We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Here is a favorite of mine ... http://www.motorcycleroads.com/routes/MidWest/MI/MI_5.shtml
I would propose that this might be the best ride we can do on short notice!
The trouble with Kzoo to Jackson is the back roads are boring
And the superslab is... well the superslab!

This would make for a long ride for some however as they have to get to the starting point and then back home from the end point.
Example this would be a 291 mile day for me...

Cabman says...
If all of you bikers and gun toters wanna have a bbq my mom has a huge yard and said I was more then free to use it for an open carry bbq its an easy on and off i94??????
I hate running the superslab... it really is no fun on a bike.
BUT!! I did some more digging and if we drop south there is a nice 2 lane rout that will take us to Jackson.
So I will work out the details and post them on Monday.

My bike was made in the days of a 55mph speedlimit anyway. I'd be much happier on two-lane blacktop rather than slab. Also more chance of hitting a dive or something on the way there or back.
My request would be to start the day kind of early if possible. Get to the destination by mid-day. It's always more fun to start the day out a little chilly and warm up with the day anyway.
Thanks for the planning autosurgeon.

Mastiff and I talked today at the MOC meeting and he is going to propose a better rout as he knows that area better than I do so look for that in the next few days. Once that is done we can iron out meeting points and all of that.

Hope that some day we can ride together.

EM87, that sucks. Hope everything turns out well.
If folks finalize a route there's a good chance I can join the ride. Don't spose anyone has a sissybar they'd sell cheap that would fit an M50 Boulevard? My gf didn't appreciate the ride to Lansing and back with just the wenchpad.
