Hey all. I know this is a little early, but I wanted throw it out there anyway.
I was born and raised in Milwaukee. Been here my whole life, except for a brief time when I was kid, and my Dad got transferred to Iowa, and a stint for the Army.
So anyway, I wanted to start a thread to give anyone some information on stuff here. The 110th is coming up, and I while I can't really help you with "official" MoCo information, I can give a general lay of the land, and help you plan you time here.
Jayman I have rooms up around Glendale, is that going to be decent area, will I have to worry about scooter. Looking forward to 110th, should be a hoot!

Glendale is ok. I've got a friend who's a Glendale cop. I'd bet you're on Port Washington road. Easy freeway access, in between Milwaukee and Thiensville. Your sled will be one of hundreds. Well watched. No need to be afraid.
Great dealer in Thiensville. Suburban Harley. They'll have street parties there. Always a good time.
Jayman, question, we're running up to the UP of Mi. Long ways to 110th, anything around Wawa Ont. Ca. Or should in just cruse the upper pen. Plan on seeing all we can while we're up that way. Any info would be a plus.

The furthest north I've been on my scooter is arborvitae Wisconsin. Fantastic dealer up there as well Northern lights Harley-Davidson. As far as Canada goes, I can't help.
The UP isn't really much to see, along the main highway through it's pretty sparse. The route from Sault Ste. Marie up to Wawa is alright I guess, mostly just trees and rock cuts along the sides of the road though. There's a pretty nice national park just past Wawa if you're camping, but I'm not so sure it'd be worth the drive up all on it's own.
I'll be driving the UP across from Sault Ste. Marie all the way through to N. Dakota in a month and a half. It's been a few years since the last time I did it, but as I recall it's not the most exhilarating trip. Bunch of lodge pole pine forests and unincorporated townships along a secondary highway for the most part.
Just double checked the route I'm taking, coming from Milwuakee I guess you go through the SW part of the UP a good ways before you get to M-28. I've done that stretch a couple times as well, which is reasonably better than the route I was thinking of with my above post. You should have a decent ride.
