The benefit of attending a KawaNOW National Rally
I thought you might be interested in my most recent "My Favorite Photo", taken by Donna on our trip home from North Carolina. The photo shows me riding west during a rain storm. Although riding in the rain is not always pleasant, I had enjoyed this particular ride very much.
A gently curving road, little traffic, the music of a powerful V-Twin, and lost in my thoughts of blessings received from God, it was pleasant, indeed. Dave "Bisquits 'n Gravy" Mills

The benefit of attending a KawaNOW National Rally
I had a similar experience a few years ago on a trip from Frankfurt to the island of Sylt. Day started off cloudy and as soon as I started the engine, it began to rain. Oh no, was my first comment, but with the right rain togs, I was a very enjoyable ride. I guess if you are dry, warm enough and on the open road, one can say it is down right fun.

The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines.” - “Only in solitude do we find ourselves; and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in solitude.”

Great pic Dave....
Donna took a bunch of great pics that I saw. Maybe she should take up photography as a side-hobby. :) This pic, and the one of Rayski are spectacular photos. Thanks for posting for Dave.
