Hi Lee and welcome! New Hampshire is beautiful and in the Fall just gorgeous. Are the leaves changing yet?

Hi Lee and welcome.

New Hampshire is so beautiful in the autumn (fall). Just got to watch all those wet leaves when they're off the trees and on the road!
I last visited there in 1972 (that makes me feel really old!)

Haha thanks all I do love NH but the climate does change at a moments notice (making it difficult to ride sometimes) other than that the leaves have not changed color yet but I am sure they will soon! Have not taken PCX up mount Washington yet but that's not a bad idea ;) think it would make it?

If my 75 year old aunt Mary can make it up Mt Washington on foot, I'm sure your 150cc PCX can too! ;-)

I don't think the hard part will be getting up Mt. Washington, it will be in coming down as it is very hard on the brakes, particularly with a vehicle that doesn't have the ability to gear down.

Did I mention my 75 year old aunt went down Mt. Washington on a skateboard? Lol.

Seriously tho, Kramnala does make a good point...still, I wouldn't worry. But... if ya do do it, definitely TAKE PICS! :-)

I've hiked it 4 times. In fact Franconia Notch was the first place I ever went camping as a kid. So beautiful up there. I just remember thinking the stars were fake! Growing up in NY, I never saw the sky as it really is. The closest I ever came was at the Hayden Planetarium in NYC. So when I went camping up there, and saw the actual thing, It just blew me away.
