Has the liquid in Lake Michigan returned to something that can be called...water? ;) Title: Re: Lake (Michigan) Express Motorcycle Fare Post by: DucatiTorrey on March 20, 2010, 03:31:30 AM Has the liquid in Lake Michigan returned to something that can be called... water? ;) LOL I believe your thinking of Lake Erie, you know, the lake that caught on fire? Lake Michigan has always been releltively clean, as lakes go these days, with the exception of a few invasive species, most recently the asian carp, which will eventually destroy more than just the lake, but all of our streams, and small lakes.... total bummer but yes, its a beautiful lake. Title: Re: Lake (Michigan) Express Motorcycle Fare Post by: WarrenJ on March 21, 2010, 04:03:05 PM Just checked the fares on the Badger (Manitowoc to Ludington) $69 per person + $38/bike - OUCH! I'd rather drive over the top for that much - prettier too.

I'd rather drive over the top for that much - prettier too. this is true, but i saturday afternoon in WI would be a blast if you don't have the time for a weekend trip around the lake. And, i'm south, so to get there, i gotta go through Chicago. There are only to ferry's, and their both pricey. Title: Re: Lake (Michigan) Express Motorcycle Fare Post by: aaronb on March 21, 2010, 04:47:14 PM do you still have to pay the passenger fair? last year the bike was 80 and rider 60 or 70 IIRC. i thought about doing a weekend in MI, but never got around to it.
Title: Re: Lake (Michigan) Express Motorcycle Fare Post by: aaronb on March 21, 2010, 04:51:27 PM lol, i just looked, $130 for one adult to ride the the boat, the motorcycle is usually an additional $76. ill ride through Chicago, TYVM
Title: Re: Lake (Michigan) Express Motorcycle Fare Post by: WarrenJ on March 21, 2010, 04:55:37 PM I was looking at the one way price. I was thinking about a trip through the UP down to Ludington and across on the Badger but I'll consider looping back up and taking a different route back across the UP. Just hope it isn't too windy across the bridge.
Title: Re: Lake (Michigan) Express Motorcycle Fare Post by: aaronb on March 21, 2010, 05:00:21 PM shoot, that is for two way, when i looked up the price last year i was planning one way too, and then riding around the north end of the lake. i was wondering how the price doubled in one year, lol.
Title: Re: Lake (Michigan) Express Motorcycle Fare Post by: DucatiTorrey on March 22, 2010, 03:54:07 AM yeah its pretty crazy, takes about the same amount of time to cross as going around too. maybe a little faster crossing.
