I felt the same way last week when I got back from PA. 95F and 90% humidity
for 650 miles through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri.

You working the races this weekend Bryan?

Heat stroke, maybe? Find a shady place to rest and drink water.

As if this is tough from the seat of an air-conditioned Toyota Civic.

Not working the races. Being a corner worker is a big commitment and I'm
not that dedicated. It was fun to take the training the though.

I had to stop for an hour and cool down before doing the last 100 miles in
100+ heat in Friday rush hour traffic.

And the Harley was really cool. As it should be with all the upgrades it
had. It is a vastly superior machine for big mile days compared to my F4i.

Did the wife drive seperately? Was the old couch up to the task?

When I'm vacation traveling by motorcycle, on a road trip, I have very loose
daily destination goals. Usually about 3 or 4 of different ones each day,
actually, so that no matter how the day goes, I'll get to one of them. While
I'm riding, I let the road be the destination, so I'm always right where I
want to be.

For some odd reason my personality just isn't conducive to that. I wish it
was sometimes.

Then don't take your eyes off the road.

That's hard to do when you're surrounded by bucolic mountain beauty.
