Hi everyone,

I'm getting married next September, and before I do... I want to take a week-long motorbike trip somewhere before that happens. (Contemplate freedom lost?)

I have a few ideas of places to go, would like to run them by you...

  1. Go to Gaspé, QC and then on to Moncton to see an uncle. Thinking Ottawa via Pete/Perth, then Quebec City (via backroads N. of Montreal), then Rimourski, Gaspe, and then ride the coast down - and then go through NB on the return trip.
  2. Go to Tail of the Dragon and throw in Blue Ridge Parkway. Hope to end up around Raleigh, NC where I have an uncle.
  3. Go to the UP of Michigan, come down opposite Lake Michigan, and see a friend in Chicago.

I do like the twisties, but also would like to see the destinations too. I'm leaning towards Gaspé/Moncton because I still know French a bit and have some history in Ottawa and Quebec City.

Would be interested to know if any forum riders have done these routes and could recommend one vs. another, or have any specific suggestions.
