vegas style

top of the rock pics

Went into manhattan this evening. waited tell after rush hour grabbed a NJ bus right outside the hotel and 15 minutes later was walking out of the port authority building. headed up thru the theater district and into time square. just as it was getting dark. stood in the middle took some pictures had a stranger take my picture and i took one for he and his wife. i would say 75% of the people i was around were europe. not much english being spoken around there. i didnt stay long it was a way crowded Friday summer night. i did hit up a street vender for hot dog yum. i was headed to the rockefeller center top of the rock observation deck. that is so cool i spent 2 hours up there taking pictures chatting with people and for a long while just staring out looking at the city lights. the empire state building is 10 blocks away (might try going up there tomorrow depending on the line) looks so cool lit up in red white and blue lights. i took 90 pics and 15 minutes of video tonight got some great shots. more tomorrow when i head over for the day im going to staten island ferry and statue of liberty. also going to go to ground zero for a minute. the last and only other time i have been to NYC was a month after 9-11 the old national airline had a $75 round trip offer when they were trying to get NY and the airlines going again. i had a good trip that time but i also spent a lot of time in lower manhattan and saw first hand the destruction so i dont think im going to hang around down there this time. so here are a few pics for now

sure would like to see the aftermath. wonder if the driver got hurt. looks like the truck gets crushed pretty good

isnt the hemi a heavy iron block motor?

its the only one i have with me i plan on taking a few more pics of it on things then i will stick it somewhere most likely in the subway somewhere. be funny if someone logs on after seeing it and reads this thread

at this point i will be home around sept 20. but there is some talk about more work on this show after this run. not sure if i would do it if it was offered but im a hoar for the $$$$ this humidity sucks but its not going to be any better in Louisiana where we are headed.....

Im out on the road for work (for 3 months) this week and next in New Jersey near giants stadium. im not a hugh baseball fan and i have been known to rout against the yankees. but this is the last season for the old yankee stadium (the new one is across the street). i picked up a great ticket on stubhub this morning. behind the plate straight down the 3rd base line. i could hear the catchers glove when he caught pitches! so after work today i headed out... bus trip thru Lincoln tunnel at rush hour to the port authority walked a block over to time square and caught a subway train to grand central station and then the uptown express to yankee stadium. awesome night very humid but there was a nice beeze NY won 5-0 over the tampa rays. walked around and took some picture talked to a bunch of people had a hotdog and a beer or 2. then did the trip back to the hotel in NJ. the transit system here rocks the subways are old but they are clean and fast. going to head back over to manhattan this weekend and do the tourist thing. second time i have been here and i have a list of place to go. so i will update this so all you bored offseason DDR people have something new to read for a minute or two.....

sorry to hear that jill hate getting hurt over nothing......

did i see a pic of monkie holding a child?

sorry you had to see that. were there very many people out there? dunes are so different in the summer you cant ride them the same as winter.

waiting to see bob's slowmo video

pete the pepperoni pimp you holding out on pepperoni :no_no: dont make him pimp slap ya down

that henderson police car almost got tagged with a ddr sticker

stripper stories, the "other site", everyone that wasnt there and everything in between to name a few.........

yea ill burn some fuel come down i think anyone from the n.w. side want a ride??

south pole- tecopa- north pole run

im addicted it used to say so in my sig. but im not the most addicted by far :freakin_nuts: by the way 6no 20yes 70% say warrior07 is :stir:

im sure he is talking about the meadows and yes you can ride right from there onto the dunes. just dry camping in a dirt lot it is a small space so getting there late will make it tough to find a spot. nice area there is a big sand trail area right out of camp on the top of the hill to the left. if you look up the memorial day trip report you can see pics and a map to the meadows

freak is the pres of DDR inc. :freakin_nuts: warrior is just content :shout: ...... we are going to run pete right off this site what a shame he is a nice guy

i was going to vote for you warrior but if you cant even work the poll i will have to reconsider

i keep thinking of how cool it was to ride at sunrise. the sunbeams shadows and smooth sand :beer_bang: i have never been up that early at dumont...... been still up at that hour :fro_smokin: but in no shape to ride and enjoy the sunrise

scam

artic cat thing looks like fun somewhere between a rzr and a rhino with lots of power

so is there a new truck in your future ? or are you getting something sporty for your new florida lifestyle???
