Motorcycle Journeys Through New England

This latest edition of the acclaimed motorcyclists' guide to touring the New England area offers more suggested routes than ever along with fully updated listings of motorcycle friendly lodgings and great out-of-the-way restaurants. The author leads two-wheeled travelers through the twisties to scenic, intriguing destinations in six key regions: the rugged Maine coast, the high notches of the White Mountains, the lush gaps of the Green Mountains of Vermont, the lakes region of upstate New York, the rolling Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts, and the coastal areas of Rhode Island and Connecticut. Among the routes are favorite roads like Vermont's Route 100, or the Lake George area near the New York-Vermont border (site of the hugely popular Americade rally that attracts some 25,000 touring motorcyclists each June). Altogether, Berke has carefully plotted 24 trips for motorcyclists, most of them taking one day to complete. Each trip includes a detailed map and specific route directions. The trips are designed to accommodate various riding styles and audiences, from two-up travelers sightseeing, to sport riders riding the curves.
