Join Buddy & Bob’s friends, family, fellow two and three wheeled scooterists, members of the press, and everyone from Piaggio HQ North America and their geoblog team to welcome our intrepid Lincoln Highway riders to the finish line at:

The Eastern Terminus of The Lincoln Highway
Times Square, New York City
The Northwest Corner
42nd Street & Broadway
1030hr ET

Buddy and Bob will display their Piaggio MP3’s until approximately 1130hr, when they will leave for a well deserved lunch at the vaunted Bond 45, so if you want to see Marcello and Sophia before they enter the Piaggio museum, don’t be late.
