I live on the Cape and want to give people a heads-up. The Cape is overpopulated and jammed with traffic even before tourist season and is not a good place to ride, especially Old King's Highway (we just call it 6A). If you ride here, you really need to be aware at all times. We have lots of motorcycle fatalities and serious injuries. I would avoid the Cape altogether from May to September; during those months, you should expect to spend most of your ride sitting in traffic or just creeping along.

I live in Peabody MA and 127 to 133 is one of my favorites. As he said, jump on 1A and head up to the NH coast into southern Maine for some great views! And my first ever ride was the Mohawk Trail. My Dad was living in North Adams and I took a bus out. We spent the weekend getting my Mom's old Kawasaki running and I headed home Sunday on the Trail. I was hooked from then on. Great videos guys!!

Great choices! For a nice west to east in the northern part of the state, try route 119 in Ashburnham near the NH boarder (119 will also take you west through southern nh to Vermont). Follow 119 east to route 113 east. Choose a northerly route before entering Lowell or Lawrence though!

Adding in the summit of Mount Greylock to your Mohawk Trail ride is a definite do-not-miss. Highest peak in the state, there is a lodge with bathrooms and a cafe at the top, as well as a stone monument that may be open to climb up ( essentially an old lighthouse- no longer lit ) . The road up is in good shape with lots of twists and turns, and great views.

Yeah, that's a good point. I get on 7, North of Pittsfield, go up Greylock, then to North Adams out on Route 2 on the Mohawk Trail, to 8A (South or North). A wonderful way to keep cool in the Summer as a lot of the road is well shaded, next to moving water or higher elevation.

This is a great video and includes some of my favorite rides. This past October I started west on Route 9 from Leicester, just west of Worcester, and took it all the way to Pittsfield. Then I went north on Route 7 to Williamsburg and then west on Route 2, which becomes the Mohawk Trail. I took Route 2 east to Route 202 south and then got onto Route 122 east all the way to Paxton. Then south on Route 56 back to Route 9 in Leicester. Long day, but a great fall ride.
