I did it - pulled trigger on '16 Level 3 full Wing

Funny you should mention that ... I have been thinking that this new ride might open up some more opportunities! I have ridden other bikes in Texas, Alaska, British Columbia and the Yukon Territory ... but have never taken any of my bikes out of New York State ... and that is about 50,000 miles of riding.

I've been thinking about extending my rides into NY. The area NNW of Albany is asking me to explore. Actually, I've been thinking about riding all over North America! Gotta get going before I get too old!
There is great riding in VT if you can avoid the tourist traffic. Only a couple of hours east of you.

Thanks. I'll tell ya a great ride is Rt 28N from North Creek to Newcomb ... takes you into the central Adirondacks ... and there is 20 mile stretch in there that has all the curves of the Dragon. I rode it last summer and did not want it to end! Watch out for moose when you see the signs though. North Creek is probably an hour or so north and west of Albany. I haven't done too much riding over there just because it is so far away from my starting point. I typically do 100-150 mile rides in the Finger Lakes region, which are close to home (see my thumbnail pic for an example of the views in the Finger Lakes).

VT - would love to go - more than a couple of hours from Rochester though - even going 75 mph on the Thruway instead of back roads is at least three hours - Albany is 200 miles from here (NY is bigger than it looks on a map).
