Mike (Alvis), Rick and I left the Days Inn around 8:50. Rode in clouds or fog and light rain over 60. At Coker Creek it started raining in earnest. Rick loaded up his bike in torrential downpour just outside of Tellico Plains. I never put on the rain suit as I should have done it when I left the motel and once your wet, your wet, and I was wet. Teeth started chattering just where 129 intersects with 411. Was braking with front brake only by the time we made it to Seymour (1 p.m.) because I couldn't get my right hip and foot to function properly. But we made it and had a great time. Chy and Di thanks for sharing your home and your knowledge of Northern Georgia twisties. No trouble with gas tank vent after we removed the shut off valve thingy. Thanks All, Bob
