I hope you have spare rims with you. They have some serious potholes on the highways especially in the Michigan sections.
Yeah, I did it in 2008, I remember bad roads right around Detroit where I crossed. Which reminds me, no bikes allowed in the tunnel, FYI.

I crossed at Sarnia on my way to Chicago last October. Highways all the way there were PERFECT, but inside Chicago were extremely bumpy. Aside from that, all the roads were amazing.

Scott Saunders posted on the Ducati Owners Club Facebook page that he will be riding his bike down from Toronto again this year and was asking anyone else who was interested to contact him.

Find a motel with ground floor access to your room, nothing blocking the door, and park the bike inside the room.
Went down and back the same day last year on chartered jet. That was the best and easiest way if you can swing it. Phenom 100 that seats four was 8 grand. Get on plane 10 minutes before take off, land and have car waiting for you, leave Indy whenever you want, home in an hour and a bit
Is the champagne and caviar included, or extra cost? I'm shopping for the best deal.
I chartered it yes.
I mentioned if you can swing it and the price as I assumed people wouldn't be interested or would be interested in the cost. Just throwing an alternative to driving or riding for discussion sake. By the time you spend gas, food, lodging , wear and tear on the bike and your personal time , some want to pay the extra and go down and back fast. divide the plane by 4 people and split the cost. Yes I recognize its extravagant.
haha! Catering is extra and I hate caviar.
where did you clear US customs? did you screen in Pearson ( which is a long way from the derry rd charter load) or did they accomodate in Indy? The price is not bad (for a chartered jet) , citation is about 2k an hour to run and they have about an 8k minimum to put it in the air when I checked.
