What A Weekend

[whitecobra98]

Just came back from Laconia yesterday.....the plan was to ride up from here to a friend's place about an hour outside Laconia. We left later than I wanted to, and 5 minutes into the ride we got soaked....continued on for another ten minutes before I got stuck at a light and lost my buddy who was in front of me....rode for quite a bit til I got smacked in the face with hail at 45 mph...much of the same til I stopped just b4 I got into NH to try to get hold of my buddy..no answer but said he was behind me in a msg he left....waited 45 mins, then took off...got stuck in no fewer than 6 more violent thunderstorms....white knuckling it the whole way and shivering...foul weather gear was in my truck another buddy was driving up..also nowhere to be found..finally made it up and found both of them drinking a beer and looking all nice and warm...turns out they threw his bike in the back of my rig and drove up...he rode 15 miles...i was ready to kill somebody....poured about 3 gallons of h20 out of my boots,grabbed a beer and changed..stopped shivering about 3 hrs later...once up there ride was decent saturday, was approached at a stop line by a dozen Hells Angels commenting on my "sewing machine", both Hardley's I was with broke down, had to ride back and pick up my truck, so I could put one in the back and get home...all in all, not too bad for a first time at Laconia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!
