The man speaks the truth…

Try this-take the Northway to exit 24, get off and take a right. Go until you come to a ‘T’, take a left. This is ‘Tongue Mountain’, runs between Bolton Landing and Silver Bay, NY. Strap in!

theres a few curves. There were always cars fucked up in the winter at one of them.  
I mostly liked driving that road because of the jumps though.

Yep I love that road, take it all the way up to silverbay and shoot back across over to the northway. Theres some real nice views on that road as well.

Yep, probably the best drive around. I led the 2008 summer ‘Shift518 cruise’ thru there. If I’m around (meaning not working out of state) this season, I’ll try to set up a similar cruise again.

There is a road up here that goes from QBY to Lake Luzerne. You need to go over the mountain to get there and it is the CRAZIEST road I have ever driven for twisties. It is only about 1-2 miles but it is the most fun I have ever had on a road. Very steep and turns that are almost 90 degrees. Insane.

////\ I agree.

Route 9N from Bolton Landing to Ticonderoga has some nice sections.  
Blue Ridge Rd between North Hudson and Newcomb is a good one.  
9L near Lake George has a couple good spots too.

If you are ever in VT:  
Route 125 between East Middlebury and Hancock (a little rough but good)  
Route 73 between Forestdale and Rochester (Brandon Gap).  
Lincoln Gap; part of its dirt and closed in the winter.  
Route 17 (Appalachian Gap)
