I want to do a UP trip myself. I'm itching to see the Mackinac Bridge and ride over it!

We should try to do that for a rally one year. Get a big group of TWFixers to do the UP.

I did it on the DRZ and fuck was it scary... they blocked off all but the grated portion... and had big box trucks in the paved portion... which held the wind back...then when you passed them, you'd get a blast that would send me literally sliding sideways on the grate... and of course I had to be in front of some ass that kept riding my ass across the bridge, had I gone down, he would have probably been over me before he realized it.

but the area up there is GORGEOUS! like Trip said, a rally up there would ROCK.. but I think it should be a traveling rally... like a rally to circle the great lakes... like a week long...

It would have to be, we couldn't spend that much time in one spot and then have to book it home. It would have to start further south and just go in shorter jumps north and then south again. Traveling in a big group is not fast. LOL

no, but I seriously doubt all that many people would be down for it. shit, I don't even have a running bike at the moment. but maybe if not a circle of the lakes, maybe a run from the dragon to the bridge and back... but I think that'd be boring as I've done it... and the best part of MI is in the UP
