they feel an urge to shake things up and see parts of America from a whole new perspective.
Getting lost and exploring unfamiliar territory is part of the charm, of course, but it’s always best to have directions right at your fingertips. One might think that navigating a cross-country motorcycle trip would be a cake walk, but that’s only true if you stick to major highways. In case you decide to explore the back roads, a motorcycle GPS mount gives you a reliable means of returning to civilization.
