FALL 2016 ISSUE 02 / VOL. 01 easured in a straight line, the entire coast of Maine from Kittery to Lubec isn’ t even 230 miles long. Visit the Maine coast, however, and you realize that straight lines rarely apply. Maine has 3,478 miles of curvy, in-and-out, tidal shoreline. In the U. S., only Alaska, Florida and Louisiana have more.
Riding a motorcycle is a great way to see Maine’ s winding coast, especially the rugged Down East region. There’ s not really a clear-cut point where you’ re suddenly Down East, but an argument can be made that you’ re there by Bucksport and still there all the way to the Canadian border. It’ s a beautiful region to explore, so two dozen sport-touring riders decided to meet for a long weekend Down East.
