went for a 210 mile ride today, it was awsome even though 60 of those miles were in the rain. Now I have to clean the Fat Bob in the&nbsp\\; morning.

We went for a 200 mile ride today also. Went down by Ahoskie North Carolina and on the way back we hit some rain along the last 20 miles or so. It sucked because I just cleaned the bike up all nice yesterday but what is worse is the rain hitting me in the face at 70 mph felt like needles, the frogg toggs were wrapped up all neatly in the bag on the back of my bike while I got soaked and I had to take a dump. I made it home though and it all came out good in the end.

Alright I finally got my *** up and went outside and cleaned all the muck off the bike then took it for a ride. Felt good and I am thinking of taking another late night ride in just a little bit out to the last rest stop travelling west on I64 right before you get to I295. It's about 75 miles away.&nbsp\\;I'll have a cup of coffee there then head back.

Glad you enjoyed the ride. It was too hot down here in HELL (Dallas), Texas today. Set a new record 107F.
