Work week #3: Another week in Detroit for Alex, a week in Madison, Wisconsin for Franzi, which is also known as “America’s Dairyland”. Wisconsin can show off with a lot of nature and a cozy capital. Franzi had some time to enjoy the nature and city of Madison after work. There are two lakes surrounding the city, especially Lake Mendota offers lovely scenery and a young atmosphere.
Getting back to New York was not so easy. After a 2-3 hours flight delay for both of us, Thursday was over once we got back home.
Friday was a very special day – we got to pick up our motorcycles!
Unfortunately, the entire experience at Triumph Brooklyn – a Triumph flagship store – was not too pleasant. After being ignored for almost one hour, we got a very short introduction to our new bikes and set off back home after making a short stop on a calm road near the East River so that Franzi could get familiar with her new and first own motorcycle ever.
For Alex the ride back home did not go that well. Right after taking off all warning lights came on. It was too late to go back to Triumph, but a friendly employee who gave us his private number to arrange a joint ride one day, told Alex to continue his ride and come back the next day.
Back in the East Village we tugged away the bikes in our garage and had a celebratory dinner at Frank. Especially Alex needed a wine and some homemade pasta to forget about the warning lights on his new bike! We can really recommend the Penna alla Vodka, the Rigatoni al Ragu and the Burrata.
Luckily the guys from Triumph took the shot for their Instagram account before the hassle with Alex bike began…
