    My wife devl and I have traveled the Upper Peninsula of Michigan extensively for many years, she has an 08 spYder we live in Northeast Michigan (Oscoda). If you are planning a ride up there I would suggest you check out U.P Cruising website they rate all the biker friendly places to go and rate the roads that are best for m/c touring.

    Thanks for the link RTaz.

    I have been going to the UP every year to snowmobile, but that is a whole different animal than knowing what roads are best for biking. This should be a big help.

    When the time gets closer maybe you wouldn't mind me picking your brain a little as to where we should ride. The one road I know I like is highway 2. We take that road for a spell when going to Grand Marais to snowmobile, it is beautiful.

    Been riding up there for many years, I used to put on an annual event for a honda club I was a State representative for, we had up to 100 bike go on it for like 10yrs. I would be happy to share my info on rides and places to see and stay at while you are up there. It all depends on where you plan on going. I will say H-58 (Hurricane Highway)and Curly Lewis Hwy (Brimely Rd.west) are two great roads but I also know of some that may not be as well known.
