Could you send some down here. We are suffering. Somthing like 9 days in a row of 100 degree temps and very, very dry. I won't even look at my bike right now

Probably a good thing. Around here, motorcyclists are target for bottle rockets.

Man, today is the first sun filled day without rain in about a month! The weather in eastern Pa has been nothing but rain! Everything from thunder showers with hail to all out down pours lasting all day! I think the weather man said since May we had only 9 days without rain.

Sefferdog, I must disagree. WISCONSIN is the worst. Lived there 45 years.

Our weather today is in the high 80's but I'm not riding with all of the fireworks and celebrants on the roads. Around here it usually rains on the 4th of July and there are more motor vehicle accidents on this weekend than any other. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice also so I will be riding the scoot to church and then going for a nice long ride.
Let freedom ring... Happy 4th of July!
