I hope to ride up from Ky this year. Ive been to Sturgis 14,20. Daytona 12,13,15,21,23 and Thunder beach too many to count, but always trailered. I plan to take Hwy 62 all the way to Niagra falls, in two days. Ride over to Laconia in two day, and stay for two days, then over to Maine. Then work my way down through Rhode Island, and back to Ky in 10 days. Thats all the time I have.

Booked a room, its about an hour away
But better then driving thru Boston 2+ hours
It was cheaper to book it for a week VS only 4 nites
Not sure I will stay for a week, but its booked Sat to Sat
Can cancel up until 2 days before I arrive...in case I find a different place

We stay up near Lincoln which is about that far North of Weirs Beach. It's all good, the riding is awesome in the whole area, heading down to there and the NHMS. Riding through Franconia and Crawford Notches are also great rides.

I live 1 1/2 hrs away so it's an easy rally for me to attend---we do stay in the N Conway area mid week through Sunday with friends every year[ mostly for the riding]
Bentley's is about an hour ride from Laconia so many times we will head over there on Saturday afternoon. Have fun and stay safe

For the first timers, the center of the Rally is Weirs Beach, not Laconia. Just an FYI, I have seen people book rooms in downtown Laconia thinking they were in the center of it all to find out Weirs Beach is the next town over. Take a look at a map. If this rally is as crowded as they are expecting that could be an hour ride in traffic. No traffic, still 15 minutes.

That said we are staying with friends in Manchester, solid hour south. My usual cabin was booked two years ago, oh well.
