Never been to MI's UP you say.....this pic pretty much sums it all up.....
And a quick preview of things to come................
OK, so where do we begin??? Lets start by saying, I suck at ride reports. Lets add to that, that we are not "adventure riders". In fact, this is our first ADV type ride. We had no plan and poor equipment. We suck at taking photos when we should. This report will not document the true epicness of this adventure for all 5 of us. What an experience.....
But we'll get to that.........Lets see how Juan is doing............
We'll it appears that Juan is happy so lets meet the all the riders........
In order....Pauly, Misko, Gino, Juan and Wade......
So the first three load up
So did the other two
And head across the mighty Mac
These are the chariots…..3 DR650’s, 1 KTM 690 and Juans DR3fiddy……..
5hrs in, ……welcome to one of the most unique places to stay in the UP…..words, pictures and stories do it no justice. We are friends with the owner, who allowed us the grand tour…..
Yes, that’s a car through the wall…how would you heat the barn???
Juan Likey
UP Tanning Booth
A zip line??? What would you do…..
Alright, enough of the drunken shenanigans. Most of what occurred that night cant be posted because it took place underground (seriously), or is not for public consumption…….
