I'm going to catch 119 on the way up and plan to turn right after the bridge onto rt 134 to get started. I've got 4 or 5 days. Any suggestions?

Go to the BMWRA web site and check out the pictures for thier rally held there in June. I Found Copper Harbour a nice place to visit. Have a good ride.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and the Keweenaw peninsula should NOT be missed.
And you MUST try the pasties.
Have fun!:wave

Hmm ,only 4 to 5 days lots to see.
The Au Sable Dunes, in Grand Marais, in Marquette-- The Yooper Dome(Superior Dome) , Jean Kay's across the street for a good Pasty and a pop. (Pronounced Pawp), Presque Isle Park, Sugar Loaf Mountain and the Marquette Maritime museum. Ishpeming has Da Yooper's Tourist Trap. Hwy 94 from Shingleton to Manistique is a nice ride. Fayette Park south of Manistique is kinda cool as well. Look out for the deer, bears etc.

I live closer to Detroit but I love the UP.The Mackinaw bridge alone is worth the trip.Sault Sante Marie is A great town with A main drag of shops,bars,and resturants,and lots to do and see.Taquominon falls is nice .And White fish point too.If you go west,Copper harbor,Chistmass,Naubinway,the"devil's wash basin".Have Fun.:groovy

Appreciate the feedback. I just bought an R100GS so I'll give the UP a try pretty soon.
