I am kind of a soggy tent guy myself. Part of the experience. Of course I am happy to stop by for breakfast

If I were going to Sturgis my tent wouldn't get soggy because I'd put it up right under Zeus' awning. That way I'd be right there and not miss breakfast. Breakfast is the most important mooch of the day.

yes, you're all invited over for breakfast, just be careful not to trip on FireWoman's tent strings. I'll let the wife know we'll be having guests.

Right now we're in California. Just a word of advice. Invest in one of them bike covers if you're planning to leave the bike parked outside. I don't have one and the bike is covered in a layer of sap crap that shed from the trees. Yuck.

No pics for today. I'll post some tomorrow.

+1 -- I had that same experience a few years ago, and that "sap crap" can be a real pain to clean off! I now take a cover with me anytime I'm on the road.
