Visiting in November. Can anyone recommend anything that might be of interest to a fellow Harley owner?

We have a pretty big country here. Could you be more specific?

Find a cabbie that likes to talk. Flip him some small cash and ask him to show you the sites where the locals go. Make it plain that you are not interested in the usual tourist BS. In about 20 minutes you'll figure out where you want to go on your own.

If you've never been before this could be a good place to start. Rent a Harley and check out the sites.

Without a doubt you wanna visit the 9-11 museum. Go to AAA for a tour book for other ideas.

I've got to think you're referring to NYC. November weather can be 70 or 30 so depending on that. The 9-11 Museum is a must, The Intrepid Air and Space Aircraft Carrier is cool, The Rangers will be playing so id get a ticket for a game, Times Square at night and a Broadway Show is pretty must see for tourists. A Central Park stop over is worth it. If you're coming around thanksgiving the Parade might be fun or at least watching them inflate the balloons the night before.

There is every kind of restaurant you'd ever dream of so food isn't gonna be a problem. Bars have music like everywhere else, there's a concert somewhere pretty much any night.

What's your plan? Just visiting for a couple days, staying a couple of weeks, or just passing through?

Buy Pizza.
Eat at a Kosher Deli. Go to an Italian Restaurant. Empire State Building. Statue of Liberty.
Just sit and watch people on any corner. Crazy. Then relax in Central Park.

X2 on the Intrepid. Take one of the guided tours, they cost a little extra but they are excellent.
