The '09 FZ1 and '09 FZ6R are being loaded with luggage tonight...
My wife and I are taking the bikes to Michigan next week. We're going to visit my best friend from the Army who also was our Best Man at our wedding. We've never done a trip this long before but we've been doing a lot of 100 - 300 mile days to warm up to the idea.
Sept 4th, we will leave NH and strike out for upstate NY. We'll be stopping for the night in Webster.
Sept 5th, we leave in the morning and head through Canada, stopping at Niagara Falls on the Canadian side for some pics and a break. We'll be coming into Michigan via Port Huron and our friend lives about 25 miles beyond.
While there for the week, we have no idea where we might be going. Most of this is to relax and catch up with him and his wife as it has been a couple years. I do know we'll be taking one day to hit Frankenmuth where I'm sure stuff will be bought and shipped to NH and Labor Day is a Ren Faire.
Our return will be Sept 12th from MI to the Three Rivers/Liverpool area where we will stop for the night. Sunday, Sept 13th, we'll be making the last leg of the journey back home to NH.
The whole trip is planned with no major highways and no tolls except the ones we cannot avoid (in Canada). I hope to get some pics as we stop to stretch and hydrate once in a while. We're packing light and taking no laptops, etc.
So, I'll be offline for most if not all of that week of Labor Day. I'm going to take mental notes along the way and will report on the whole trip when we return.
I hope the Scala Q2 Multisets hold up for this trip!
I'll have very limited access to Internet for the week, but I'll try and get a moment to post when we've made it to MI safely and let you know how her FZ6R held up.
Wish us luck and an uneventful trip!
