It is not fun to ride on right after it has been done.

Glad to hear everyone has made it home safe! ;)
Thanks Greg, they used to do that here many years ago, never knew what they called it. That is some nasty stuff.

Made it home at 10:30 a.m. Nice ride (coooool) and about 10 miles of drizzle. We missed some nasty weather by staying in Cheyenne last night.

You have to do something about the wind going across 80 through Utah. It felt like I was at a 45˚ angle. All I can say is holy sh!t.

Thanks Greg. I've found a little bit of rum, bourbon or wine coupled with a Vicodin gets me 6 hours through the night. Gotta be careful with Vicodin because it contains Tylenol. A warning to all; Tylenol and too much alcohol is extremely bad for the liver.

Too much alcohol is also bad for the liver Stan!!!

Are you really considering the Triumph? Oh... BD is going to be jealous.
