Well, like I said, the 1st weekend of Oklahoma Bike Week was kind of dead.. the crowd was virtually non-existent, although it was a little better Saturday night. It did rain all day Saturday though, so that probably turned a lot of people away. Don't get me wrong, there was some nudity and a tittie show... can't complain there..

The most exciting part was my trip home, where when I hit OK Hwy 9, the weather suddenly turned very bad, with clouds going in 2 directions and the wind picked up violently. When I turned right on OK Hwy 9, I was behind a tornado chase vehicle, like you see on TV!! I thought to myself that in this weather, it's probably not good to be following a tornado chase vehicle.. But I proceeded, battling the wind and made it through with no issues... By the time I reached I-35, the wind was back to normal. I did end up following that storm for the next several hours and each time I caught up with it, I pulled over and waited for it to move on.. lol

Here's a couple of pics..

Waiting here for the storm to move on.. This is toward the tail of the storm..

Yup, glad I decided o go to the BBQ festival in Tryon, NC. Dodge the rain getting there, had a great day of riding with some good guys and great BBQ Saturday. Left Sunday for home, which was a good idea. Dodged a couple nasty t-storms in Michigan with tornado warnings popping up on my GPS.

Darn air went out of my air shocks on my Bushtec at Troy, OH. Fortunately it was only the valve stem. Still trying to figure out what is making my front end weave/trailer weave above 70.

I have a gut feeling it is the wind buffeting. I move the cargo around and load heavier in the front and it helps. I have the wheels straight up and down and it seems to work better with a negative camber, slightly. Not that 70 is slow, but at times you need to bump it up a little

I was about to head out, next thing you know the sky turns black and there was rain everywhere!!
Glad you made it home safe!
