Higher hills and plentiful trees distinguish Wisconsin from much of Iowa.
On U. S. Route 151 in Wisconsin, we take a quick, safe break to admire the wandering road.
During a rainy spring, we found a three-day weather window and saddled up our Honda ST1300. This sport-touring model is a roomy, powerful bike for two. It was early June, before the high season rates kick in and swarms of tourists take over Door County, the best time to go.
Highway 1 north of Iowa City led us to U. S. Route 151, which took us much of the way to Door County. We usually ride back roads and had forgotten the beauty of this four-lane divided highway. Following low hills around broad curves, we swept by Anamosa, Iowa, home of the National Motorcycle Museum, where we had recently attended Vintage Motorcycle Days.
