Exclamation Great roads in Wisconsin!!!!!

This weekend a group of friends and I decided to go out for a ride and I stumbled onto this site: http://www.motorcycleroads.us/states/wi.html
I would absolutely recommend the Kettle moraine ride in the Eastern Lowlands (right after Elkhart Lake)! The roads are nicely paved and the traffic was light even on memorial day. The only downside was an occasional cluster of 50-60 year old men on harleys and cruisers, but overall very fun, and I found it challenging yet enjoyable (this is my first year riding aggressively, however my friend is a frequent track goer and he had a blast).
I'll definately be hitting that up at least 3 times a month, I live about 20 minutes north so it's not a half bad trip at all

Decent ride, but it's really short, and can get some nasty patches of water in a few places.

There's also a lot of progressively tightening turns. I've seen a share of noobs end up in the brush because they went into a turn hot and it tightened up on them at the last second. So be careful.

I believe that about the water. Some low dipping turns almost got me! I wouldn't quite consider myself a noob, but I get too confident/cocky on the f4i, it feels 100 times better than the F2, so I usually end up going into turns too fast... Did you just follow the route on that map or did you keep following the Kettle Moraine signs?

I'll take that route a few more times by myself to get to know it better, then get more aggressive.

Any other roads/runs you know of around this area?

I don't remember exactly what we've done, I just go up in a group and follow whoever is in front of me. I'd probably get lost if I went by myself. Thank god for iPhone GPS.

Most of the roads we end up carving are either in Lake Geneva or the Oconomowoc area.
