Originally I wanted to make a trip down to the Florida Keys, unfortunately bad timing and lack of good plan led to the necessity to change the destination to Montreal. This was our real first motorcycle touring adventure. We wanted to finish it big and make some memories before Daniel, my brother and my partner in crime for this adventure, was shipped away to US Army boot camp in the beginning of September.
We had no idea that our 3 day trip to Montreal would turn to a week long adventures stretching from Quebec province, Maine and Massachusetts.
In the end we have clocked 2,300 thousand miles on our bikes. Mostly we had fun days but there were also times when the thought of getting back on the bike made us sick, well not really. But it was harder and harder to climb on our bikes as we clocked more miles.
Anyway that's enough for the introduction. On we go with the first part of our trip.
Day 1- Trip to Montreal through the state of New York.
Due to our time constraint we had to opt out for the I-87. Riding a motorcycle on a boring interstate is akin to killing oneself by being bored to death. Unfortunately we had to opt out for speed and cruising at 85mph is really only doable on an interstate.
We left New York City in the late morning at about 8am. By the time we made our way outside of the city it might have been close to 9am.
Photo with mom before leaving.
Somewhere on I-87, in the mountains before Lake George
still on I-87, same spot
making a pit stop to pee and some photo opportunity
last 75 miles before the Canadian border
same spot
Finally in Canada... ugh...
arriving in "Downtown" of Saint Helen de Bagot
where are we ?!
Daniel pretending to smoke some rubber lol
St. Libore, we finally found our motel
Sidenote, we are back in NYC, but I didn't have a laptop with me during the trip so I am sharing the pics now.
tomorrow I will post part 2.
