Its raining at the moment and we will have to ZigZag across country to pick the customer bikes up and we are hoping to visit another salvage yard

It was good to get in a proper bed again last night after 4 nights camping

What a difference 12 hours makes - now heading North in torrential rain at just 70 degrees - I suspect it is heading for the U.K. and you guys will get it on Wednesday

We are back in North Michigan after a very long day!
Got back at 8pm and then unloaded both trailers by 9PM!
down to the Cedar Tavern (local pub) for a meal and a few beers (Guinness) .
The Kawasaki triples club magazine artile on Mid-Ohio has now reached 17 pages as I constantly wrote it up when we were driving.
Today we picked up a low mileage (JUST4000) 69H1.
Bargains are not always what they seem!!!!

Bit of a late start today as we all had a lie in!

We are going riding out on the peninsular today and will end up in fish town for the obligatory Ice cream

Bit cooler today after it rained all night.I could see the lightning flashs out of the winow

Just the right temperature for riding :smt023

It was a great ride out and will lead to a future article in the magazine 69H1 v 72H2 v 73 Z1 v 74 S3 GIANT road test

We called at fish town for THAT ice cream

And a spirited ride back.
An absolutly brilliant day out covering 95 miles with plenty of smiles

Kenny liked the denco piped S3

AL on the 69H1

Malc on the 72 h2

Rick on the 73 Z1

Arrival at fish town

Obligatory Ice cream by the waterfall at Fishtown

Yesterday was our last day in the USA

We went out riding again and covered 80 miles :smt023
Check out the sign!!

We called back to Cycle-Moore to view there private collection of motorcycles and memorabilia

H1 was a mixture of parts and heavily modified!

The japanese Lilac was a rare bike in the collection

Then on to the local Kawasaki dealer!
There was a Kawasaki sign on the other side of the building HONEST!

And finally we took off from traverse City on our long journey back to the UK with Lake Michigan in the background:smt023
