Don't have time for a long, overnight trip? Then it's a good thing there's lots of riding adventures within a day's ride of FX Caprara Harley-Davidson. Here are my favorites:
Thousand Islands Region:
This video, which features members of our Northern New York H.O.G. Chapter, pretty much says & shows it all. Literally right in our back yard, so even if you only have half a day or even just wanna take the long way home, it's very easy to do here.

| If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then a video is 10,000 |
Cooperstown, NY:
In addition to the Baseball Hall Of Fame (and even if you're not that into baseball, it's still pretty cool to check out because the game is America's pass-time and our history as a nation is sssooo intertwined), there's the Fenimore Art Museum & Brewery Ommegang. Be sure to ride through the Illion Gorge on your way - south of Illion on NY-51.

Saranac Lake & Mount Baker:
Located on NY-3 in the heart of the Adirondacks, this mountain town is a nice alternative to the hustle & bustle of Lake Placid (except Whiteface Mountain, if you haven't been, is very "Ride List" worthy). Canoeing, Kayaking & Hiking - oh, my! The later is my fav with a hike out to Baker Mountain to see & photograph the High Peaks region.

Finger Lakes Region:
A visit to the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum is a must!! A pioneer in aviation and early motorcycle manufacturer, Glenn H. Curtiss was an innovative genius. The museum is home to original and reproductions of early aircraft, automobiles, boats and motorcycles - including a V8 bike from 1907.

Letchworth State Park:
I'm actually leading a ride with our NNY Harley Owners Group there at the end of this month, and it'll be my first visit there. Hailed as the "Grand Canyon of the East," the state park offers nature, history and performing arts programs, guided walks, tours and more. Wanna ride with us? Meet at the Adams Center Sunoco Gas Station (by FXCHD) on July 30th, 7:30am; KSU at 8:00am

You got your motorcycle for a reason, remember? And it wasn't to collect dust in your garage. Now, turn off your computer or tablet and get out. Go Ride.
