Covered Bridge in Southern MO

Rode up/over to visit my Aunt, and Cousins in Cape Girauerdo (sp?) Fruitland, and Jackson MO.

Lots and lots of gravel. I came the closest I have ever came to wrecking. Outside of a sharp turn on gravel, huge and I mean huge pile of soft gravel. I didnt know it was there, got off in it, and the bike started to wallow, and wander bad. All I could do was go real light on the bars, push on the pegs and let it work around under me. It was scary. It came thru ok.
Also experinced for the first time losing traction on the rear tire, under hard acceleration leaned way over. Pretty damn scary as well.

600 miles trip. Lots of fun. Very very hot, kept having to stop and soak my jacket, it would dry in about 30 minutes and back to boiling heat again. I got to the point where I was pouring a bottle of water on the jacket when I stopped and letting it lay on the ground, while I filled it up again. Gear up, and then spray it into my jacket again soaking my shirt and stuff as well. Hop on the bike dripping wet and ride on again. LOL

And now for something completely different.

After reading your thread, the final picture is refreshing! Maybe it's time for you to get that evaporative cooling vest. It does work, amazingly well.
