By that I mean I know a lot of riders, including myself, that have made such a big deal about it, stressing about forecasts and whether to gear-up or not. And then - despite all the preps - we get caught in a few drenchers and notice that while we are wet and sometimes a bit too cold, we haven't melted into a puddle of green ooze. So as long as hail ain't in the forecast (or tornados - Dorothy got me spooked of them from way back) I'll ride. Of course, if that is all there is going to be, I will put on the rainsuit. Summer showers, though, are often far more welcome than intimidating. Good for you in riding it out!<br /><br />Keep riding free, and safe - and thanks for sharing,<br />Red RiderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54880291124800237.post-1332926076430578122010-06-14T03:39:05.804-07:002010-06-14T03:39:05.804-07:00LOL about the rhinestones....

But actually I almost never buy them from HD cause I often don't like the cut of the shirts...<br /><br />Traveling alone as a chick on a bike is a trip. Even my quick jaunt on skyline drive and back caused the conversation with at least half a dozen biker crews. I can't wait till I can take a few weeks and do the whole country. <br /><br />Skyline was the same way on beating the rain. I was lucky all the really bad stuff was down south more. Have fun on the next leg of your trip.lizdc from BON/ Hdforumsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54880291124800237.post-49609635920746222682010-06-13T20:08:08.928-07:002010-06-13T20:08:08.928-07:00another great read abby.....continued good weather...another great read abby.....continued good weather to you!!!! stay safe!!!<br />chuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54880291124800237.post-81340091714268220352010-06-13T18:38:21.792-07:002010-06-13T18:38:21.792-07:00You're not the only biker chick who despises H...You're not the only biker chick who despises HD sparkles all over everything ;) Right there with you on the "geriatric tour". I find that where I used to go 500 miles a day - now I aim for 200-300 and take it a bit slower. And you're so right about the "Dragon" alternatives. That part of the country has so many twisty roads that rival the dragon - they're just not so famous - but locals know.kathyhttp://www.chromeandpearls.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54880291124800237.post-88448464584725534742010-06-13T18:28:15.950-07:002010-06-13T18:28:15.950-07:00The strappy rhinestone stuff is the reason I usual...The strappy rhinestone stuff is the reason I usually buy guy's shirts.<br /><br />The other part of today's story - the skipping the Dragon - was good. I tell people the most of them can find their own lizards to ride in their own neck of the woods - no need to travel to or be intimidated by "The Dragon."Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273697064801882982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54880291124800237.post-54067692936288104462010-06-13T18:27:14.200-07:002010-06-13T18:27:14.200-07:00Yep.
