Lots of us did that in the spring. It is a great ride, and by far the best choice for getting down there. Not sure what my plan is yet, I may leave really early or I may go down to Parkersburg on Friday.
Apparently it is easy, just vote Trump.

Just something to ponder, I will bet a dozen donuts you were not too hot for the bike. Bike was fine, it would have made it if you let it. It was your head that decided it was too hot. We all have done it.
Glad you and the scoot are ok man.
