Indian Roadmaster Tour | NY Catskill Mountains Rides | Home Front Cafe! 🇺🇸

Lucille! People have been asking for more details on our Indian Roadmaster, so here it is! We finally share the details of Lucille as well as all of Chad’s modifications and upgrades. She’s been modified from air cleaner to exhaust and almost everywhere in the middle and we go over all of that!
We also go on a couple of rides in the New York Catskills. We had no idea upstate New York was so beautiful! The second ride was on the 4th of July 2018 to a little place Chad picked out for lunch called the Home Front Cafe. Little did we know how perfect this place would be for the 4th of July! So much American Military memorabilia! The place was covered with old photos, news stories, uniforms, etc. All with classic WWII era music and amazing food!
One of the cafe’s centerpieces is a flag made by a WWII POW who was forced to walk as a prisoner in the Bataan Death March. He made the flag in defiance of his captors using a window shade and stolen inks from the laundry, hiding it under the floorboards at night. It’s an amazing story, and very emotional to see it in person. Well worth a trip if you’re ever in the area (links below).

Don't quite know where to start ... My wife and I have been subscribers of your channel for some months now and are thoroughly enjoying your travels. This tour was of particular interest since you were camping in the Catskills (about an hour south of where I grew up) and thought I might catch a glimpse or two of something I recognized. When you drove past the Alcove Reservoir, it brought back memories of early childhood fishing trips with my Dad and brother. At time code 16:38, you paused at a sign that told me you were heading toward familiar places. Then you drove past ‘Superior Oil’ and I knew you were in Clarksville, where my Grandparents had lived for decades. The scenery and sights all brought back memories from there. But the biggest surprise came at the next town you featured, New Salem. Of the hundreds of homes in that village, you showed only a handful in your video. Unbelievably, the last house that you featured (at 17:32) was my childhood home! It’s the yellow two-story sitting right next to the road (I know, really close). Our family lived there for more than 20 years. Altamont, about seven miles down the road, is a beautiful little town where many friends live. Thank you for showing so much of the Home Front Café. Will have to visit next time our travels take us back to upstate New York (we’ve lived in Kentucky for the past decade). For the ‘cherry on top’, you headed back up the mountain and on your way back and stopped at the Thacher Park scenic overlook, showing the very spot where I proposed to my wife nearly 38 years ago. We plan to join you both on the road in a couple years, creating new stories and memories. If we can work out a toy hauler, my ‘girlfriend’ will come along as well … keep safe out there!

[@ChangingLanes]

Wow! Talk about a small world and coincidence! Thank you so much for sharing that with us! Welcome to our channel, Steve, and thanks for following our adventures! 😊 Safe travels!

So cool y'all went to the Home Front. I live nearby, they do a lot for the Veterans in the community!

[@carlsurma8549]

Love this video Chad and Tara! Found your site by accident and I'm locked in watching everything you have. My house will be paid off in three years, I will be 66 years old. Because of your shows I will be purchasing a camper like yours. Have a motorcycle already looking now for a golf cart to complete my garage. My home will be my base, I will continue to work where I'm at. My plan is to start with week vacations to different locations to get a feel of it all before I fully retire. Thanks Guys for being out there and giving me a good taste of my dreams! Love Ya! ❤️. Keep on Changing Lanes

[@ChangingLanes]

That's a great plan! Good luck! 😀

[@ApartmentB]

Love the motorcycle footage! I also love how you have done videos in NY not NYC but NY!

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

OMG! That Home Front Cafe looked so awesome. Thanks for sharing that! We love places like that.

[@ChangingLanes]

It was an awesome random find on the 4th of July! 🇺🇸

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

My bday! This year the big 50!

[@ChangingLanes]

Nice! Had my 50th (this is chad) in Key West last Dec. So strange... I used to think 50 was so damn old! LOL

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

Changing Lanes I know right! 50 is nothing now! I feel same as I did at 17 (mentally that is) LOL

[@GARamblinMan]

New subscriber here and I have to tell you - I have watched a lot of motovlogs over the years and this may be the best one I have ever seen. You captured exactly why so many of us love motorcycles and the trips we take. Beautiful views of New York, gorgeous girlfriend you have there and your motorcycle isn’t too bad either. Thanks for the video and you two ride safe.

[@ChangingLanes]

Welcome to our channel, GA Ramblin Man! Thanks for following our adventures! 😊 Safe travels!

[@mikep.541]

Great video. Thatcher park brought back great memories. Since you folks are food/ride oriented, might I suggest Marsha’s in North Creek. Great home cooking. Breakfast and lunch only. They aren’t open for supper. The “Creek” is about 45 minutes from Lake George on 28 west out of Warrensburg. While there, do the 28N loop through Minerva.

[@robertlowe1249]

FIRST TIME SUBSCRIBER, LOVE YOUR VIDEO, GREAT FUN

[@ChangingLanes]

Welcome to our channel, Robert! Thanks for following our adventures! 😊

[@Slvrtibgt07]

Stumbled across your channel today. Only clicked because it said Catskill mountains. I grew up minutes from where you guys were staying and have spent a lot of time in the surrounding areas you visited. It was kind of cool to see it through the eyes of tourists. A lot of those areas look a lot better through the camera. Lol

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for watching, Vince! Hope you check out the rest of our videos! 😊

[@jimtomstimpson1477]

so glad I found this channel. The wife and I have the exact same bike. Ride safe! Enjoy the miles.

[@ChangingLanes]

Then you, sir, have great taste in bikes! 😎 Welcome to our channel! 😊

[@marketshare5273]

Excellent video incredible editing. 👊👍😎

[@pittsleysotr]

Love your bike and the ride videos you make.

[@bretrobison5529]

I started following you two a few months ago as I have thought of doing a couple of years of full time RV with retirement coming up. Like you, we have a touring motorcycle (2005 GoldWing) that is part of the plan. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I see a lot of work and talent in your videos and the information shared. Like you Chad, I am former military, having spent 15 years in the US Navy. If you are going to be visiting Western NY/Finger Lakes region again, maybe a ride is in order. Enjoy your travels!!!!

[@ChangingLanes]

Welcome to our channel! 😊 Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸

[@billleslie2251]

Thanks. Great ride video.

[@BeautyandTheBeastRV]

We have an Indian Roadmaster too - can’t wait to show hubby your mods 😍

[@jimweagant8920]

Another good video thanks for sharing

[@jayleav]

Wow what a great video. You tow do some really good work.

[@danharrington2976]

Thanks for posting the video. I live in nearby Massachusetts and travel all the roads you showed frequently on my Stratoliner and my V Strom. Can't quite afford an Indian yet. Watching a July ride in March was very enjoyable.

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for watching, Dan! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊

[@jeffhennings6015]

Nice video guys love be the Indian been thinking of one myself ride safe can't wait till spring

I will do that. You just gained another sub.

[@rvninnorthcarolina3377]

Another excellent video

[@shawna441]

Love watching you two the scenery was beautiful and of course your girlfriend Lucille is to! Thanks for sharing!

[@waynesiminski8268]

That restaurant was truly incredible. I live in NY State. Definitely have to make that a destination ride. Had never heard of it till you showed us. My Dad was a WWII vet, my wife’s Dad was a Korean War vet. We have 3 Air Force vet Son’s. Am also a Ride Captain in Patriot Guard Rides, so military is very true to our hearts. We would love that place. Thanks. Happy camping and safe riding.

[@ChangingLanes]

Yes... you will love it! Food is excellent too! Thanks for watching! 😃

[@travelingadventuresonwheel5493]

Nice video. There are a lot of really nice areas upstate New York and the Catskills are certainly one of them.

[@ChangingLanes]

We were pleasantly surprised! 😁

[@magicdaveable]

Nice to see you riding in the mountains where I grew up. The Catskills are truly the most beautiful region in the U.S. If you live here year round tolerating cold and lits of snow is a part of it.

[@ChangingLanes]

We still chose to run away from the cold! 🥶 😊

[@outlaw10adventures90]

Awesome video guys...Travis

[@2169scs]

Fun on an Indian Roadmaster, life is good!

[@regalka1]

Great video, even if I'm partial to Harleys (lol)! Love the riding videos as well as the RV ones. Keep up the great work, you two!l

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks, Ron!!! 😎

[@michaelbrown3731]

Another great video. I particularly enjoyed the Home Front Cafe part, and y’all obviously enjoyed eating there. Therefore, I highly recommend that y’all visit Fredericksburg, Texas when you pass through Texas again. It is a wonderful town with lots of history and a lot of neat shops and wineries . I’ve lost count, but I think there are 29-30 wineries along the highway between Johnson City and Fredericksburg. Probably the highlight of Fredericksburg is the Pacific War Museum. Since Chad is an old Navy man, I know he would love it. The entry ticket is good for two days, and you can easily spend that much time there. Fredericksburg: good food, good wine, fun shops, and the Pacific War Museum. You won’t regret going there.

[@johnathanraney9959]

Sweet bike! We are going full time soon but unfortunately I'll have to give up my Harley. Bought a class A and going to tow a car. Oh well, eventually we'll get another bike. For now we'll have to live vicariously through your riding videos. Happy camping and ride safe!

[@ChangingLanes]

Have you looked into the Hydralift? hydralift-usa.com/motorhome-lift-2/

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

Love it! Now Alli and I are thinking maybe getting a bike in the future for when we are full timing.

[@ChangingLanes]

It's a great way to get out and explore! 😎 Thanks for following our advenures! 😊

[@bill-chichi9701]

Nice bike, nice upstate NY tour.

[@DrRodder84]

3yrs later... been following uou longer than 3 yrs, but some how this missed me. Love Fuel Moto. Run their stuff here too on Amber (my H-D Touring Bike). Living in Wisc, the home of Fuel Moto, I've also been out with the owners older brother (a biker & hot rodder). Biker Bob as his internet stuff goes (also in upper Wisc.). Cool bike mods. The riding videos is what drew me into Changing Lanes, but the RV stuff is also of interest as I too run a TH. Keep up on the rides when you can and hooe Lucille can make it up/down the cabin drive on her own.

[@martyshepherd5887]

Awesome video! I came across it by chance loved the scenery on your rides. I purchased a 2018 Roadmaster last December and love it more every time I ride her so I totally understand your relationship with your girlfriend. Safe travels and safe riding!

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel.. 😊

[@The_Arby]

Nice video you guys :-) Nice to see Lucille :-)

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Great video guys! Thanks for sharing more about Chad's girlfriend - she's a beaut! We enjoyed the scenery on your rides. Loved to here the history of the cafe and flag. We love the music you use it fits you guys perfectly.

[@chadonken6215]

Love the video. Just bought a 2016 RM.

[@kristopheredwards4332]

Another great video. You guys should let us know when you are passing through East Tennessee. As I am sure you already know, the riding here is breathtaking. Would love to go for a ride together. I installed my Crotch Cooler the other day and can't imagine riding without one now.

[@ChangingLanes]

Crotch cooler and get rid of that catalytic converter and it's a whole new bike! 😊 Love riding in the Smokies!

[@navcop33]

Great video. Beautiful bike.

She is a beautiful ride. Obviously you take really good care of her.

[@ml4102]

Great video. I love the bike and your ride in the Catskills. That's my neck of the woods.. LOL Next time your in NY you should check out Bethel and take in a concert at the Woodstock site It's amazing. This year is their 50th anniversery. The Woodstock museum, at the site is really great as well.

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for the recommendations, Linda! Visiting the Woodstock site sounds awesome! 😎🏍

[@johndolezal310]

Thank you!

[@rmk1283]

Super cool cafe! Love war history and memorabilia. If you are ever in the Pensacola area, you have to visit the Navy base and the Air Museum. The lighthouse has just undergone millions of dollars in restoration and is awesome to climb to the top. Let me know if you two are ever in the area! Keep up the cool videos.

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for the tip! 😊

[@davidoverholt251]

Chad, thank you for your military service!!!!! You two are always welcome in my house if you want to see the Rock n Roll hall of fame in Cleveland, Ohio.!

[@randyrainwater983]

Very nice. We miss our Goldwings when we pull our Airstream.

[@davidalan8138]

Just found your channel. Great video and new sub here! I have a 16 Chieftain with many of the same engine mods, plus custom dyne tune by an expert Indian/Victory technician here in the NE. I installed a RM seat for my copilot when I bought it and she loves the comfort. We ride with friends of ours that live in upstate NY, and ride over to NH and up toward the Canuck border. Love your RV Trailer and that sweet FORD truck too. Ride safe, Ride often.

[@ChangingLanes]

Welcome to our channel! 😊 Keep the shiny side up!

[@larryambrose5078]

Wow, I really enjoy your videos! Nice Indian for sure. I ride a Harley Street Glide and a Road King. Last year did a 10,400 mi tour from So Cal to DC, NY, Vermont, NH, Maine, etc. I built a trailer for my 2 Girls, a Lab and a mix, 80 lbs each, that I pull behind my Road King. We tent camp most of the time when touring and do mostly backroads, small hwys, and byways. I call it "Hoggin N' Doggin". Ride On!!!

[@ChangingLanes]

That sounds awesome! Except the tent camping part. 😜 Keep the shiny side up and thanks for watching!

[@stevenmiller5690]

Nice work! You two are so informative in all your vids! Question, what did you get at the Beer Universe? I look forward to your next post!
