Nothing’s better than riding the open road on a warm summer day - breeze in your face, sun on your back, nothing but blue skies and green trees!  That’s why we’ve compiled the top 5 roads according to Motorcycleroads.com for your Massachusetts ‘to ride’ list, as well as some rider reviews describing the trips:

• Ride to Salem, Gloucester, and Annisquam Village
• “The North Shore is a terrific place to spend the day, or a weekend. With several scenic towns, beaches, whale watches, museums, deep sea fishing expeditions, and more; the north shore offers diverse natural wonders, from salt marshes, to rocky coves. And, it's all a short ride from Boston.”
• Monadnock RunQuabbin ReservoirRoute 119Wachusett Reservoir Area
• “Great Ride. Start in eastern suburban MA, and work your way through scenic southern NH.”
• The Quabbin Reservoir is HUGE. By looping around it, you get a sampling of forests, views, farmland, and sleepy little towns. 
• “If you start in Groton, MA, You can follow RT 119 pretty much into Brattleboro VT. The road winds into Southern NH, through some pretty towns and farmland, and then into Brattleboro, which is just over the NH line. It takes less than 2 hrs. There's some pretty Falls at the Ashburnham State Forest, if you want to stretch your legs.”
• “Forests, farms, and a honking big Reservoir. Lovely tiny town centers and some of the best farmland to be seen near Boston.”

While you are enjoying the scenic rides, remember safety always comes first.  According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcycle helmet use has increased over 20% in the past 5 years and continues to save over 1,900 motorcyclists’ lives each year.  So be sure to protect yourself and your bike with a helmet and some great Massachusetts motorcycle insurance this summer.
