On my Michigan Trip, I finally wore through my Grip Puppies. They were good for 25K miles of hard riding. Replacements were $20 and I just love these things. I have long fingers and they increase the circumference perfectly.
Vacation almost complete. Stopped in #NiagaraFalls on my way back to New Hampshire.
SORRY for no ride update today. Iâm caught in a 24 hour rain storm in St. Ignace MI. So i hopped on the fairy to #mackinacisland for a night. $100 BNB and a warm meal. Got to do some laundry and est some whitefish. Going to hit the bar. Trip resumes tomorrow once the rain storm passes. Great day …
Bed time
Rosie survived. Just a lot of mud. Time for food.
No big deal just miles and miles of sink holes.
Pushed myself too hard today. Dropped the bike 4 times in thick mud. Tomorrow will be a rest day.
Better photo when iâm home next week. Drone shot of the tip of northern Michigan
Now, it is time for some food and a beer. Not a bad camping spot. The entire state park is empty.
It took four hours of writing, three of which off-road and about 30 miles of tough to rain to make it to the very north most point of Michigan. Worth it. Drone photo soon. #HighRockBay
Then, I crossed this which was eventful
After riding for 25 miles down a terrible road, I came to this blocked road. I spent an hour finding the best spot to cross and finally made it without dropping the bike.#upperpeninsula #watercrossing #Adventurebike
Today, I found a tunnel
Today, I got the hell out of Dodge. #Advrider #upperpeninsula
During the tumble earlier, I noticed my handlebars were out of whack. 5 minute parking lot fix and itâs all straight again. kids, thatâs why you should alwasy travel with a T40-T60. Those lower triple tree bolts on the #R1200GS are T50s.
Lighthouse or Lookout? #CoastGuardPoint in #GrandMarais.
Oops. #DirtNap #R1200GS.
