One of our readers, Madeleine Clark, recently wrote in to tell us about a fantastic-sounding motorcycle-related Lakes Region, New Hampshire, fall event:

Leaftoberfest, a leaf peeping bike rally, will be held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 3-4, at Laconia Harley-Davidson, 239 Daniel Webster Hwy (Rte 3), in Meredith, N.H. Escorted leaf peeping rides will take off on both days at 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.. Live music starts at noon and Laconia Harley-Davidson will be offering demos on the new 2010 Harleys. Participate in The Bike show also offers, on Oct 3rd, the chance to win a $1,000 in prizes. Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant, of Meredith, N.H., will be offering some great food!. For more information on the event, please log onto www.laconiaharley.com

What better place to see the New England fall foliage than New Hampshire? Colors have become more vibrant in most sections of New Hampshire as of late, and will continue to do so, especially with some of the more recent cool-to-cold nights throughout the "Granite State." Additionally, we have heartily recommended Hart's Turkey Farm through the years for its phenomenal turkey dishes. Hart's has seemingly been around forever, and is deservedly a household name to Lakes Region residents. Laconia Harley-Davidson chose well on choosing the right restaurant to cater its event!
