PA 87

General Comments:
PA 87 is fantastic motorcycle touring road. It offers plenty of gorgeous scenery and plenty of mostly gentle curves.   PA 87 is 65+ miles of motorcycle touring enjoyment for everyone!

Between Jersey Shore and Coudersport – it offers 60+ miles without even one stop sign and almost no driveways or intersections to speak-of;

INTRO to Motorcycle Touring in PA

by Brad Morgan
Pennsylvania Motorcycle Touring
Pennsylvania is one of the better states to live for a motorcycle riding enthusiast.  Its rugged terrain, vast forest land, and over 120,000 miles of paved roads provide an endless supply of worthy two-wheeled tours.
In my opinion, the real “sweet spot” for the best riding experiences can be found within an [...]
