Had a great day at Thunder! I met up with Bill K and went straight to Johnstown and rode in the Parade then got off and people watched. That was interesting! Had awesome weather all day. Then rode down to the Days Inn and met up with some great guys! Dennis, glad you made it buddy, wheelchair and all! Then of course Mike, Shane and his dad Sherman. We actually went to eat and I'm really glad I did. This group of guys make you glad this forum exists. Then I tried to dodge the rain on the way home but my years of luck never riding in rain kinda ran out. It started dry as could then I pulled in the same service plaza I broke down last year at just to top off my tank and clean my visor. It just stated raining a little. Then Autum called and ask " Where are you?" When I told her she said: "Stay put" cause it was POURING at home! Damn! So I waited till it looked like most rain was ending so I started back on my way. Then 2 exits from home it started just lightly raining so it wasn't too bad but right before I got to my exit 2 Semi's passed me and sprayed me like a friggin fire hose. But, here's how great my girl is. I pulled in about 12:45am and my wife and daughter were waiting with a stack of towels and since it quit raining by then I was able to get most all the water and dirt off before it dried. It all worked out and next year I'm gonna take a few days off work to really enjoy the whole experience and meet more of the cool Vmax people. And if you never have been to thunder, you should definetly go!!!
