Any trip up the West Coast of Michigan will be well worth it. Michigan does New England better than "New England". Towns like Saugatuck, Petosky is amazing, Grand Haven, Muskegon, Ludington, etc. along Rt. 31 are not to be missed. Take time to cut over to Traverse City. Beautiful! From TC you would visit the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Lakeshore. From there, a day trip up I believe Rt. 22 all the way to Northport. The towns along the lakeshore are again better than New England, and the folks are mid-Western friendly. Enjoy your trip.
Cut over to M-22 if you're headed North along 31, since 31 goes inland for about 30 miles. It's a nice winding road that hugs the lakeshore and eventually goes right to Sleeping Bear ... Take M-22 all the way to Northport and then keep going to the tip of the peninsula if you have time. Maybe park your rig at a campground near sleeping bear and take the bike.
