It does sound like God's country. Been through that area many times and never noticed any signs. I just looked it up and it says 143 population for 2010 census. I'd say that's pretty small. We have a city near here (Omer) that claims it's the smallest city in Mi. with a population of 313 per 2010 census. I love riding the MC through those small towns/cities. Usually find good restaurants and friendly folks in them.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hyjack your thread. Congrats on your new toy, and good luck getting her up and running - and also getting that dirt bike track built. Oh, BTW, I too have an Ultra.

Don't forget the build pictures.
