IH Truck Guy Posted May 30, 2012 #26 Posted May 30, 2012 The weather man does not seem to be aware of the rules for rain on MD. Or is it just my personal black cloud that is trumping the rules? Come on Jeff,you know the deal... If ya ride,your gunna get wet at some point.. Look at the positive,"FREE BIKE WASH"...... Take it slow and easy and you'll do just fine... And if it takes a little longer,so be it... A few years ago,Shari and I ran in rain all the way to Sandusky and gave up after 15 hours...That motel felt real good that nite.. The worst part was paying $130 bucks for a room at the Motel 6... Seems we got the last room in town,as they had a huge car show in town... That sometimes happens when you try to get a room at 2 in the morning.. Ride safe buddy,we'll see you there...
Flyinfool Posted May 30, 2012 #27 Posted May 30, 2012 NOOooooo........ Not a bike wash...... I just got done planting the crops in the dirt.
Marcarl Posted May 30, 2012 #28 Posted May 30, 2012 Robin and I are heading out Thursday,early morning. We are going to pickup the 86 in Corning NY and run that to the 90. Anyone going that way. The 86 is a heck of alot better road then the NY thruway. Last time we were on the thruway if was like riding on a wash board. We is going that way, but not until Friday.
