Several posts ago I wrote an article about the wife and I trying to decide where to take our “motorcycle vacation”. I called it “Where Oh Where do we go ride?”, well now we know! We are going to tour New England on our motorcycle.
It took a while but we settled on touring the Northeastern states via the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and Niagara Falls. We are not going to be in any big hurry so as we travel along we will stop at anything that catches our attention. We are planning to stop and visit Lake Placid (home of the Olympics), Mount Washington and Bar Harbor, Maine.
We are also going to make sure we get to every New England state. That way we can check them off our motorcycle touring map!
So in a few weeks you should start seeing post about our motorcycle vacation. If you have any thoughts about places/things or roads that we should consider drop them in the comments below. New England is not an area either of us have been to before.
One of my most favorite places in MA is Bearskin Neck in Rockport, MA. I’ve been there countless times since my youth, and I never tire of it. Fresh steamed lobster on the pier, and its a beautiful, scenic village. There’s something about the smell of the ocean air, good food, and art shops on a sunny day there. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g41790-d3476278-Reviews-Bearskin_Neck-Rockport_Cape_Ann_Massachusetts.html. Might also check out the Old Port Festival in Portland, ME. https://www.portlandmaine.com/old-port-festival/.
Not sure we will make it to rockport… but Portland for sure!!! Although that Bearskin Neck looked cool!
Looks like a great route!
When in Bar Harbor, be sure to set aside time to visit Acadia National Park, at least one full day, two is better. You won’t be disappointed. Nice trip, New England is beautiful.
