I'll do my best, Thanks.

I took my drivers license test when I was 17 at DMV in Rahway so I know about where you are. I used to work on North ave in Westfield,18 years ago as well.

Heyyy - central Jersey! You aren't too far from me and Brackstone - and probably others too.

Post frequently, man - it is always good to have someone to talk to.

Most of the areas you had mentioned are in north Jersey 65 miles or so from my house. I used to work in Paramus though on rt 17. I'd love to ride the roads on my moto up at bear mountain, that would be great. I rode some of them on my bicycle for a fund raiser once. Come to think of it I remember going 45 mph plus on my hardtail mountain bike down hill at bear mountain. Weeeee. (ran out of gearing!!)

Ah, yes! I'm sure it is possible to go that fast on a mountain bike on Bear Mountain

To be honest, when I first started riding my motorcycle up there, I actually was passed by a cyclist through one of the downhill passes! I was a total newbie but I didn't know the road and the cliffs were a bit too much for my noob skills to handle!

The good roads? I don't know. I have been exploring the site "good motorcycle roads in NJ", "Highways and byways" and others to decide where I want to go. 524 is kind of cool and the surrounding farm roads in mill town. 571 south towards toms river is good in spots. 29 up the left coast of NJ was ok, scenic but slow. I continue to explore though.

Thanks for the welcome.

I've ridden around Toms River..yeah, definitely some nice roads there. Thanks for the info on 524 and 29. I will try to make it up there and explore too. Be safe :thumbsup:

Huh, small world. I used to live down by Toms River - Howell. I've been on 571, 524 down there - in a car - probably years ago now.

I used to know a back way home from Great Adventure to Howell... And then they changed a bunch of the roads down there.

Ah well. Maybe I'll put a GPS on my bike so I can find my way back home from over there.
