As for the motorcycle, it's a 1998 Harley Sportster Hugger. I'm hoping to get $3800 for it.

mparker:It's been a good 16 years since I rode that far (I was training for a century on a 1988 Specialized Hard Rock while living in Marquette, MI. Check Google Maps for the terrain between Marquette and Gwinn, MI to get a better idea.) The roads aren't an issue; it's more attitude (in my mind, anyways ) that's the factor. I've seen people cycling on the same roads I plan on taking.

Duppie: Thanks for the input. We are really trying hard to get out of debt and, I'll admit, I have been reluctant to sell the motorcycle, but reality is hitting me like a cold, wet herring across the face. I do want to cycle to work, not just to try and save money, but a whole host of other reasons. Mainly, though, I just miss cycling (and fly fishing, both of which I hope to pick back up this year ).
