Im originally from Long Island .. but never really rode New England. I and a buddy did NY, VT, VT, NH, ME .. a little MA and PA also. These maps made things VERY easy. Ive been in NC for about 22 years now.
Do yourself a favor man .. trust me. Get one of these. It will give you so much to ride you wont know what to choose AND you will know where your going before you get here .. you know .. instead of .. "Where the h3ll are and where are we going? http://www.snowmobilenystores.com/Mo...lina_p_16.html
I have been on about 90% of these roads at least once. My group and I are 20 to 30k a year riders. We are always up there for day rides.. 4 to 6 hundred mile days are normal for us during the summer months. Anything near the VA, TN, NC borders is good riding is the sweet stuff. GA and SC and KY are good too. The image below shows what the map looks like opened.
All rides are color coded and all dealerships are noted too.
A few words of advice :
Watch out for dub yella crossers. Some of these roads are extremely tight
Be ready for crap in the road ... animals; dead and alive, gravel, big chunks of rock.
Use the little boys room when you can .. obviously you can pull over to the side of the road .. some of these roads are VERY rural.
One of you carrying a spot in case of trouble wouldnt hurt. Cell service isnt always available .. again depending on where you are.
FInally .. if you need gas ... dont wait for the next one. Again .. there may not be one in close proximity depending where you are.
It's a do once kind of thing ... big deal
what's so great about off camber turns, other bikes crossing the yellow, vehicles travelling the road that shouldn't be there (manly trucks) etc etc
Ride it... get your shirt .. say goodbye.
Very many better roads ..
