    US219 is really nice, especially further south.
    I enjoy listening to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

    Re: ROUTE to Pennsylvania?

    I just came back riding 5 days through Route 6 Pennsylvania. Stayed in Wellsboro using it as a hub to tour further east (they have a 507)and south & ten back west.
    http://www.paroute6.com/ and http://www.motorcycleroads.com/route.../PA/PA_3.shtml

    There were very few straight roads. Incredibly motorcycle friendly.
    Have fun, be safe.

    Hwy 19 is also nice, but it's farther east from Buffalo.

    It all depends where in New York you're starting and where in Pennsylvania you want to end up.

    Many roads are pretty decent, you're not risking much by just picking one and trying it out.

    I'd suggest US 219 if you haven't ridden it before. It's really nice.

    Isn't that the same as Highway 90?

    Highway 90? I don't know. It's not I-90, if you mean that:

    The first half of your route (to Williamsport) is exactly the same route I posted earlier.

    One of the nicest road in that area was Wykoff Run, across the river at the point where 872 meets 120. We ended up doing 4 runs of that stretch

    I can vouch for the southern part, he hit some great roads there.

    US 144 from Renovo over the mountain was repaved recently and it'd be a treat!

    You've left out the best section of 120 from Hyner Lookout to Lock Haven.
    I would replace US 15 with 287, much nicer run with less vehicles.
    Other "must to ride" roads in Williamsport area: Canoe Run Rd.,Pine Run Rd.,State route 3005,144,44,414.
    I have to agree with TheShnizzle that Route 6 is kinda boring.
