Motorcycle Roads in Massachusetts
"Great motorcycle rides in Massachusetts (MA) vary from roads in the heavily forested Berkshire Mountains in the west to the roads that follow the path of sandy beaches and massive bluffs of Cape Cod to the east. Hiking, camping, and small town sightseeing & shopping abound around the state and the Boston area offers world class amenities. The state also features some of the country's most prominent historical landmarks: where the Mayflower landed bringing the first European settlers, where the first shot of the Revolutionary War took place, location of the famed Witch Trials, and the location where Henry David Thoreau (Walden) developed and published some of his most profound thoughts.

This route brings you from forests, to farmland, to the shore. Mostly along roads without much traffic; though to cut back on road time, look at my alternate start.

Trees line both sides of the road most of the way. Some spots also have lakes and creeks. Plenty of shady areas along the road so your not baking in the sun.

We found this route a terrific alternative to riding on RT 20, with it's endless stoplights. It's a great day-long ride through the countryside.
