OH 800 south of I-70 at Hendrysburg is a nice road. Take it to Fly OH and hop the ferry over to Sistersville.
The Ferry hours are Thursday & Friday 6 A.M. ? 6 P.M., Saturday and Sunday 9 A.M. ? 6 P.M. Costs to ride the Ferry: Motorcycles $3.00
Make your way east and ride US 50 from Bridgeport to Winchester, VA which is nice
US 340 north to Frederick MD is good then pick up 15 from there thru Gettysburg and then on to Harrisburg (340/15 is a good 4 lane thru farm and mtns)

Just wait on Geerzer Glide to chime in. I took his advice when we traveled up that way a few years back. He was spot on. 18 days seem like a long time to spend a p there but you will be able to take your time for sure.

Just road RT 6 in Pa. That could be a good starting point from Ohio then head north up into NY and Watkins Glen FingerLakes. Up to Rt 28 on west side dacks and ride it across the park to VT Just road with Geezer Glider and he is very knowledgable.

I agree with Perry um. Geezr won't steer you wrong. He suggested a few roads when I lead 3 bikes across the upper part of PA and he never missed a beat. Stop at Larry's Sports Center just east of Coudersport, PA. Great place and even better people.

Cross into the States in Northern VT and pick up RT 100 south. Follow that south to Rt 9, east crossing the Ct River into NH for starters.

Haven't "chimed in" because your route didn't include the "must-ride" roads that I know in PA & central upstate NY. If anything changes, I'd be glad to suggest a few things.
The only thing other thing along your route that I can suggest (if you'll be close) is maybe the gondola ride up to the top of Mt. Washington, over near Lake Placid. There's a ferry into VT at Fort Ticonderoga, but it's maybe too far south if you were mapping everything out & crossing at Plattsburgh.
