Motorcycle Journeys Through New England: 4th Edition

I have a lot of resources, maybe too many: specialized motorcycle maps and New England Riders website, for example. This book was my go-to for a recent week-long trip to northern VT and NH. (I live in MA.) Lovely routes and great descriptions.

Easy reading, and full of little tidbits that will make your cruising more interesting.

We purchased this book to help plan a ride through New England. It is very detailed and provided us some great ideas and information.

the rides seem very interesting, can't wait for the weather to warm up to give it a live tryout.

The book is written with the idea of helping a tourer new to the area. It assumes the rider will choose a "base camp" somewhere in New England, and will then go on "day trips" from the base camp to the surrounding area. It's probably pretty good for that kind of rider.But that wasn't me. I was trying to plan a trip from my home (North-Central Massachusetts) to a specific destination (Mt. Washington). It was to be my brother's first time riding in New England, and I wanted to show him the sights via "the long way." I guess I could have taken bits and pieces of Mr. Aiken's rides and put them together for our tour, but that would have been a very tedious job. Instead, I got an old-fashioned paper road map of the area and traced our route over the "wiggliest" roads. We had a great time.

Great tours in New England.

I use this and other books for inspiration and planning for my many tours. It provides maps and information on various must visit destinations.
