[QUOTE="K_Flyer, post: 1412611, member: 89366"] Theresa and I are planning a road trip this summer from home in California to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. First section is across northern Nevada and southern Idaho to Yellowstone. Then it looks like across Wyoming, through South Dakota angling north through Minnesota and Wisconsin to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Have to check out Mackinaw City. (Bob Seger "Roll Me Away".). We don't like freeways, big cities or traffic. We are also not campers! Modest motels are more our style, especially with a good brew pub near by. I've promised Theresa that we will stop and look at things. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/IMG] Almost forgot, when is the best time of year to make the trip? Since it looks like a six thousand mile minimum round trip, we will probably need service and tires for our bikes somewhere towards the eastern end, recommendations for service locations will be appreciated. I've already discovered on other trips that a Yamaha dealer may not have much experience with FJR's. One large dealer in northern Idaho said he hadn't seen an FJR before when I took it in for service! Everything in the shop was dirt bikes and UTE's. Not sure what else to add at this point. We will appreciate any advice. As we get farther along in the planning, we'll update our plans here. May get to meet some of you for coffee on the way. [/QUOTE]
