HA!Indeed. I took off on my Harley friday morning for a weekend camping
trip in west central Georgia, hoping to beat the heat by riding to the
rain. It didn't. I put 1000 miles on the bike in high 90 temps, slept in
the tent in low 90's temps, and hiked the bottom of Providence Canyon in
120 heat. Stupid.

What? No detour through central Florida during the hottest and most
humid time of the year only to get caught in the middle of a hurricane?
Ray, Skip, and I are dissapointed!

It does look like a fun trip, though :>

I will be riding my Guzzi EV Coast-to-Coast in August. Working with my
friends in an Italian tour company to lead a group of Italian
motorcyclists from NYC to San Francisco. I think the only Guzzi on the
tour is mine. Let me know if you are located along this route, if you'd


like to meet up for a dinner, or you'd like to meet some nice Italian
people.
Speak up now as I'll have marginal e-mail coverage during the trip and I
will probably NOT be monitoring mail lists. Especially get to me if you


think there is some �must see / little known� attraction along this
route.
