Hesston, KS 10-21-09

Sometimes if you want to ride you have to risk riding in the rain.  Today was one of those days.  The weather man said 100% chance of rain in the afternoon but the morning was just iffy.  Pat and I decided to dress for the worst and ride to Hesston for lunch.  
As it turned out the little splatter we got as we were leaving Salina was the worst we would see on the way down.  You could tell it was a rainy looking day cause as we pulled into Richard's in Lindsborg he rolled up on his scooter, having retrieved it from it's parking place at his mother's-in-law garage.  He didn't want to get his Gold Wind dirty so he opted for the easy to clean scoot.
It was a good turnout considering the dark clouds, about 12.  Don brought his wife who brought a cake to share so it was a good lunch with an unexpected dessert.
We decided that a stop at Rickner's Cycle in McPherson would be a good idea.  The rain returned as we entered Mac but never got heavy.  Rickner's changes every time I stop by.  They have more riding gear than any non-Harley place I've seen.  Mr. Rickner has had some recent heart problems and we wish him a speedy recovery.
I had no more than got the bike in the garage and my gear off when the sky opened for a good shower.  Must have been my lucky day.
