ok let's kick the forum off. The Great Lakes are covered in thick ice which is very extensive in February 2014. The forecast is that this means a cold, spring.
I am getting my Kawa as the first bike in 4 years - since Central Washington State, and so I will be exploring. I am located 30 miles North of Milwaukee, so a long way from the good biking roads in Western Wisconsin; however, there looks to be some nice stuff to the North in the kettle moraine forest and south of Lake Mills.
I wish we had more rider info local to the mid west so we could compare dealer prices etc. I had to buy as Costco card so I could get somewhere near the 'true' price and there was more to be got ... Also when you call Costco - don't believe their statements as to your nearest participating dealer - they sent me WAY out of my area when there was a participating dealer round the corner....
anyway, that's the mid west KAWA 1000 forum started !
