Northern Michigan
Well the old man and myself took the scooters up north to suttons bay michigan along M22. We rode 3 days and let me tell you there is some beautifull country there.
Michigan isnt the best place to live right now, i live 20 minutes east of Lansing, but norther michigan is where my dad is from and it is amazing to ride. Traverse city, cherlavoix, cheboygan, glen Harbor has a great place called boonedocks to eat at. just simply a great ride.
I know this thread is useless with out pics, and i got all the way up there and forgot my camera, i know i know i cant believe i forgot it, how dumb.
But for all you out there thinking about ever riding michigan, i recomend going through some northern towns of michigan. we didnt have time to get the UP but hopefully we can next year.

Yeah i have aunts and uncles in grayling, fairview, and mio. MIO is where my dad is from.
Man some great roads with some nice curves up there!
I got my 08 SG at the end of last july and i have been taking it a little easy because i came from a crotch rocket, so pushing that weight around is a little different to me, so this was my first good ride through hills and curves on the SG and she did awesome, stage 1 kit, man the rineharts hummed, was a great ride.

I just got back from 10 days in Alden, man I love it there. Great weather, beautiful lakes, and lots of open roads. My only complaint is if you get off the main road the secondary roads are ruff as you know what. If it wasnt for the winters I would move there in a second. I cant remeber the names of all the little towns we rode through but I loved everyone of them. Kinda sucked the weather was mid 70's for highs and mid 40's for lows and I came home to Middle TN to highs in the 90's with 90% humidity. The change back is about to kill me.

We are taking off Thursday for Leelanau Penninsula, Tunnel of Trees and just wherever!
Beautiful rides.
I know if Michigan got rid of the Helmet Law it would be a huge money maker for the state just from bikers.
