Hell, Michigan that is! TheRedOnes & a buddy of his on a new Thruxton are riding out to my place to ride some nice twisties around here and make our way to the Waterloo area then into Hell for some grub and to kick lies and tell tires... We'll probably arrive at the Dam Site Inn around 5-ish. Good food and good looking waitstaff(usually). Anyone interested?

Cheers

That sounds great- we just have too much going on this weekend though- too late too far.  Thank for the invite- it's great to see it on the Michigan side!   Bigok

Hell is about 30 minutes north west of Ann Arbor. Nice roads, good food. and the staff is actually cute.

You can be the mayor for $50. too.

If you want to meet up w/ us in Michigan Center(suburb of Jackson) and ride some sweet roads you've probably never ridden before let me know and I will PM you the coordinates or directions & phone #. We should be leaving my place around 3. There is a gas station a stones throw from my house and I have a route to get to Hell with minimal straight roads that have decent scenery.

The only road in and out off Hell has some nice bends to it, I went thru there a few weeks ago and had lunch (jalapeno Burger  Thumbsup) and had to be cautious because there was some road delamination in a few of those corners i wasn't expecting. But over all it is a nice ride with some great riding in the area. (say hi to the pirates for me Lol)

I might make the trip to Hell this weekend.  So about 5 huh.  If I am there, look for a C-14 with skull red handgrips.  I will be the big feller.  If its not to cold, maybe the wife will be along on the Bandit.



I would be up for a ride from hell to climax to paradise.  Have rode to all of them before.  Dexter Trail from Mason to Pickney/almost Hell is a great road.  I have had the jalapeno Burger  in Hell, heck took my oldest son and one of my best friends to Hell.  

Back to the Hell/Climax/Paradise ride......Well lets set it up.  or a group of Michigan riders to the dragon.....Blueridge.....SkyLine Drive....ETC....

I am up for it.

Hell yeah! I should be able to make the Hell meet-up on Saturday. I'll be riding a red FZ6 with a Givi topcase. 5pm at the Inn?

I'm usually up for longer rides too. Right now I'm starting to organize a late-Spring ride around Lake Michigan (Memorial Day weekend is a leading candidate right now - I'm working on this over on the FZ6 forum). Once we get some details locked down I'll start a thread here too. The plan is to start in Lansing, take the ferry across Lake Michigan at Ludington, and hug the Lake around the UP and back down to Ludington (picking up bikes along the route and making a few side-trips).

Cheers,

Somewhere around that time, could be earlier though, it just depends on what time TheRedOnesAreFaster & Dan get to my place...

I'll keep you posted.

....if that's an open invitation I think I could be in Michigan Center by 3. I live just down the road in Albion. I've ridden a few roads in that area, but haven't been to Hell or back.

Wow!! Thanks for the great post. I didn't know about this ride. I think I might try to do it instead of trying to organizing something else (why reinvent the wheel?). It'll come down to getting enough time free. Last year, I did a group Lake Erie ride and it was fantastic.
