First of all, I have lost the Lamonster. Due to a combination of technical difficulties and some personal business that came unexpectedly, Lamont had to cancel his trip out west and head home to Tennessee,so I am riding alone.

Secondly, I have been running in and out of rain the past two days, and had to take an extensive detour due to a road closure. Thankfully, I had the Spyder’s CB radio on channel 19, and heard the truckers ahead of me talking about a fatal accident that had just closed the highway, so I was able to get off before I hit the jam. If I hadn’t, I would have been stuck there for nearly four hours.

By the way, I will say again that the weather protection on the Spyder RT is phenomenal. I haven’t even bothered to use my rainsuit, as I only get wet when I stop.

I made it into Biloxi, Mississippi,late last night, but now it looks like I am going to have to stay here for an extra day. It isn’t often you hear the weather people talk in absolutes, but when they say “100% probability of severe thunderstorms,” it’s time to pay attention. Especially when your route is headed directly into the center of the storm, where there is a strong possibility of tornadoes. So, I am going to hole up here for an extra 24 hours and get some work done. The storm is supposed to pass over by tomorrow morning, and then I will head on into Texas.

For anyone interested, I expect to be at Wild West Honda on I-10, on the west side of Houston,this coming Saturday morning, to meet up and ride with some Texas Spyder owners.
