best roads in north jersey

[rickyd13]

what are some of the best roads in north jersey in your opinions don't have to be long could just be a random turn that you enjoy

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Pretty much anywhere near Vernon area or Northwest Jersey. I'll try to come up with a list at some point.

Takid455 has some pretty good routes too.

[rickyd13]

i was trying to avoid traffic one day and found a cool twisty road behind the cedar grove resivor but its not long only maybe 1/4 mile until its back to normal roads

[Jersey Mike]

Rt. 287 between exits 21 & 26-ish, then again from exits 59 to The Sheraton Crossroads.

^ Yup....17m off the thruway and around sterling forrest up over the mt to vernon..nice scenery and some twistys.

[WSex]

theres quarter mile on 1&9 express way before pulaski skyway. i really enjoy that stretch. i usually always stop at the spray painted line then "cruise away".

[grazi]

1.Breakneck road in Vernon. Short but sweet.
2.Clinton Road in Jefferson. Bring your gun though so you dont get kidnapped by albinos.

[Jersey Mike]

The S-Curves on Rt. 23-North up by Vernon. Forgot all about those until tonight.

They are alot of fun but tons of cops. I got three speeding tickets in a month there and lost my license for 3 months when I was 17.

[rickyd13]

Resivor road or something like that in cedar grove is really fun but learn the road 1st

[FIcamaroRE92]

Any where by Washington rock off 22 in warren, watchung, sterling is really nice goig up and down the moutain, that my be a hike for you tho

[TaKid455]

There are a few route I use/ take in the sussex cty and the boarding NY & PA counties. Just depends on how long you want to go. Found most of these when getting lost on the bike when I want to get a way. No GPS just good old AAA maps. Some routes more technical than others but all are fun and have interesting landmarks along the way.

Pretty much most roads in sussex in the 500 series are the best and branch out from there. 17 or 6 going towards Montecello is good too.

You would want to keep the group small on these route to avoid traffic bunches and the random slow guy you may need to maneuver around.

Just a forewarning; Newbies to the area will want to stay back and follow some that knows the roads/ lines until you get used to the roads to avoid accidents.


Have fun and be safe. safe dones't always mean legal and vise versa. You have 24' wide pavement. use it to your advantage. <---Motorcycle class instructor once said.

New York State, but Long Meadow Drive in Sterling Forrest. Killer motorcycle route. And for driving i've always been a fan of Rt.20 going through Passaic/Paterson. I used to commute that way quiet often and in the Camaro it was always a blast!

[L695speed]

This one is way out of state...but if people want to go for a long drive it would be worth it. Head out to Connecticut, near Danbury pick up Rt. 7. It winds along the river heading up from I-84 to Lime Rock and beyond. I've done it a couple times, but not in an F body. Once I was trailing a 70 Mach I Mustang hitting speeds that would make people squirm. Problem was, sometimes you'd have to pass people on a two lane road, which in a 4 cylinder fatso of a car requires finesse in the gearbox. Nick and Larry know what I mean, I managed to keep up with them running to the Chatterbox meet LOL.

As for locally, Larry pretty much covered it, 284 heading into upstate NY is a good run too, as are 521 and 622 and a few other 600 series roads. And he is definitely right, Newbies need to follow someone who knows the area. I've had friends from out of town get lost just riding in the passenger seat with me.

MLK or Market street in Newark

[Mezzy]

Rt 287

[zraffz]

Coolest road around here is Hawks Nest in Port Jervis. Defiantly worth the drive if you have never been there.

Their are quiet a few roads around here that are very fun late at night if you want to top out your car and your chance of running into a cop is very slim to none. No areas that combined speed and turns though since the majority of the turns are banked the wrong way.

[rickyd13]

Mezzy newark is a 2 min drive from me and i have alot of friends their just bc of statistics dont label everyone from there

[BonzoHansen]

Nowhere in Newark is safe. If you have a car with paint on it, your just asking for trouble....

Sarcasm is lost on you :kneeslap:

[Mike]

Nowhere in Newark is safe. If you have a car with paint on it, your just asking for trouble. I don't think you'll find anyone willing to go their when anywhere else is safer. Even being in Satan's arms is safer than Newark. Their were more killings in Newark last year than anywhere else in the nation. If you remember the news, their were murders every week for 14 weeks streight. By years end, their were over 100 murders their. Please please noone go to Newark. Even the president would like to see Newark get leveled. Only the AIDS virus is safe in Newark. It's still their,but my dead relative is not. R.I.P. all who perished. No road is worth dying on.

90 in 2011
86 in 2010

Not 100 cool rant though

[V]

I'd like the one road in my town if the traffic light wasn't 5 hours long, I may be slightly exaggerating.

[rickyd13]

i know this is a little off topic but someone at work was telling me that theres this light that is like 5 min bc the road is so narrow that they have to let people go in shifts or was he just messing with me also said it was by one of the last privately owned tolls in the state

[Mezzy]

...

[Mezzy]

...

[Mike]

I already did. It was 90. Not 100

[Mike]

Newark had almost double the murders as Camden in 2011. So it doesn't really rival Camden either

[Mezzy]

Oh ok. My bad. So are you saying its ok then?

Maybe it is, but if it does come to an end, we will all rest easy knowing that I have obtained the ability to be grammatically correct.

[Jersey Mike]

This put a smile on my face.


It's like watching a child grow up before your very eyes. :w00t:

It may be just one of those special moments.

Clinton Road and Union Valley Road up by West Milford are pretty sweet, but I heard there are always cops hanging around there.

If your around the Kinnelon area there are some nice roads that link Kinnelon, Boonton, and Montville, fayson lakes rd is one of them. I live right by there, so its fun for a quick cruise.

If you feel like taking a trip into NY Seven lakes drive to Rt. 218 is an awesome drive. Its the first exit off as soon as you get onto the thruway. Seven lakes is a little bumpy for a bit but 218 completely makes up for it, the road is smooth with a bunch of twisties over looking the hudson, and at the end there's a great pizza place in Cornwall, NY.

I think they repaved 7 Lakes drive if you take the entrance from Rt. 17 into the park. We did a photo shoot by the lakes there a long long time ago. Too much of a public crowd though so it makes it hard for parking all together in the same area.

Regardless its a beautiful road. When I'm home we usually take our motorcycles up Skyline Drive from Rt. 287 make a right towards Skyline Manor, then a left on Long Meadow Road, take that all the way down, and either go left or right, theres a few backroads to the left that lead right back into 7-Lakes drive, go through there and go up to Bear mountain.

I know a lot of great motorcycle riding roads as thats my old stomping ground, but as far as driving a car the roads aren't the greatest.

I gotta check out that route next time I go up there. Theres always a bunch of motorcycles on it when I go, but thats how you know its a good road.

Its basically another way to get to the Renaissance fair for reference.
