When I read that People didn't go because it was Raining, I just don't get it..If you ride a Motorcycle you are going to get wet, you will not Melt...I didn't make it to the RTE but the rain had nothing to do with it. I headed out Friday Morning in the Rain to Atlanta on the F6B. Rode all over Atlanta Saturday in the rain and Rode home today Sunday also in the rain. Rained 900 miles of the 1090 mile trip...It was a fantastic ride with my Brothers rain and all... I'm looking forward to the Nov. RTE rain or shine I plan on being there............Dickie
