New York Motorcycle Roads and Trips

The Taborton Loop (Apr 08)

… sweeping hills that give great vistas at the top ... after you get into 42 though, hold on to your panties kids! Tons of twisties and negative-G roller hills where your butt lifts off the seat a bit. Many twisties are marked as 20 mph, so that should give you a clue

Adirondack Lake Loop (Apr 08)

… great ride, it makes between +/- 4 hours of riding, and if you're looking to make a day trip out of it, you can stop at Ft. Ticonderoga, or rent a boat on Schroon Lake to go tubing or waterskiing or etc

Cherry Valley Turnpike - US 20 (Aug 07)

… takes you through some of the most picturesque landscape in all of New York state. Farms, hills, Windmills, and lakes … this ride travels through small towns with very little traffic … we heard the Auto Museum in Saratoga Springs had a vintage motorcycle show going on, so off we went. The ride was worth the trip, though. The town is lovely!

Lake George to Saratoga Springs (Jun 07)

… the Auto Museum in Saratoga Springs had a vintage motorcycle show going on - the ride was worth the trip and the town is lovely! The ride itself wanders along a river and Lake sides … very pretty and quiet ride

Lake George into the Adirondack State Park &
Museum (Jun 07)

The Ilion Gorge Run (Mar 07)

Route 54A - The Beautiful Keuka Lake Road (Feb 07)

… a great ride right along the shores of Keuka Lake … scenery along Keuka Lake is one of the best views of wine country in the State … a lot of nice restaurants along this side of the lake & boat rentals are available

Route 14: Horseheads to Watkins Glen (Jul 05)

Seaway Trail (Dec 04)

… the 504-mile Seaway Trail along the freshwater shorelines of St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, Niagara River, and Lake Erie ... a great vacation ride ... including Niagara Falls, 1000 Islands, 28 lighthouses allow you to climb the towers for spectacular water views

Spooky Sleepy Hollow Three Day Tour (Nov 07)

… “I can't count the landmarks for this trip. However, you'll get a bumper crop of scenic vistas, farmland, cows, covered bridges, mountain views, antique shops, and Colonial and Revolutionary War Sites on, or near this trip."

Catskill Preserve (Sep 06)

… "This is a long ride so make a day of it and enjoy. We did this route by buying a local map and trying to get lost. We spent a couple days doing this method and found nothing but great roads and awesome scenery. I recommend you try this too."

The 100 Mile Hudson River Bridge Tour (Jun 99)

… this ride covers the gorgeous Hudson River Valley crossing many impressive bridges along the way and hugging the river … see some historic estates owned by famous people - the guy that wrote “Rip Van Winkle” and the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow”
