Start: Nelson, WI Via: Leland, WI End: Nelson, WI Length: 350 mi.
This route is what has become the standard route used to ride to Leland, WI to catch the Spring and Fall Slimey Crud Rally.
The route starts in Nelson, WI and uses alphabet roads through Arcadia, goes through the Mindoro Cut, Wildcat Mountain and then onto Leland. The return route goes west on P to Westby and then back up through the Mindoro Cut and Arcadia and ends in Nelson, WI.
Swung by today and checked it out. Still allot of set up to do, but the doors are open, they are accepting service work, and if you want to buy a bike they'll sell one to you. They probably have something like 20 bikes in inventory right now. Going to be a really nice dealership.
Fred posted the notice to Craigslist last night about the dealer being open. They received their dealer's license yesterday.
I took some photos of the dealership, but missed a couple of key things. The service area is a fishbowl, with floor to ceiling glass so you can see the work benches and technicians at work. They have a huge red cappuccino machine and will have a nice customer lounge area near it, which they plan to have WSBK and MotoGp viewing parties in. Should be a nice place to hang out.

The shop area
Something you won't probably see at any other dealership in the Twin Cities. One of the dealership owners (Fred), working on a bike!
They haven't established regular hours yet, but they'll be there tomorrow still pulling things together.
Ducati Minneapolis has opened. 2800 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis. Formerly Silverback Performance, noted Ducati service and tuning shop in Saint Paul New bikes on the floor and a full service shop.
I think I'll try to swing by and check it out tomorrow.
I'm sorry I was trying to remember who you were. I remember now your that tall good looking guy that works at Bob's. Say I didn't know you live in Inver Grove so do I. Small world. Well lets get our CBRs out and do some ridding.
It's hell getting old ..... First the memory goes.....
