And if it did, I'd be ATGATT. Needed for those tar strips. But the weather would have me thinking MGSOT (minimal gear, some of the time).<br /><br />Illinois does not have a helmet law (dumb). I saw very few helmets yesterday, and could kinda see their point--at least in this weather.Pilote Ancienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02477409503577380353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10548299.post-71185830145796654712012-07-01T09:17:14.896-04:002012-07-01T09:17:14.896-04:00The tar they seal the cracks on the roads in North...The tar they seal the cracks on the roads in Northern Georgia was like WD 40.

How were your passes? <br />Took a 250 mile road trip myself--in my cage, with the a/c on high. The bikers I saw (plenty) were doing OK, but nobody stopped except to hydrate.
