    Your 2 hours from me Agent. Too bad your not in town for a couple days. We are hitting Baja Acres for Wedn practice and I'm hearing there will be a bunch of pros there. Should be fun to even watch. In Michigan, Baja is the practice track for Redbud. Gets crazy rough when the fast guys are there... :shock:

    If you think that's bad... head to Galveston, TX or anywhere in Alabama. Went to Space camp with my son for a weekend down there.. Holy sheet... talk about moisture.

    Try Cairns Queensland Australia - 110 % humidity ...blink you sweat ... breathe you sweat ... and forget exercise ... unless you want to totally fade away ...

    And the cochroaches ... chucked a shoe at one and bu**er me ... it picked it up and threw it back ... these suckers are like 3 to 4 inches long and really buffed ... all taht shoe throwing I guess ..

    So no matter how bad you think you have it someone else has it worser ( <--- sp ??? ) <--- $1,000,000 computer and it still can't spell ....

    I hear you AS. It's just like that down in Ohio today. very sticky.
    However, we just got done with a week of 70's and 40-50% humidity which was beautiful , now it's around 90% and 90 degrees which is pretty draining.
    Our Southern buddies though, now that's nasty down there in mid-summer. When it's 95-100 with 95-100% humidity that is insufferable and not at all good for riding -or anything else that doesn't involve air conditioning and mint juleps !
    Even at this though, around 630-7 pm it'll be plenty cooled off enough for riding, so I'm loadin' up ! Doug

    Yes, there is humidity in Michigan, they don't call it the Great Lake State for nothing. Luckily the hot-humid season is short here compared to the south.

    Mbacon - Being in Clio, did you go to Baja yesterday? Fantanstic conditions. I didn't rain at the till 7pm. The Moto-gods were treating us well holding the rain off for us... :D

    Only a couple fast guys there yesterday. I thought for sure there would be some fast pros there getting some practice in for this weekend.

    I would have thought so too. It was the opposite. All the rain and threatening storm action must have scared everyone away. I was talking to one of the girls there and she said it rained hard at about noon. Practice started at 3pm. Despite the looming storm clouds in the distance, it didn't rain at the track again till 7pm. With the lack of riders (they kept it open riding all day) and the good watering the track got before practice, the track was in perfect shape. It held up the best I've ever seen it. Kong still had clean lines at 7pm when I left! Awesome day of riding, besides my buddy breaking his collarbone and getting an ambulance ride out of there. But he's OK and didn't ruin our day... ;)

    Nothing worse than a trip to the hospital. Should be getting my head back in a few days and get back to riding. :D

    Been there, done that, I lived in Tenesee for a few years. Nasty time of the year to go riding, unless you go real early.
