Some of us from SE Michigan (mostly F and X guys) and a few from out of state are riding next weekend, 7-23-16, in and around the Irish Hills of Michigan.
All bikes are welcome.
The ride originates in Plymouth, MI, through Chelsea, Manchester, stopping for a tour of a classic auto restoration shop, lunch on the lake at Jerry's, going by MIS, through Stockbridge, going to HELL and back to Plymouth.
If interested, we'll meet at the Chase Bank parking lot (south end) on the corner of N. Territorial Rd. and Sheldon Rd.
Stands up at 9:30. The address for your GPS is 235 Sheldon Rd. Plymouth, MI 48170
Always room for more, hope to see you there.

Re: Michigan Irish Hills Ride 7-23-16
If I can get my 1200 sorted by then, I may actually try to hit this one. The Irish Hills is right in my backyard, and even though I'm starting at the "wrong" end (I'm down in Adrian) it still may be a fun ride.
I still need to rebuild my front shocks and get it plated, but it's very doable in a week. I have my GL1000, but the back tire is sketchy enough that I don't want to go much farther on it at all until I change it.

We should be in Manchester about 10:30 if you want to join us there.Lucien Harpress wrote:If I can get my 1200 sorted by then, I may actually try to hit this one.

We'll see. My shocks are done, but I'm still waiting on a part or two to show up in the mail before the bike is roadworthy. If I get them, distance shouldn't be a problem. My 1200 (knock on wood) runs like a top, and loves to eat miles, so a bit of a longer ride should be okay.
I'll know more closer to the end of the week, but I'll keep you posted either way.

You should remember that it's peace of mind you're after and not just fixing the machine. R.Pirsig
