Sucks they had it on a holiday weekend. Myself, I am not spending it in Milwaukee. Roads are rougher with the frost heaves, I have noticed that compared to the south

It's over. But you didn't tell me you were coming, I would have cleared my calendar

I bought the canvas SE one, you can’t beat 100 bucks and HD still probably makes a profit on all of it, I also got a heavy long sleeve for 12.50.
we had plans to go back to the bike night, ended up grilling instead, going to go to tomorrows nights event, probably last one for us this season.

the sectioned concrete is ridiculously rough, I though NY Potholes were bad! These road suck even in a car, my lowered Hot Rod is the worst, not much suspension travel it’s like riding a rigid thumping on every section.

So are y’all saying I can bypass Milwaukee for better roads?

We rode around Lake Michigan and did the Museum the first couple of weeks of August and wore our jackets most of the time. Museum was nice and we ate at the restaurant. Got a good burger there.
