WingRider: I have a HD sportster that I bought almost ten years ago... I've wanted to upgrade, but I've put some customization on this bike, and I really don't want to sell my first bike to finance another. I'll have to save up my pennies and wait

I've been curious to check out some Triumphs and such, too. But, I'm really interested in rebuilding something like an old 42WLA.
I usually attend the Harley Rendezvous in upstate NY each year. That's a good party
bazsup: I would say to stay somewhere either around or in Lake Placid if you need a good base camp. The drive up is gorgeous and it would put you near a ton of hiking trails, canoeing spots, etc. There is stuff to do in town during the day and night, good food, etc. If you are looking for something a little more rustic, I would check out some of the "hotels" around Speculator. And, you can camp anywhere in the Park with some minor restrictions.
I spent two weeks once after college with a few friends, camping from town to town across the Adks and into Vermont. What a good time. We would camp and hike around, then go into towns for the night when we were close enough. What a blast.
