Vlad, please post up a map if possible. Missy and I have plans to get back up to New Glarus later this year and I'd like to incorporate some ride time up there.

Yah... I hammered it at about 75mph in 2nd and it went a little light in the front, but I've never really had it come up on me more than just a little - and quite frankly, I don't want to.

... just bustin' your chops a little bit. 75mph 4th gear roll-on on the Beemer vs. 2nd gear on the B-King isn't really what I'd call a fair fight...

Just having a little fun. Fell back in after that - no sense in tempting the motorcycle gods and/or law enforcement to strike back.

Ok, this is the route we too to Holy Hill this time, starting from Eagle, WI.
Feel free to modify it as you wish.

Looks like a kick ass time. Sorry I couldn't make it this year. Work needed me in so I had to go. Ended up working from 9am til 6pm. At least I was able to catch SOME of the hawks game. I hated having to miss out on the ride and most of the hawks game.

If u guys decide to do this again, post on up
