Default in wisconsin

firstly the harley museum in milwaukee. then north on i43 to green bay. then take hwy 41 to fond du lac thru oshkosh. from there, hwy 23w turning into hwy 82 at i39 to hwy 13s( or east) to the dells, your ultimate destination. go when its warm and you can either avoid the tourist areas or not. plenty of reasonable motels and clean campsites. GREAT AREA! then take hwy 12s to madison maybe stopping at natural bridge sp. drink some beer and eat some cheese and sausage along the way.

I43 from Milwaukee to Green Bay is very boring. Check this site out:

Just checked out the website above. Pretty cool. Check out the Western Uplands part of the Wisconsin map. Take SR35 from Praire du Chein to Lacrosse, then SR33 from Lacrosse to Baraboo then south on Hwy 12 to Sauk City and take SR60 back to Praire du Chein. It forms a triangle. I have taken it a couple of times and you shoul see quite a few bikes.
