    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm getting plans together for a long weekend trip to the upper penninsula next week.

It's about 9.5 hrs from Lansing to Houghton (got to visit son #1 at college), then onward to Copper Harbor. Some really nice twisties up there.

Another potential stop is Tahquamenon Falls...

Any suggestions for additional/alternative stops?
 
OH hell yes! I was just there host the "Midwest F ride" this July. H-58 has just been paved from Grand Marais to Munising. 58 heads west out of Grand Marais right at the corner of THE LAKE SUPERIOR BREWING CO.
Also, don't forget 10 curves rd. in Curtis.(when you go to Kim's Talley Ho bar.)
Of course, a road on the nations top ten list is Brockway mountain road in the Kewanaw. Better dress warm.

Wish I was going with you.
 
Nice! Thanks for the suggestions!! I cannot believe that I missed the Brockway when I went to Copper Harbor last trip! We stayed along the shoreline on 26, never realizing the "other" choice so close. Well, you can bet that's gonna get rectified!!

58 will also get appropriate attention!!
 
While you are in the Kewanaw, ride up the eastern side to GAY Mich & go to the GAY bar. They specialize in footlong hotdogs & sell T-shirts that say "I had a footlong at the GAY bar" No kidding! Fort Wilkins is a good stop too.

Come to Stockbridge Sunday & I will tell you more about "Da U P".
Bring a vintage bike.

I was there...but got so caught-up in looking at the cool bikes, I forgot to look you up (sorry). Really nice show.

Great show wasn't it!. So many special & rare pieces. You would have to go to The Barber or Mid Ohio to beat it. Suzi does a great job with this event.
 
What my friend & I liked most was when the owner of the 1914 Harley fired-it up and it ran like one might imagine it did when new!

Other bikes also competed for my glazed-over eyes too. I hope it's offered again, because I'll become a regular at that show!
 
Wish I was there?

Nice trip,
I want to ride up to the UP myself,
but I also want to take my kayak out along Pictured Rocks.
Can't figure what would be best.
Can't find the time to do either.
