Default Not sure where this road will lead...

I started out on a road trip a few days back, and, if no one objects, thought I would post a few pictures along the way. The first leg was to Buffalo, NY, and then across to Ontario. I'm now over 1000 miles in, past Tunnel of Trees, Mackinac Bridge, on the Upper Peninsula and headed to Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Any objections?

Nice pics. Thanks for posting them. That's what this forum in part is for.

I suggest going to Green Bay and seeing Lambeau Field, if you are a football guy, pretty f-in amazing. And they have SB #1 and #2 trophies in their HOF.

In Milwaukee hit the HD Museum and heading into town form the north the factory tour is also pretty good.

Have fun keep us posted.

From Buffalo NY, I crossed through Ontario, entering Michigan, and hugging the shore of Lake Huron around the "thumb" to Bay City. From there I cut across the state to Traverse City, a 550 mile day.

About an hour before I got to Traverse City, I saw out of the corner of my eye my right saddlebag fly off and bounce down the road. A seemingly inebriated, and extremely kind, man grabbed it out of the road, saving it from further harm. He held it up and waived as I circled back.

Just prior to leaving, I'd installed some third party anti-theft "security" *****, and they had failed (I'll post more on this). My mistake. That evening I called Zips Harley, who were open until 10, and they suggested I visit Classic Motor Sports in Traverse City. Next morning, I ran down there, they had the 2014 recall clips that fit perfectly. Then I was off, following the Lake Michigan shore to "Tunnel of Trees", and then Mackinac Bridge.

More to follow...
