Thunder storm started about 2am this morning and went on for 3 hours. Never heard anything like it!! Sure broke the heat but geez, what a racket and it's after 9am now, and I can still here the rumble off in the distance. Reminds me of the Storms in Alabama

:rain2: :rain2: Now that it looks like the bike season is drawing to a close for us unfortunate northerners, and we have got to admit that this was one WET year.... I was wondering, what is the furtherest you have HAD to ride in the rain? Myself, before my Venture I had a VStar, I had gone on a trip and was on Manitoulin Island in a flyspeck of a town called Little Current, in a motel room the size of my garden shed (for the mere sum of $70!!) with the rain pouring and the Weather Channel saying rain for the next 2 days, unless you are south of Parry Sound. I might also add that 8 hours previous the Weather Channel had said sunny with cloudy breaks grrrrr! So I had no rain gear, but I threw on the leather jacket, said screw it and rode south. Went over a plank bridge with potholes that you could see the water below through, and it was slick as ice. No questions as to my heart working! After 6 hours, trucks up my arse, freezing so bad I went into full body shivers, pulling over to pour out my boots, hands and feet turning into white raisins, just not having fun!!! I arrived in Parry Sound for their freaking Music Festival (Who knew?) with all the motel rooms filled, except for the $150 per night, high end, over priced Days Inn. Spent the evening in the local laundromat watching my clothes spin in the dryer. So about 6 hours and about 300 miles for me, felt like an eternity.
