LOL
Since you mentioned rain - I couldn't resist telling you - I am parking the Mustang for 2 more paychecks (I need to renew insurance/registration) and making the bike my every day driver. It's been HOT (106 last week) and I'm getting used to it. HOWEVER - tonight as I was leaving the house for my 5 mile commute to work - it started drizzling on me as soon as I left the driveway. LOL No big deal. A little rain something bikers have to deal with. Then the sky opened up and poured water for about 5 minutes!!!! : owned:
LOL
When I pulled into the parking lot at work = NO RAIN!!!!!! GGGGGRRRRR!!!!!!!!
LOL
It was just a passing cloud that dumped a whole lot of rain in a concentrated area. I guess I was just lucky arty0011:
I hope you guys had a great ride - wish I could have come.

Good News and Bad

We had a great ride. We met for breakfast at The Nook at 8:00 am. I had my favorite southwestern omelet on the planet.

We met Bill (WABBMW) for the first time. It was instantly apparent that he is just a super nice guy. Salt of the earth type. We hit the road promptly at 8:45 after filling up our tanks.

I swept since Bill had not ridden with us before. He did a great job and rode very well. We went a little over 100 miles before we turned around to head back. We took just a few photos where we turned around an the end of 3090.

Just 10 minutes after these photos Bill had a run off in a left hander. He is perfectly fine the bike has some damage but was ride-able albeit it a tiny bit awkward with the bars a little bent. We limped home at slow pace and just enjoyed the scenery for once. I will let Bill fill in the details if he wants to.

P.S. It was hot as hell out. No Brownwood hot but hot enough!

Sorry to hear about Bill's incident. I hope he's okay and that the bike can be repaired. Glad you guys had an otherwise nice ride.
