...anyone considering a run to the east coast - hit up highway 2east. I just came back from 3000k in 3.5days, and didn't hit one superslab from Ny state on through to the south main coast. Amazing roads! friendly people - and non stop lobster shacks!
The only negative part was coming back through Kingston today on the 401 - traffic jam - I was creeping up the inside shoulder while the cagers were gridlocked. A semi truck thought he would play police officer and threatened to run me off the road. this happened to me before in Oakville - not sure what's wrong with the big truckers...
was a different story across the US - I was always down on the States, but now I can whole heartedly recommend a ride through the northeast. People love bikes - and time again would invite me to pass through their lane space. A different mindset towards bikers - and I'm surprised and sorry to report, but it was more positive than I've experienced anywhere within 500k of Toronto.
If anyone would like some route suggestions or pics let me know - a truly amazing trip that has huge mountains, ocean rides, remote lakes & true wilderness.
...already looking forward to the next time the girlfriend goes away so I can make another run south...
