Anyone by the Finger Lakes in NY?

[JT Griso]

I live half way between the Finger Lakes and the Pennsylvania hills. Gorgeous roads if you don’t mind twisties and rolling hills.

Anyone around my neck of the woods? Id love to attend a Guzzi meet next summer.

G’Day !
Been down through the finger lakes region around Watkins Glen and some of the Nothern Pennsylvania roads around Coudersport , Great roads !
Raven did a tour in Penn last year or the year before ?

 

[JT Griso]

Even though Finger Lakes are gorgeous it is not until you get into Pennsylvania that the fun starts. The Forksville (covered bridge, awesome cheesesteak subs), Eagles Mere, Painted Rocks, End of the World park, Canton, Grover, Shunk areas are worth the visit.

The Allegheney National Forest area has some great roads too.

 

[JT Griso]

I rode the Du Bois area a couple of times but never made it that far west. Are we talking about Route 666? I heard about that but I’ve never been there.

 

[Raven]

That was one of the roads we took. We were based in Lantz Corners for a couple of days.

 

[JT Griso]

Yes, thank you Raven. That triggers a memory about a Swedish (?) restaurant in Mount Jewett. Looked like a library and a living room and a pharmacy put together. Café Sol? Something like that, great place.
Next time I’ll venture further west. I appreciate the tip.

I am over by Cobleskill. I usually spend most of my rides exploring that area and expanding my circle. I hope to get into Canada this year with the new bike.

I went down to Hartford CT. For work a few years back and took all the backroads I could, to get there, some were under construction at the time, but it was Great !
I’ve sworn I would do them again thé the bike…
I haven’t yet, Maybe this year now that I have time !

I have a house just north of Hartford CT as well so I ride around there as well. I generally take rt20 to get between the two. It's a pleasant ride most of the way instead of the highway.

You’re about 100 miles from me. I enjoy the section around Eagle’s Mere in PA, close enough from home and plenty of twisties.

My Moto Grappa is at the top of Virginia, i.e., about 30 miles from the Pennsylvania line.

Have a great Guzzista friend in Rochester; Bob was actually a Guzzi dealer in Berliner days!

I and others ride up his way -- and vice versa -- frequently. Grand roads the whole way.

WRT Finger Lakes, spent a weekend in Hammondsport on Keuka Lake last summer with Bob and Dr. John ... not THAT Dr. John, but another Guzzista of the first rank!

Fine moto-roads aside, but, as you likely already know, the Glenn Curtiss museum -- https://glennhcurtissmuseum.org -- is worth the ride by itself.

Call me up next time you’re up and about. I’ll show you around Forksville and Shunk, home of the late Fast Eddie.

I live at the top of Seneca Lake (Geneva). Moved here when I retired for the endless miles of great roads. Glen Curtiss museum is a must see. NY route 20 is a great east- west road if you are traveling accross NY State.
