XV1100SE Posted August 22, 2013 Author #51 Posted August 22, 2013 I was tempted to call the HD or Honda dealer. I'm sure they would have done it for me. Yamaha Duluth... obviously didn't want the business. And they are listed on the Yamaha-USA site as a top dealer.

From Duluth we'l get across the Mackinaw Bridge today and find a place in the Michigan IP for the night. From there... home. We've been on the road since July 28th so getting home will be nice. Too bad I have to be back to work on Aug 26th.
XV1100SE Posted August 23, 2013 Author #54 Posted August 23, 2013 Didn't make it to Mackinaw City... but did make it to Manistique Michigan. Will be a bit of a push tomorrow but should be home tomorrow night. That will make 27 days on the road and around 10,000km
BradT Posted August 23, 2013 #55 Posted August 23, 2013 Not a bad ride after Mackinaw 4 lanes and not busy. Be sure to stop at Tony's in Birchrun, think it is exit 236 Sounds like a nice trip Brad

That will make 27 days on the road and around 10' date='000km[/quote'] I remember the good view and feeling as we crossed the Bluewater Bridge back into Canada after our 35 day Venture West. Hope you guys enjoy the same feeling. Welcome back. Have enjoyed your posts.
XV1100SE Posted August 25, 2013 Author #57 Posted August 25, 2013 Made it back last night after an 880km final day riding. Made for a long day but was nice getting home. Already planning for a trip to the East Coast next year.

It was great to finally put some faces to your vro names and to compare notes on safety chrome, mods and who to contact for various parts that I need to get. Glad youre home safe and sound. Brian
