Gentlemen,

Planning a ride from Houston,Tx to NYC, NY and then back down the East Coast in April... anybody have any suggestions? My old Lady and i on my Deluxe and a good friend of ours on his Ultra.

 

Sounds like a great trip.
Make sure to have some good rain gear....

 

yup rain gear is a definate, but i was thinking more along the lines of places to visit while en route.

 

When you get to NYC it is worth the trip to go to Indian Larry's in Brooklyn, it is only a 20 minute ride from downtown NYC. Also, on your way back, you can stop at Peter Lugers Steak house, ranked in the top 5 steak houses year after year.

Definitly want to come into NYC via NJ. That way it is easy to stop and see the Statue of Liberty.

 

Be sure to update us on how your trip goes. Myself and three friends are planning the same trip but leaving from Texarkana Texas the first week
of June.

 

If you decide to travel through northern Louisiana stay off of I 20 from Texas line to Monroe! US 84 is a nice route but if you are looking for scenic/rustic, try La Hiway 2! Really nice most of the way! You wan't break is speed records but all in all a nice ride! I 20 is just rough as **ll! I hate it! Good luck! Y'all have fun!

 

Thinking about going to DC on my bike April 22...meeting some friends for a ride after a meeting in DC that week...

 

Houston to Natchez, LA
Natchez Trace to I-40
I-40 to Smoky Mts.
Blueridge Parkway to Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive to PA,
Then back moutain roads of PA to NY
Then down the east coast.....

 

....

 

Exactly the info i was looking for sir... thank you
