Just a note to let all of our members in the areas affected by the storms are safe and sound. I know that many were hit very hard, especially those in West Virgina and surrounding areas. Please check in when you can to let us know that you are OK.

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

OK I have decided that if I want to do anymore riding that I need to install a snorkel on the bike so that I can pull air from at least 6 feet above my head. I'll wear scuba gear while riding. What all breathers or other holes will need to be sealed up on the engine/drive line? With all of these monster storms that keep marching through here, this may end up being the only way to get around on the scoot. PS Anyone have a set of construction plans for building an Ark?

Since starting to ride again last year, I had avoided testing out my rain gear till yesterday. Central IL was having those pop up storms all around, but the wife (on her Shadow Ace Tour) and I (on my 86 VR) took off for about a 30 mile ride in the country and a snack at an area DQ. When we got to the DQ storms were all across the Southern horizon where we needed to go to get home (10 miles) so we couldn't really go around them. Tried a quick run home but turned around when a wall of water was coming. Went to DQ, covered the bikes and went in for a salad (diets suck at DQ, but the salads were good). IT rained for about 1/2 hour and then stopped, but there were still dark clouds and lightning to the south. Called my younger son, the techie one, and with his magic wireless device, he pulled up a radar map and said if we took off quick there was a hole between two big storms. We hopped into our rain gear, through the wet covers in my trunk, and took off. Glad we did the rain gear because the wife had not ridden in rain since her 70's era Honda 550K that would stall out in the rain. She was leery enough about her new Honda, and didn't want her getting soaked. We stayed dry till within less than a mile from home and we pulled into my carport both laughing. the rain suits worked, the bikes didn't stall out and we had a fun ride. Oh, tornado was tearing up some homes just 5 miles away as we pulled into home base, but it missed us. Not a huge adventure, but enough for us!

Wild Hair, Lowell, The Ambassador is high and dry in Pauls Valley, OK tonight. I had to call and check on him tonight with all the storms moving between his house and OKC this week. He did wind up in the middle of a hail storm this week, otherwise he's stayed a step a head of the storms.

I am still reading about the winter storms you guys in the south are getting and the havoc it is causing! Please take care and if you dont have to drive...dont. We came home last night from Winnipeg....normally a 2.5 hour drive...it took us 5 hrs. (we also stopped to eat). But even with being used to the bad stuff it still was awful! Take care and hopefully you are all ok. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
