You had gotten off your bike and I was getting off mine and was going to put a hand out. Then we got the false flag kickstands up, fire up and we managed to compress the line 20' then off again. Wife and I just stayed on the bike after that. We did nod at each other. I remembered you being in front of me when we made the U-Turn for entrance into the dealer lot for the click count and knew we weren't going to have a issue going single file. But the riders in front of us all acted like they didn't have a clue. A living picture being drawn in front of them and lost. I remember thinking how hot we were and knowing you had to be cooking in your gear.

 

Wish I had thought to ask the people I met if they were on the forum, I expect I saw several of you around camp. This was my setup, overlooking the river, across the road from the veterans area.

 

Right, I remember that now. Oh well, maybe next time. I rode that Talimena pass on my trip up to the 115th, it was stellar. I will do it again someday in the fall. Gorgeous ride as-is, it must be outstanding with the fall colors.

It's not easy being ATGATT in a Harley world! But that gear I'm wearing is the Motoport mesh Kevlar. It did get stifling while we were standing still, but as soon as we got to ride it feels like the air conditioning has been turned on. In years past, when I wore leather (even a perforated leather jacket), I would just hang up the helmet from July to September; it was just too oppressively hot here in South Texas. But since going Motoport, I am actually reasonably comfortable in 95 degree heat and 90%+ humidity! It's fantastic, one of my favorite accessories ever. The armor surrounds you, the Kevlar makes road rash near impossible, and the heat ventilation is a lifesaver. It's given me another three months of riding time in the year. I'm really happy with it.

But, as said before, that only counts when we're rolling. Sitting in that traffic, no fun at all. That's why I was getting off the bike, to strip the jacket off and try to cool down a bit...

 

I remember being jealous of your set up and your fan! lol Had a short chat with you.

 

Heres a video I made our our trip. I invited 15 people on this with me and my dad is the only one who said yes. It made for a great father/son trip.

 

DevilSperm, I watched your video on You Tube earlier today. Good job. I remember you going by and commenting about the fan. It was definitely a great thing to have in that weather. These days I really appreciate the luxury of hauling my trailer to events like that.

 

Man I bet! I slept like **** Friday night at the campsite because it was 75° with 142% humidity in my tent lol My dad was the smart one and slept by the bike under the stars

 

It was so humid that the A/C in our cabin could not break it. Was like sleeping in ice water.
