Rodney, the Service Manager phoned us at 09.30 to say the  bike was ready for collection after its service.  Lovely chap and very helpful.

 

Riding through the streets of New York we noticed how the NYPD have

been reduced to driving round in golf carts:-)

 

 

A bustling Times Square with yellow cabs everywhere.

 

 

Riding through the back streets of China town and little Italy, looking at all the old buildings where in places time seems to have stood still. 

 

Looking at Ground Zero you can see Tower One on the right being built, which was originally known as the Freedom Tower but will now be known as One World Trade Center. When completed it will be 1776 ft high and will become the highest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third highest in the world.  The significance of the 1776ft is that it is the year of American Independence.

 

 

The new One World Trade Center. 

 

Partially built Tower 2 next to the start of Tower 3 which will be offices and part of the World Trade Center complex. Looking at how close everything is, you cannot begin to imagine how it was on that fateful day.

  

 

Riding out of New York along the River Hudson, we spotted the above which is open to the public.
