Wow, ok I'm wrong with my advice. Must be riding style and 50++. It's always taken me the better part of a day to do Placid. Then there's enjoying Placid itself making it a 3 day event. I cannot even fathom a 3 day weekend involving Bar Harbour ... respect for sure!
Cheers.
Well, I did it on a comfy bike, my old HD FLTRX, left on the Saturday morning and got into Bar Harbor around 23:30h that night. I was pretty sore. Sunday I road around Acadia National Park and up the mountain there, flew an open air cockpit biplane (the pilot let me have the controls because I have previous flying experience), went to the Bar Harbor Inn and got a massage from a biker chick who knew exactly where I was sore, had a nice steak dinner at the Bar Harbor Inn Restaurant. Enjoyed a cigar and a nice walk along the Harbor, retired to bed early, and Monday I started riding back. Going there I had gone through Ontario in NY, Vermont, NH, Maine. Going home I went through Main, NH, Vermont, Quebec, I hit Montreal around 15:00 and was going to get some smoked meat for lunch but the traffic around and into the city was so awful that I just hightailed it to the 401 and got home around 20:30. Fun three days! I toured a lot on that Harley, did my across the USA and up the PCH trip on it. I could do 15 hour days on her. I don't know if that will be the case with my new bike, a Triumph Street Triple R.
