tyler524 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 So I am considering taking off tomorrow and just riding towards the east coast or something. I don't really want to plan a destination but just take off and go and end up wherever. I have always wanted to do this and I am off work until Wednesday. I am not sure yet if I am going to go or not, guess I will just decide in the morning. I figure if I go I will just grab a room at night and ride during the day. Has anyone else ever done this or anything like it? It is something that I want to do and have always skipped out on before for one reason or another.

Jcarlson Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I've never done it on two wheels but rather on four. Go for it man!! It cleanses the soul. Neil Peart, the drummer from RUSH did it a number of years ago after his wife and daughter were died. He needed some headspace so he took off on his BMW. He rode 50,000 miles across the US Mexico and Canada.I don't think you want to go quite that far but get out there man. There is so much to this country besides beaches and hotels that people need to see.If you want to see America, stay off the highways as much as possible. Go Old Skool and take State routes and National routes. The small towns are where it's at.If you happen to make it into upstate New York, you've got to ride through Letchworth State Park. It's the Grand Canyon of the East. 17 miles of twists and turns, three waterfalls and awesome views. I practically grew up there. It's a sight to be seen.http://www.letchworthpark.com/Also hit the Watkins Glenn area in NY too.http://www.watkinsglenchamber.com/These places are in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Some of the most beautiful scenary you'll ever see!!Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjettman Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 If you are going through NY, stop in Rochester at the Dinosaur. Best BBQ you will find and its very biker friendly, even for sportbikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
