I’m a Northern Michigan rider with three decades of road time, from coastal highways to hidden county lanes. I created North Coast Ride because most motorcycle guides felt generic. My routes are different: local intel, realistic timing, fuel and ferry details, and optional detours you won’t find in brochure copy. I ride a 2019 Honda Shadow Phantom and spend an unhealthy amount of time cruising Northern Michigan’s hottest rides, so you don’t have to guess. Not only do I offer free options for rides and things to do, but I also offer full in-depth rides with maps, hot spots for stops, and filter out the tourist traps so you don’t have to.
