Michigan bound 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
Heading to michigan in the morning to see some family and friends. I love my therapy sessions lol, least that's what I call a roadtrip. Hope the weather and the traffic cooperate. Might slide up to the U.P. while I'm there, who knows. Any places up there of interest that my fellow r* brethren know about that I could check out while there? Im open to suggestions

Made it to Howell, but Damn my a$$ is sore, gotta find a good seat. The sticker just ain't cutting it on the long hauls. Gas mileage was terrible, only averaged 39 mpg, what do you guys think? What mods could help me improve it?

BadDad,

If you want some lower penninsula beauty, go to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, take the scenic drive to the lookout. Amazing views of Lake MI & the Manitou Islands. If you want one of the best MC runs in the LP, google Tunnel of Trees Michigan. 35 miles of pristine road under a mantle of trees along the coastline. I hear there's good eats and lodging.

Ride Safe.
