The John F . Kennedy Library and Museum , designed by architect I . M . Pei , sits on Columbia Point in South Boston and was dedicated in 1979 .
THE SUN WAS SHINING , the day was warm and traffic minimal . It was like old times , traveling along Route 66 ( Massachusetts , not U . S .) into the Berkshire Hills , T-boning into Route 112 as it runs alongside the Westfield River , heading north to Worthington , then east on Route 143 through Chesterfield — all roads I was familiar with from riding my first motorcycle , an NSU 250 . Except this time I was on a Harley Electra Glide , rolling over what appeared to be the same frost heaves and around the same potholes that I knew in my teenage years .
I grew up mainly in Massachusetts , and always have a lot of people I would like to see . I like visiting the old haunts , and there are places I haven ’ t been to , so I arranged to pick up the Electra Glide from a Harley-Davidson Authorized Rental dealer near Boston .
