July 13, my buddy on his 83 Suzy gs1100g and me on my 85 Interstate took off for 6 days like we do every year we can. We only did a few minutes on the slab the whole time because of all the good roads around.
We did the Hawks Nest (rte 97)at the PA/NY border. You have to find the ROEBLINGS bridge from Lackawaxen,PA toMinisink Ford, New York,to cross where we did which we missed at first. There is only a SMALL sign pointing to it.
We did the 'KANC' in NH.(Rte 112) which is a mini blue ridge parkway (only 37 miles long vs 500 for the BRP), and had lots of bikes on it even on the weekday.
Did Smugglers Notch VT (rte 108) and RTE 100 which is beautiful in the fall. The road surface sucks now since the last time I was there which was about 10 years ago.
Also did up and down and around the Adirondacks in NY. You dont realize how steep some of the hills are until you see how much you have the throttle opened.
Here are two good places to stay.
Killington Motel - 1946 RT 4 - Killington, Vermont

Older motel but clean with very nice owner. He makes a really nice home made breakfast as part of the $68 fee for room with 2 beds. Would stay again without hesitation.
Shaheens motel
314 Park St, Tupper Lake, NY 12986

Again nice older motel that is clean with friendly owners. There were other bikers there and all thought it was a good place to stay.
Continental breakfast included in the $80 for room with 2 beds. Owners supplied clean rags to clean off the bikes too. Restaurant next door has excellent food. Again
would stay here again any time.
As usual best places to eat.. small local diners.
Anyways we had a blast and both old bikes ran great,6 days 3400klm
(sorry no pics as neither of us carry a camera any more)
