Owned a Summer Seasonal up there mid 80's-mid 90's when I was in my 20's. Cruised around on my 87 Honda CBR1000F Hurricane & my 87 IROC 5.7. Great memories and good times up there. Including Oxford Plains Speedway Amateur Night on Friday evenings. Great times and people up there Brother!!

It was the summer of 1989, I was 25 years old. I was rode my 1988 fj1200 from Glace Bay nova Scotia to Ol Orchard beach. My best memories of the entire trip was eating pizza and drinking a couple beers on the boardwalk chanting, USA, USA. Not to mention the girl who worked at I believe it was called the powder horn campground. She gave me a ride in the golf cart to my campsite. Sweet.

Never stop sharing the real talks, Old Orchard Beach pier looks pretty special especially being perched right at the end overlooking the ocean.

We might have even passed each other back in the 80s. I was a lobsterman for thirty two years and the place we went out of is not too far from there. So, considering that I'm in Northeast Brazil and came here in 95 on a swordfishing boat is wonderful to see you guys enjoying your selves at my old stomping grounds. We've been in Brazil for eight years now. My words of wisdom is, 'don't take your health for granted, because you never know what can happen in the future.' Keep going north, check out Harpswell Maine, you'll love it there!

Good convo between Sr. and Jr. about who you hang around with and their effects on your life. Actually, Jr. shared an outstanding pearl of wisdom! "Sometimes ya gotta roll the dice!" Absolutely! Sometimes you've gotta take chances in life and just go for it if it's something that you really want! Maybe you win, maybe you lose, but you'll never know which one until you try! Like you did with your computer biz, Sr., and starting the museum and restoration biz. Nothing is ever certain, but you have to go for it otherwise you'll just never know if you could've had what you really wanted or dreamed of.

I've never dipped the microdots, Brother. Lol ..The shit always scared me to death. I like to be as mentally sharp as possible. I'll let other be the laboratory rats and take the liquid blotter, and then I'll just pray for them. Nothing good ever comes about living in the fast lane, when the end result comes. Nobody Rides For Free In Life. A person can't realistically expect to live like a rockstar for years, abusing their bodies on a daily basis, and expect to walk away unscathed, without having some sort of health problems, or psychiatric problems. The level of maturity, success, and insight that Junior has, at the age of 22 is not only impressive and inspirational, it's a rarity these days. He learned from The Best. Ken Sr. Like my Grandmaw always said, If you go to bed with dogs, you're gonna wake up with fleas. God Bless Brother!

Great video of one of my all time favorite vacation spots. Been coming up here since I was 7 years old (55 now),and it never gets old. Agreed with you about Big Licks too, Wife and I agreed it was just "Meh". If you wanna try some excellent Ice Cream head 10 minutes over to Scarborough and try out The Dairy Corner. Much better Ice Cream and many choices too. While you're there swing next door to the Blast from the Past 50's style Diner. Excellent food with good portions and more than reasonably priced.

One of my favorite spots Ken! You have wonderful taste in the places you like to visit! I live in Queensbury next to Lake George can’t wait to meet you in junior next year for sure and see the rig. Can’t believe how well Junior is doing at 22 years old and you got a remember who taught him these things you’re a good man and well spoken dad I see nothing but great success in your many years to come as well as juniors. Like you had mentioned rather than getting together and boozing and drugging Get together and focus on how to make your future better and brighter unfortunately when I got to the Y and the road I didn’t go down the best one but at 29 with a fiancé and a 2 1/2 year-old son life has changed for the better. I think you need to start a podcast man it helps myself And many other people who could use the positivity and share your knowledge! I’ve got a 2015 Yamaha Fz-09 that I keep pristine! This was a really good video thanks for sharing🤘🤘🤘
