Up in New Hampshire USA Mt. Washingtons Auto Road closes during Laconias bike week to allow only motorcycles, I got a good weather report so i went up this year on my trusty old 1988 GTR 1000. These are some pics and vids from the trip.


It was all highway till I got to Fraconia Knotch NH,

You pay $17, and get a sticker "This Bike Climbed Mt.Washington"

Its just like any other New England back road at first, then you get out of the trees at higher elevations.
