Michigan US Senator Gary Petershas been riding motorcycles since he was a teenager.

This week, he has been on a cross-state motorcycle tour of Michigan visiting 26 counties over 5 days and making 12 stops for official business.

I spoke with him about his journey...

Senator Peters says everything is more special on a motorcycle, which gives him a different perspective on what's happening in our state.

He was joined for part of his journey by the state motorcycle advocacy group "Abate," as well as employees from one of the companies he met with.

He says he is wearing his helmet and is grateful for the good weather he has encountered so far.
