Have a great safe trip!

+1 great riding roads through lots of scenic areas / National Forests...Small towns will slow you up but unless you're in a hurry much better than the Interstate.Wellsboro must have been one of the old time diners I saw,there's 2 or 3 along the way.Careful for oncoming cars & trucks going too fast & drifting over the center line on tight curves

What area of NY, if you have a game plan of the areas you want to travel to, I can suggest some real nice back roads through PA. I just rode up through the finger lake in NY up into Canada. There is a lot to see and enjoy in PA.

Dido on Primanti Bros. a must eat when in the burgh (gotta get the cheese steak).
