While the name “New York” tends to conjure up images of the city, its iconic skyline and bustling streets, there is a whole lot more to discover in the state of New York than what can be seen in the 5 boroughs. New York’s over 50,000 square miles of land features remarkable geographic diversity. The Adirondack and Appalachian mountain ranges contain some of New York’s best and most scenic motorcycle roads, many of which could be considered among the best roads to ride on the eastern seaboard. The many lakes and waterways of the state have also done a fine job of producing some seriously fun motorcycle roads. If you haven’t been to The Empire State (or if you have only been to New York City, as is the case for most visitors), there’s a lot more to discover in the state of New York than you might imagine.
Although New York isn’t exactly a giant state, one look at any roadway map is enough to make your head spin. How is one supposed to know which roads in that tangled mess of concrete and asphalt are best for riding on two wheels? Our goal is to make planning and logging your next ride as easy as possible.

Being well prepared for a motorcycle ride or trip in the state of New York isn’t too difficult. Firstly, be sure to know what you’re getting yourself into climate/weather-wise. Each geographical region of the state has its own set of weather characteristics at different times of the year, so doing a little research into annual weather patterns at different points along your intended route will do well to inform you on what gear to bring. For example: If planning to ride the Adirondack Mountains in July (generally the wettest month of the year in New York state), you can be best-prepared for the cool mornings, warm afternoons and likely rainfall by using a weather-adaptable gear setup. Such a setup may include a base layer, a ventilated riding jacket/pant, and some rain gear that can be thrown on when needed.
So you’re planning a motorcycle ride/trip in New York state. Do you want to experience the sights and sounds of The Big Apple from the saddle of your motorcycle?

Stony Clove Notch is a narrow pass, roughly 2,220 feet (677 m) in elevation located in the Town of Hunter in Greene County, New York, deep in the Catskill Mountains. It is traversed by New York State Route 214, although in the past the Ulster and Delaware Railroad went through it as well. The notch divides Hunter and Plateau mountains. There is just enough room for the road, and the steep, soaring slopes of both mountains are some of the Catskills' most striking scenery, with landslides and rocky cliffs visible. Today it is a popular destination not only for tourists in the region but for outdoor recreationists as well. One of the Catskills' major hiking trails crosses the road near the notch.
