Default Sportbike Rental in MI (Detroit)?

I just drove 2450 miles from LA to Detroit area as to work for 3 weeks and then vacation in Chicago. I bought my helmet/gloves so I can ride as this dude that used to work for my company wants to go on a weekend ride around MI. Is there any place that rents sportbikes? If not, then I'll have to settle for an HD (ugh).

Ugh, that's a horrible drive. Doesn't your company pay for rental car while your'e there?

Good luck finding sportbike rental in the Midwest.....most sportbike riders there are treated like squids (prolly cuz most of them are, lol) so I doubt anyone is willing to rent to them.

Well...I'm gonna be in Detroit for 21 days then when Chicago is over (10 additional days), I'm turning my leased Malibu into a dealer there. Was also renting this car to my bud in AZ and I had to pick it up anyways. My work paid for the fuel/lodging here and the airfare back. Saves me a plane ticket for vacation, I got to pick up the car and I have the airfare back. All paid by work. lol. It saves them a rental too. Shit took three days to drive with an avg. of 817 miles a day, but when I calibrated for Generous Motors we would drive 16 hours a pop. No biggie for me.

You here now????

I don't know of any sportbike rentals. HD rentals yes. But damn they are expensive. Can price those out on hd.com.

Where you at? Maybe we can meet up. I'm about 20 miles south of the city. I'm a bacholor all week. Too bad I'm working!

I packed all my meals...tuna/brocolli/olive oil (2 of them), cottage cheeze, protein mix and oats. I stopped at Arby's once per day though.

Dearborn is about 20 mins from my place. Which strip club you talking about? The only full nudity in michigan is a dry club and those may not always be good.
