MI to WI - Night 2

Night 2 ended at home around 5:00 PM.  It was a long day of riding but most of it was spent sitting in traffic around Chicago.
After we hit the WI boarder we made our way East to ride along the lake front. Around Racine my speedo decided to stop working.  Looks like the gear got damaged so a new one is on order. 
All and all the trip was a success and the bikes surviced! 
Now to plan the next trip.

MI to WI - Day 2

Day 2 started around 8:30 with repacking the bikes and fueling up.  We made it through Gary without am issue and stopped in Chicago for lunch around noon.  We're taking a 5 minute water brake in Noth Chicago before we push up into WI. 
The only issue today was a squeaky nut on Doug ' s right hand grip. A bit of grease saves the day.

MI to WI - Night 1

Day 1 was a success and we're stopped in Portage for the night.  The only issue I ran into today was one of my mirrors coming loss and needing a little tightening.  All and all i would call that a successful 150 mile ride.

MI to WI - Planning

So the Rally survived its first winter in the great state of WI.  I've had it out for a few weeks and everything is working great, so now it's time to plan the next trip.  We will take the ferry across Lake Michigan and drive back around the South side of the lake.
