Yep, one word "Do it. Just do it."

Fog this far north isn't that much of a problem during the summer. One good thing about post Labor Day, fewer people. We love Sept/Oct up here, we get our states back from the tourists. <G>

September is by far the best month on the coast with October being a close second. Stay in touch and if I'm still in the area, I'd like to join you for a leg or two.

riding in the rain but soon learned that it was no big deal.

The Nomad handles rain so well...it's weight and center of balance keep it "stuck" to the road even in the wet stuff. In comparison, those HD skinny front ends...grrrr, don't even dare riding those down I-5 when it's wet. The ruts will kill you.
