So I want to plan some trips this year for myself and the sewing machines i ride with(love that saying).We are from the central jersey area and love the twisties. I heard that the nest is sick a ride. Any other suggestions are welcome and the more the merrier. Hey Brumbear arent you from up that way? | ||

Hawks nest is nice, if I remember right a few car commercials were filmed there. | ||

BMW I call it the "ribbon road" .. it's the one where you see the car popping in and out of view as it follows the twisty road. New York has some of the best twisty roads in the country . . let's keep that quiet!  I may run up to the nest tomorrow. | ||

Hawks nest is pretty scenic but not too technical. Just look at google maps and find the squiggly lines you're usually going to find a fun road as long as it's not dirt (unless you have a Uly of course). | ||

A nice loop from the Hawks Nest is to go north on 97 to 55, take 55 north/east which will take you to the lower tier of the catskill park and eventually loop back down to 209 which you can take back to your origin point. A slightly abbreviated version of this ride has you taking route 42 at Grahamsville back south which will lead back to 97 just a few miles north of the Hawks nest. | ||

Like the Hawk's Nest, but it's too damned short. | ||

hawks nest blows. When you plan on being up this way give a shout and we will get your heartrate up sort of like this... But with more turns and no inertial dampeners  | ||

Hammer check the RIO DAM Road If thats hard surfaced its gonna be an E ticket oops I let some of the secret out cross 42 on the forestburg road and 1st left is plankrd then next left is rio dam rd I am gonna try to check it out in a week or so Hose I'll pm ya when things get going right now still a little to much gravel for me up there I wait for a few spring rains to clear em usually first week of April it is whacky racer time now just getting my groove on ya know | ||
| Seanp |
Man, I can't wait to move up there! | ||
| Hammeroid |

| Jaimec |
Hey... whatever happened to Tramp?? | ||

hammer is dead nuts right! hawks nest is great for filming and scenery. if you want curves hook up with hammer for a day. rt218, 9w, 6 over bear mtn, annseville circle, seven lakes dr, etc. you will not be let down, except of course if you've just rode north georgia! | ||
| Seanp |
I'm looking forward to my daily commute from Newburgh to West Point - 9W south and 218 north, or maybe the other way around... I should be nice and stress-free by the time I get home each night. | ||
| Brumbear |
let the grinnin begin that whole are from the hudson to the delaware is dead sexy to ride | ||
| Hammer71 |
Sean when are you going to be here? Mike, Im not nuts. | ||
| Brumbear |
Are you gonna be Cadre at Woo Poo? Years ago the Army carreer NCO offered me Woo Poo cadre if I reupped. I just couldn't do it I kinda wished I had though.I'd be collecting a pension right now instead of breaking my balls as a forklift mechanic.I look foward to riding with ya Dave | ||

I should be up that way by the middle of May, for three years to teach military history. I just bought a new toy today, which should be very nice for some of those roads up there. It has as many cylinders as my other two bikes combined! (Ok, so it's still only 3...)  | ||
| Brumbear |
nice  there is a triumph dealer right up ny where your going to at least I think there is on 9n maybe | ||
| Seanp |
There's one in Fort Montgomery and one just north of Poughkeepsie. I made sure there was one nearby before I committed. I don't want to run into another situation like I have here, where the nearest Buell dealer is 2+ hours away. | ||
| Mikexlr650 |
bring that dual sport with you too! we got trails!!! | ||
| Mikexlr650 |
you will have a great commute! choice of sweepers or tight twisties every day with little traffic, i'm jealous. | ||
| Hammer71 |
You could take the water b gone truck up there if ya want. So dont be jealous | ||
| Seanp |
I'll definitely be bringing the KLX. I'm hoping to figure out a way to ride it on USMA property. When I was a cadet we got HMMWVs for the first time, and a friend of mine and I signed one out of the motor pool right after a hurricane came through in '99/'00. We drove that thing all around the training area, and there are a hell of a lot of good trails out there. If you know other trails, I'm definitely up for it! | ||

hammeroid picked up a drz this winter, tracker95 has one as well. as you might guess i have an xr650l, so we're ready for some dual sport riding. | ||
| Mikexlr650 |
water be gone truck has been on some precarious job sites. you might be amazed where a cube-van can go without 4wd. of course it's also been sunk up to it's axles in the middle of nowhere with nobody else on the site, great times. | ||
