I've read other people say that crossing the Mackinac bridge automatically moves you up from motorcycle novice to motorcycle intermediate.
They should try it on a sidecar rig. The high, gusty winds are challenging to say the least. I was leaned way to the right (into the wind) just to keep her in a straight line.

Luckily, the outer lanes were closed for construction, so I was forced to drive on the center, metal grating lanes. A really "fun" tracking experience with the assymetrical wheel pattern of the rig.
I guess I'm at least a sidecar intermediate now. And here is the bridge:
