July 17-19th

Leaving in a small convoy on the 17th at approx. 3:30am. We are heading to the Canadian side of Niagara and will be staying at a hotel by the falls until sunday AM when we make our return trip. Anyone else interested in joining?

 

I'm sure I need not tell you about 495..it can be a little dangerous that time of the morning but you won't be on it much anyway....Not sure why but I've run across a lot more crap then usual in that stretch of road early morning between Lowell and Lawrence..Everthing from furniture to building supplies to just plain garbage just lying on road...Not a lot of road kill though..

Have a safe ride

 

ya most of us wont even be touching 495. We have a neutral meeting area in winchester and will be heading towards i-90 and going straight across into NY. Thanks for the heads up though

 

I'm actually doing the same trip the following weekend. We're doing a stop at Ithaca along the way, and avoiding I-90 in Mass (heading thru NH and VT instead).

 

Nice nice. We just finally booked a place to stay. Very nice and very affordable if your traveling with a small group

It's just me and my wife for this trip, and she isn't having any part of camping. We haven't booked a room yet, but I'm thinking of getting one on the Canadian side.

I-90 is long and boring, so I'm trying to pick a route that has a mix of back roads and highway. So far, I'm planning to avoid going into Mass altogether and cutting across southern NH and VT to Albany. Still trying to determine what to do from that point.

Let us know how the trip goes and if there are any must see places that we should hit up. I know we're planning to get authentic Buffalo wings while we're there.

 

Niagara-on-the-Lake & the area is pretty nice.

 

We made that trip a few years ago, and stayed at the Marriott overlooking the Falls. Not cheap, but not outrageous. We looked right down on the falls from our room. Plus, they let us Park our bikes under the awning, next to the valet station. Score.

 

Looks like a great trip in the works. Took my sportster that was a few years ago.

 

When I went over a year ago watch out at the Canadian border checkpoint. The road has an unusual rise so when cages pull up the car is tilted so the CBSA folks can look into the car. When you pull up on your bike,, the right side is LOWER than the left so watch your footing.
