Day 20,
Today we drove from York to Newburgh NY. First off before we left York we did the Harley Factory tour. This is the factory where all the Touring, Softail & CVO models are made. It was very interesting to see the Guards and Tanks pressed from flat pieces of steel then trimmed etc. The tank halves then welded together and pressure checked. We also saw the making of the frames and the Painting of all the pieces. We could not actually see the assembly line as it had 2014 model bikes on it and they are to be released on Sunday, so if we had come next Monday this would have also been included in the tour. This however was covered in a video. Even Linda thought it was very interesting. We then made our way to Newburgh along the back roads trying to see some Amish people. We spotted a couple farming with horses and also a couple travelling along in their Horse and Buggies. Linda fitted in another Doctors visit along the way so she could get some more antibiotics for her bronchitis.
Went out for tea at OCC Cafe (Orange County Choppers, American Chopper TV Show) and had a great meal. Driving to New York tomorrow and hand back the car in Manhatten.
