No I'm not out chasing tornados on the bike but lately it seems every time I fire it up one is chasing me. Last Sunday afternoon I was planning on burning some steaks on the grill. We had some weather earlier in the day but it had cleared up and was very nice. So before I get started I figure I'll make a beer run over to the next county, about 25 miles or so. When I left the house it was perfect but by the time I got to the beer store it looked like this.

Wind was blowing like mad so I dropped a 12 pack in my saddlebag and hightailed it East. The storms were actually moving South and trying to overtake me. I also must have seen 15 bikes headed right into it.

Here's a couple I took just after I pulled into the garage. Just barely beat it back home.

Anyway, me and the twelve pack made it home safe and sound. I think I ended up ordering a pizza.

pizza??? man...i couldnt settle for pizza after getting geared up for grilled steak. shouldnt let rain stop you from grilling. i grill in all weather...rain, sleet, hail, snow, thunderstorm...doesnt matter to me. have had neighbors make fun of me over the years for being out at the grill in a snowstorm wearing shorts and a tshirt

I'll be willing to bet that the neighbors made fun of you for many more things that just that, .... My dear little buddy.... so naive.....

hmmmm...worst time the neighbors gave me was last october. they were making fun of "...the goofy looking guy on the black motorcycle...the one that was missing a turn signal." they were telling me how embarrassed they would be to have "that guy" at their house...and that maybe i shouldnt have him back. that way i dont embarrass the rest of the neighborhood as well. so this year, they made me have the dinner at another location...:bleh:
