Visiting the coastal communities of New England on two fast wheels provides the opportunity to not just view sites and scenery passing by the windows, but to experience it and be a part of it. Riders who are interested in exploring New England via motorcycle can find tour operators who will provide assistance, from planning lodging and meals to securing the shipping of bikes (or rentals) and procuring attraction tickets.
The New England Motorcycle Tours tour operator offers guided tours along New England over one to four days' time. Tours depart from Stowe, Vermont; riders go about 200 miles per day, passing scenery such as the Green Mountains, the Berkshires and Maine's coast line. Motorcyclists may bring their own vehicles or rent one through the group's connection to Wilkins Harley-Davidson (rentals are not included in the tour prices). Riders of all levels are welcome on the tours; the group can design itineraries by request and to specific riders' experience. Frequent tour fans may be interested in New England Motorcycle Tour's special--buy four one-day tours and get one free. All tour participants must hold a valid motorcycle license and sign a liability waiver. Tour prices include lodging, but no meals, fuel, support van or entrance fees.
