Default New England tour

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine and I rode out to Maine from Chicago. We did 2800 miles in 5 days.

Here are some pictures from the trip.


Adirondack Mountains, up state New York



There's me, I'm high on twisties and lack of sleep



Brand new pavement in New York near the Vermont state line

Vivid, how the hell do you see your speedometer with that tank bag?

Or do you just not bother?

Great pics. Thanks!

I see it, on the 954, you sit up front on the tank.

Vivid,
I leave a week from Friday for Maine. A friend (Tuono rider) and I (919 rider) are heading up through KY, WV, PA, NY, etc. to Maine. Can you share any road information? Also, I'd love to know what that road is you said was best. Where in Maine did you go? We are planning on somewhere along the coast as a final destination.

I appreciate any help you can give.

Anna,
Got the info from your STN ride report. Sounds like a good trip and I think I may try and hit some of those same spots.
Thanks.
