Looks like a beautiful trip. I'll have to add it to my list. Nice pictures.

My son got his license at 16 and we did the MSF course together. We still ride together whenever we can. He's soon to be 23 and is in law school. We did a 2800 mile ride together last year and had a blast. He rides my 2003 FJR and has no problem putting a long day in the saddle. It is a...

Better to be lucky than smart. At least he knew when to quit.

Sorry to hear about the loss of the 03. It is the quickest FJR of them all. I love my 03 but I also own an 08 and the heat management, better shocks, ABS, and adjustable handlebars more than compensate for the loss in acceleration. I'm glad your injuries were relatively minor and was happy to...

We had a guy like Rudy in our town. A retired guy who rode his bicycle everywhere and volunteered as a track coach at one of the local high schools until a driver who "didn't see him" took him out. The only thing good I could see about the situation was that he died doing what he loved to do...

Whoa, sounds like you got balls of steel. Glad you had the experience and skill to pull off that extreme maneuver. It is hard to anticipate where the risk will be coming from. I'm glad that you are safe, but it sounds like the Duc rider needs a serious talk. It doesn't sound like he is...

I have used the Second look tank bra and the Yamaha magnetic tank bag on both my GenI and GenII FJRs with no problems.

We all feel your pain over the loss of the bike, but I echo the relief that you and Kenra came through the mess relatively unscathed. There are some accidents you just can't avoid. Sounds like you have developed quite a lot of wisdom over the years. Glad to hear that ATGATT paid off for both...

+1 on Skype. I have a son in Taiwan for the year and it is great to be able to see and hear him at the same time. The only trick is picking a time to connect. We usually set up a time to talk by email or text message. We also used Skype when my youngest son was in Germany last year and had no...

Michael, We get older but we don't always get wiser. Sorry to hear about your mishap. Don't be too hard on yourself, we wouldn't be human if we didn't make mistakes every now and then. Just make sure to get your wounds checked out be a real medical person. I hope you heal real soon.

So sad. It sounds like he had a fight with his inner demons and the demons won. I wish you peace, Grasshopper.

Originally I thought about taking a leisurely cruise out Route 50 thru the Midwest to Minnesota, but I figured the coolness of Superior and Canada might be welcome in mid July. That is why we decided on the northern route.

Got our passports all updated and ready to go. Just hope we don't have to wait in line too long at the border.

Great ride report and pictures. I'm jealous. Kudos to your wife for letting you have your adventure.

You guys are great. I'm getting some good ideas. I like to rest in a nice motel after a good day of riding. In my younger years I did some tent camping but really look forward to the soft bed and the warm shower. Any comments about the weather around Superior in mid July? How cold is it...

Great that you are able to turn your riding into a family activity. I'm glad to see your daughter wearing appropriate safety gear despite the heat. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the reply Russ. I checked out your site but wasn't sure what folder the pictures of Superior were stashed in. Ken

My son and I are planning a trip from western New York to Minnesota via Canada. We are hoping to tour below and above Lake Superior via the UP of Michigan and Canada. We will be traveling in mid July to visit another son in Minneapolis and friends in Duluth. I have not spent much time in...

Nice job. I might just have to check that out sometime. Thanks.

Go for it. You won't regret it.
