Here's what you will want to do with a VFR. Find a long tunnel. Bring it up to speed. Downshift. Gun it OR drop the throttle in that tunnel. Music!

Alaska - now that would be something! My 2013 plan is Highway 1 down to San Diego - I don't think it goes that far north though :cool:

I've been thinking about anything that's bugged me on trips, and these are them: Rain - not necessarily bugged because you know it will happen. I was rainproof with a suit on - except for the "waterproof" gloves. Not. So I bought some over-gloves from Aerostitch for $3. Sunburn - do you...

Agree with Heated Grips - best thing I ever put on my machine - even when the water gets through your gloves and turns your hands black with colour bleeding, you can still feel quite comfortable. Definitely good boots too. Oh, and one thing I tried on my last trip was an UnderArmour type...

I used to have something like this! Just a blank bezel until you pushed the button at which point you'd have the time in lovely LED red. Thing ate batteries like candy.

What bike yer riding make the diff - is she gonna give you miles of comfy or pain

you had me on which bike is which sex. ooooo I am little damp

I was thinking how much the Honda sounded like my Honda mower. I'd take you up on this if my mower drive wasn't broken.

Thanks for posting all the pics. I want to go out there next year!

Day 7 - Conclusion OK I see now the conditions of Upper MI and the U.P. - if you like the camping, and the hiking, boating, fishing, beach volleyball and other outdoor sports, then this is the place to be. In the winter, tons of sled trails too - but motorcycling, not so much. Too much...

Day 6 - Agent of SHIELD Started out from White River this morning under a rather gloomy sky. Looking outside, it was dry as a bone, so I loaded up the bike and headed out with no rain gear on. About 15 km on, the road suddenly became very, very wet indeed. Some cloud had burst and hammered...

Day 5 - TCH Express Started out from Thunder Bay and was getting very sad, as for about 100km east there is nothing to see. Then past Nipigon, there was a beautiful change. Rock mountains, scenic panoramas of the lake and the TCH was nice and windy with great elevation changes. One thing...

Day 4 - The Great Hot North. The weather is teasing me. 26C and nothing but sunshine, no wind to speak of. Can it get any better? Yes! The roads are now getting a little more interesting, with some nice sweepers and even big tunnels, like this one... The North Shore in the Minnesota area...

You know it's 29+ degrees up here eh? Good thing I brought my warm gear! Interesting find anecdote: I was in a Target buying some new earplugs, and I took a little walk around the store. Was passing by the media department, and I spied these strange looking boxes with the Beatles on them...

Day 3 - Wisconsin. Well, here I am in the land of green and gold. When you cross the border, you are required to stop, be held down by 2 defensive backs, force fed cheese and Old Milwaukee, and then sent on your way with a Packers tat on your forehead. OK, it's not quite that bad, but you...

I know! Most of the time in the US I only find this level of incompetent driving in the huge cities.

You really should.

Saw a bright blue Strom in Marquette today, loaded to the teeth for touring... sure I will see some of your sights as I work my way back across Superior!

DAY 2. Another cool morning but this time, nothing but sunshine, oh yeah. Headed north towards the promising sounding town of Paradise. Zoom. Did I miss it? Oh, I did, and continued on to Whitefish Point, which was an interesting little Coast Guard outlet with a shipwreck museum. Not far...

Day 1. WTF? Rainclouds?? Every single forecast was cool, but sunny. Grrrrrr. Anyway, headed out late after waiting for some drizzle to pull out of London, and headed 402 to Sarnia, then I69 to Flint, and I75 to where I am now, St. Ignace. Today was the slab run so there isn't much to...
