I'm relatively new to motorcycling, but so far the best event I've attended hands down is Americade in Lake George NY. It happens in June, and approx. 50K bikers show up for the week. The area is surrunded by amazing roads due to the number of hills/mountains/bodies of water. Lots of twisties!
Highly recommended.

THAT SOUNDS AMAZING. i would love to finally get to new york this summer. i will skip americade i think. big crowds i like to avoid typically but the roads sound awesome.

Good thinking. The crowds should be experienced some time because it has a real event atmosphere. However it's the roads that will keep me coming back. It's the same with Port Dover. Just go there any given Saturday or Sunday in the summer and you'll likely enjoy yourself more. Plenty of bikes, but you can actually walk the streets without bumping into people constantly!

I found Americade too congested. Only 1 real strip. I prefer Laconia. Just as pretty but a little more spread out. I was though impressed with the variety of classes. There's a real goldwing representation (which is how it all started) which seems to make it a family-type event.

watch out for police and speed traps in NY State!

i have not done laconia and would like to but i hear it is difficult because most accomidations are out of town and the event is spread out so you have to be very conscious of over embibing. i dont want to put ourselves in jeopardy of getting dui's trying to navigate the event. can someone help me out who has been there re accomidations?

all are welcome adamwest and i dont make the rules. the smiling face at the end of it is supposed to signify it is an off the cuff remark, or a joke. not an affront to anyone or a slight of any kind. i am an ex ss rider and a fan of the technology that goes into them. i hope this clarifies everything for you.

I was up to Sportbike about 6-7 times back when the Foley fairgrounds was the main event area. Havn't been back since CC bowed out. I have heard mixed reviews of the event since.
