Yeah, in the thumb, half hour from lake huron, About an hour north/north-east of Flint (or MI's pit of despair), About an hour east and slightly north of "sagnasty" or saginaw. LOL! A nice smallish town... it's where pioneer sugar comes from.

Brighton isn't all that far. :) but then again, I have been known to drive across state to go to a new adult store or my every other month trip down to Canton to go to IKEA. LOL! Where I'm at there isn't alot, which we like for living purposes, but I do alot of driving to get stuff and see people.

Yeah, Silverstone, I just rode through Chelsea on my way to Detroit last weekend. Yup, sometimes long trips on the bike are funner than your destination. Than they become not long enough.

Oh I definitely agree, but I need a bike capable of taking on long trips first, and as of tomorrow, shall have one:
