Traverse City / Leelanau County MI

[twr1776]

I have an Aunt with a summer place in Leland that I visit and the surrounding area is an excellent area for riding. M-22 is a scenic highway that is part of the Lake Michigan Circle Tour with some decent twisties. The smaller county roads in the area are even better. The Sleeping Dunes National Lakeshore and the Glen Lake areas are also very scenic with some good roads to check out as well.

I have some land in Williamsburg that I hope to build on. I mostly go to that area for the skiing at the Homestead. Great place for family ski vacation. Everytime I drive around the Glenn lakes I wish I was on 2 wheels. Over by lake Michigan is very pretty. Just gotta stay out of Traverse in the summer. Bad traffic. All those people like me trying to escape Detroit.

Hey Tim,

So you are organizing a ride up there? ha ha

Some M-22 pictures from when my son, his wife & I rode up there a couple years ago. But we only went to M-72 then into Traverse City (to my in-laws).

Me & daughter in law.






I could make another trip to go further on M-22.

Redman...mighty slick looking bike,looking at your pics. I like the UJM's but don't know a whole lot about Suzuki.Is your bike fitted with the factory fairing, bags and back rest? Looks like a runner..know a winner when I see one:-)

Conrail, you are correct Daves bike has the OEM bags & fairing. It is also one of the nicest GK's I have seen. Dave, next time you visit the in-laws try to take the long way around if you can through Lelend, Northport, and Suttons Bay. I have not been on M-22 much south of Empire but the stretch between Leland and Northport is very good and Northport to Suttons Bay is not quite as good but still very nce.
