Best of New England - Roads, Accomodations, etc

Willie · Feb 8, 2011

One of the guys at New England Riders surveryed us NE'ers for the best roads, places to eat, accomodation, sites to see for motorcyclists. He (EasyEd) finally narrowed down the top 10 or so for each state and put together a very comprehensive resource page connected to the NER web page. For routes you can get a google map, MapSource file or a generic GPX file for instance.

So you travelers that might be coming to New England for a trip, ya just might want to take a look what he has put together. It truly is the best of New England put together by those that ride these roads every day.

I forgot something. On the google maps once you select one of the maps you have to use the back button to get it to load. It's a google thing.

Many thanks for the link to the resource. I will be putting that to good use on my ride out to CFR this year.

I was in the NE area July '09 so I had to look as I stumbled onto what I thought was the best meal I ever had - and it's restaurant #2 on the Maine list!

The Angler's @ Searsport is where I was, and I see there are actually 3 of them. I had a PILE of steamers, clams, one bigarse lobster, lobster chowder, and forget the rest but it was one dang good meal and I swear if I get back that way again (and I may this August) I'm gonna make a point of finding that place again!

I stayed @ the little motel in the background; you actually went into the restaurant to pay for the room/get the key, and get your ice for the room. Great setup, cheap room (~$50). I left there the next morning and did ~1200 miles to Columbus, OH which included the eastern portion of the Kancamagus Hwy on the way to the interstate. Great trip!

No FJR - didn't own it yet, did it on my HD; this trip helped convince me I needed a better LD bike...

That's excellent, thanks! We're planning a trip up the East coast this spring and this looks like a great tool to start planning with.

Willie, the S&T "Best Roads" file doesn't seem to open. Does it for anybody else? Do you know the guys that wrote it? Seems like a really cool way to have the trips planned out for starters.

I have 2 possible solutions or ideas. The S&T file was created with the 2006 version. You can not open the file with a version of S&T that is older than 2006.

The other solution I got, alot of times with S&T if you double click the file, which charges up S&T you may have problems successfully opening some files this way. Try opening S&T and select the file within S&T. A couple of people over at NER have successfully opened the file in question.

Hope this helps
