Due to three people canceling and two others requesting to cancel tomorrow’s meet and greet lunch at Tellico Kats due to cool temperatures and unsettled weather/rain possibilities there will probably only be a couple of us there but oh well, couple is better than none.  Next one is scheduled  for April 20th at 12 noon at Two Wheels of Suches, in Suches Ga.  FYI.  See ya

Getting a little old, all this wet weather. :angry:  spent all morning riding in the rain from Woodstock, GA to Dunlap.   I always ride the back roads.  Didn't work this time when GA 136 was blocked between Villanow and Lafayette by an overturned tractor-trailer.  Dumped a load of what looked like steel truss all over the road.  They were turning cars around, so I had to double back to I-75.  No fun in the rain.  By the way, Icon waterproof boots are not! :angry: :angry:

A friend is riding his Kawasaki with me and another rider from our Facebook page is coming so there should be a few of us anyways.  That’s good.  Ride safe and stay warm.

Yep it’s been very wet this year!  Glad you made it safe.  Too bad about the boots...

You might consider promoting it as a ride or drive event. If the weather is too bad for riding, there is a chance people will show up just for something to get them out of the house for a nice visit. After all, you will still end up talking motorcycles over breakfast. Same day, same time, regardless of weather. Consistency is the key to success.

Just a thought...  It works out up here in the colder climes.

I learned over the years to just shell out for genuine Gore-Tex.  I have never been let down by Gore-Tex products.

I find it interesting (in an aggravating sort of way) that water-proof items such as boots and gloves seem to lose their water repellency through time and use.   I've had quality water-proof gloves and boots that have kept me quite dry in heavy rains, only to start leaking after a few years.    I think most use some type of re-branded Teflon? I guess the coating just breaks down with use and wear?  A problem I have with most water-proof boots, including the pricy Gore-Tex ones, is they cheap out on the height of the liner. To save money, the liners always stop well below the top of the boot.  If the wind and road spray work pushes water up the boot, your feet can get wet!
