Since spring is around the corner and i was thinking of trying to find good driving roads in NJ, NY,PA ,CT. What im sure we are all looking for are some nice twisties with low traffic and police pressence...not saying we a goin to be breaking the law , just a road that would be a good experience to drive. If you find any roads like this please post and if its really nice take some pics.

Hope everyone has fun with this.

 

bear mtn....

 

I agree with chris. The roads I take from CT to Bear Mountain are nice.

 

yea i've known about bear mountain for a while. but was hoping there were others.. anyway ty for the input im gonna put up some pics of locals and roads soon.

 

North western CT.

 

anybody in pa ever go to bake oven ****?

 

Agreed with Chris as well, Bear mountain is a fun drive, nice scenery, etc.

Love the straightaways in NJ for the midnight runs.

CT has some beautiful roads as well.

LI just sucks, unless your at the beaches or out in the hamptons/montauk pt.

 

Route 534 near Albrightsville, PA. From Route 80 south to 209. There are some nice twisties, both for a bike and a car. heehee.....

 

Den Rd. exit 34 (i think) off the merrit pkwy. hands down best short run in southwest CT

 

near montalk point on long island. lands down in conneticut and finally redding, PA

 

Sorry to revive this thead, but I was googling something and found this.... The weird thing is that the last time I was active on this forum was exactly a year ago. March 21, 2008

 

plenty of roads out in my area... im gonna start planning a drive and bbq again at Flemington Mazda.... this time no miata club...but chris is welcome to come

 

oh its like that huh?

 

do you want them there... last time they yelled at you

 

I nice little road near Port Jevis NY called Hawks Nest on Route 97 it follows the Delaware River. I take my bike up there every year.

theres a lot of nice roads near the delaware gap that offer some really nice scenery. the nicest ive seen is a section on rt 322, coming south from psu main campus, awesome ride

 

Middletown Road, in Holmdel, NJ. Big trees, nice curves. Nice scenary. Had a sport bike, look back at me twice once when i was on the road, suprised that I was keeping up in the twisties.

 

When I was stationed in Rome NY at Griffiss AFB, I used to make 6 hr runs during long weekends down to York PA. The segments along the interstates were fast, but boring.

The interesting part was getting to and back from I-81 at Binghamton. From Hinmans Corner / Chenango Bridge Rte 12 - 12B - 26 to Rome was THE most fun I've had behind the wheel. Rolling roads through farm country, running wide open at times (there is one farm owner who'll never forget seeing that crappy 'Iron Duke' Celebrity catching air past his barn), I would LOVE to run it with the RX-8.

I know it was sex-in-public with the RX-7 that fall weekend in 1991, running northbound FAST late Sunday afternoon while I had the light.

Good times...

 

Nothing in NYC.

Roads are either too garbage (over 99.99995% are garbage), or too many cops around to catch people speeding (They pull u over even you just 10 over 30 mph, Im dead serious, oh well government needs money what can I say?)

 

I found a gem of a road near Caumsett State Park in Long Island. W Neck Road has got some nice curves, some places are tight to the water, the views are great and you'll find yourself flying solo most of the time. It's not a long bit of road but it's still a fun drive.

 

I hit that a year or so ago....yeah small/short but very nice place to go drive...

 

I was just up at Bear mountain this past weekend for a few runs... it was fun.

 

When are we going to have a New York centric meet again?!

 

I also forgot to mention, Atlantic Highlands, NJ, scenic route.........reminds me of europe. nice tight curves, nice up hills, a lot of S-turns. Can't speed too much though, but you can stay in 3rd gear the whole way, nice view of sandy hook area when you get to the top, also has a german restaurant up top. when ur done climbing up. Tons of inner roads to explore.

 

The roads to Devil's Hopyard in CT are amazing. I've been in a Corvette, T-rex, and regular motorcycle on those roads. Great experience all those times. I haven't taken the 8 on them yet because I live farther away now. I'm definitely going that direction sometime this summer. Also, I found that Rt 219 in CT where it winds past a reservoir is VERY nice. And you can't forget the roads to Lime Rock Park. Those are nice too.
