New England Motorcycle Tour: Boston & Niagara

This New England motorcycle tour begins in Boston, where your Harley-Davidson rental awaits for twelve days of riding along the American East Coast. After picking up your bike and meeting your guide, the first leg heads from Plymouth to Cape Cod. An experienced guide leads the group while the support vehicle handles luggage, letting you focus on the scenery and the colours of Indian Summer. The route then continues via Niagara Falls toward Maine, with daily stages on well-surfaced back roads and highways.
