OK...so what I would do from Milwaukee is get up early...real early...before sunrise early...and high-tail it down 94 into Chicago..East on 55/Congress (you could come in on US41 or US45, but time would be the issue) to LSD then south to the museum campus. Take some awesome pictures of your bike with the museums and/or the skyline as a backdrop, then turn around and head north on LSD and Sheridan Rd and Green Bay Rd. all the way back to Kenosha and have breakfast at Frank's Diner (the 1/2 Garbage Plate is all that I should eat, but I usually order the Full). After that, MAYBE I'd stop at Fuel Cafe for a cup of coffee (or skip breakfast at Frank's and have lunch at Fuel Cafe). THAT would be a good day.

If you to do this...let me know and I could be persuaded to meet you along the way someplace.

I would be so down for the ride south to the museum campus photo op, then back north to Kenosha for bfast and coffee. After that I'd have to say sayonara, thanks for the company.

My wife and I have bicycled the LSD starting at the Museum of Science and Industry area and headed north for a 20 mile route. I throw the bikes in the back of a mini van and head up to the city. It is a beautiful ride on the walking, bike, running path. Anyhow I was just telling my wife this weekend I want to ride by CB1100 up there one Saturday or Sunday this summer and ride the lake shore.

At the expense of ditching the motorcycle, the bike path is even more stunning as you get up right next to the lake. I love that curve just south of Oak St. Beach, as on windy days when the waves are choppy, that area will get flooded with water (harmlessly so), but it's entertaining to bike through due to it's mild risk. Great trail indeed. One of the few things I can proudly say tax payer money went well towards.
