British Motorcycle Gear

Princeton Battlefield State Park

On a recent trip to New Jersey, Sue and I took a ride around Princeton and we found ourselves at the Princeton Battlefield Site.  I’m embarrassed to admit that even though I grew up in this area, I didn’t know much about this place.  It is amazing.  It’s the place where the tide of the Revolutionary War turned.   Will Krakower (a young historian and Rutgers grad) led us on an impressive tour.

Good times, and a great tour (thank you, Will).  If you ever find yourself in Princeton, this place is definitely worth a visit.  Better yet, plan a visit when the Princeton Battlefield Society is giving one of their tours.   You’ll love it.  You might want to have breakfast at PJ’s in Princeton on the morning of the tour.  It’s the best breakfast in town and it’s the place we all hit when we played hooky back in high school.

Surprisingly, there are many great places to ride in New Jersey.  A great weekend might include a ride along the Delaware River with stops at Washington’s Crossing and New Hope, Pennsylvania, followed by a Sunday Princeton Battlefield Site tour.
