The Cool part is, there's no easy, straight, normal way to get from Pine Bluff to Leland. First, you must cross the Wisconsin river, and there are only two bridges in any proximity, both of which require a run through the "twisties" in opposite directions. Virtually every road is a "motorcycle road!!!" The whole idea is to leave Pine Bluff in the late morning, wend your way however you like, however long you want, and get to Leland some time in the mid-afternoon. Food and drink are offered by the local taverns, and Law Enforcement is "present" but not too obnoxious. For the most part, participants are well mannered, and I happened to note that probably 90% of riders were wearing helmets...
As far as Goldwings, there were several 1500's and 1800's in view, I saw a couple of dressed 1200's, one 1200 standard with small aftermarket hard bags, three 1100's, all dressed, and ONE, ONE 1000, a 76 with a Vetter fairing and hondaline bags. We're seriously under represented here!
So, here's some pics...
