And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I'm not motorcycle guy so bear with me here. As the rain falls and the tarp fills and the ground saturates and the kick stand starts to sink. Around two in the morning the inboard kickstand gives up and boom. I would oppose the bikes so the kick stands are both outboard
I am totally with you and I am a motorcycle guy who has done trips like this and gotten rained on during such. That set up is worthless in the rain if there is any wind at all, and I'm not sleeping under 500 pounds of bike unless there is a piece of flat wood under the kickstand.
Slept under a town gazebo , somewhere in Iowa , coming back from Sturgis 50.
ReplyDelete3 days non stop rain.
improvise, adapt, stay reasonably dry and pray the points didn't get wet...

DeleteThat's just to keep the dew off! If there's serious rain around, I'm heading to a motel!
