Hello Spyder,
I just sent you a message to your inbox a few minutes ago. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I posted a mini life story for all to see here a few days ago to get aquainted so to speak under another topic on the board. ANYWAYS....the trip was great....Me and the wife and another couple left on Thursady the 9th and headed up to Wilkes Barre, PA and spent a few days there riding the back roads and seeing some of the Pocono's and went by the race track at Long Pond. From there we headed up to Niagara Falls and stopped at the Corning Glass plant in Corning, NY on the way. We spent a few days at the Falls doing all the tourist stuff, (We stayed on the Canada side) and then headed across Canada and crossed the border at Detroit. We spent the night with some friends in Fenton, MI and then took off up the east coast of MI all the way up into the UP crossing the Mackinaw Bridge and then drove across the UP and down the coast of Wisconsin. We stopped at the football stadium in Green Bay before arriving in Milwaukee. We stayed in Milwaukee for 2 days in went to the H-D H-Q on Juneau Ave. and we did the tour of the Capitol Dr plant and the tour at the Miller Brewery plant along with hitting all three Harley shops there. After that we took the new high speed ferry that started year before last from Milwaukee across Lake MI to Muskegon,MI where we spent the night in Fenton again. After that we stopped in Dearborn at the Henry Ford Museum and also did the tour of the Ford truck plant there too before finally getting back on the 19th. It was a GREAT trip. Only had bad weather ONE day out of the whole trip. The FUNNIEST thing about the whole trip was the look on the faces of the folks that were coming and going from the corp office on Juneau Ave. when I pulled up and parked right at the front door on the GoldWing !! The folks would stare from a distance and then when they walked by close enough for only us to hear they would say stuff like nice bike ....I wish I could get a closer look etc. That morning at the hotel we were staying at an engineer for the Motor Company pulled up on his car and was admiring the bike but didn't really say that much until Dan tiold him I had a few Harley's too and then he perked up and started talking about how cool the bike was the way I have it tricked out and all with the custom wheels and the two tone paint job. I explained to him that the other couple we were with was riding an Ultra and that we had rode the GoldWing in order to be able to communicate with them on such a long trip. Truth is I would rather be in the saddle of that one anyhow on that long of a trip. It is a lot more comfortable and the wife doesn't get wind battered that bad either. Anyways...see ya around town...Chris
