Wouldn't be rally time without it at some point. Been there, when it looked like we were right in the path of a tornado in between towns.
Probably fine everywhere else...that's how the weather travels through there in that area.

That’s the Dakotas for ya.

That’s where I learned to duck the bike under cover at an abandoned bar.

I would have saddled up and put on the cruise control then with my free hands swatted the hail stones from me and my bike.....

Thats what I WOULD have done....I dont know what you all did or did not do.....
