[QUOTE="Beemer Biker"] I was on that ride, yes, it was about 200 miles for me too. All thru a thunderstorm and we could not see unless the lightening struck or a car was nearby. I got soaked even with a full fairing, my son got soaked on his v-star and I dont recall anyone else at that meeting have a windshield except me. I dont think anyone pulled off when it started raining either.[/QUOTE] Oh MY!!! You mean you got hypothermia? You could've got electrocuted and died or worse had you not had the experience of the other bikers to carry you safely where you were going....
