[QUOTE="Mudslide Miller, post: 1170581, member: 87029"] In 2011 I rode my '99 RT back to the BMW Nat'l in Bloomsburg PA (during record breaking temps in the 100's). After the rally I was heading through the Catskills for the first time on my way to the Adirondacks & eventually to Buffalo to meet up with my wife & her family. I was hoping for a nice scenic ride through the Catskills but it ended up being in steady rain & in the middle of nowhere my "trusty" RT crapped out & just died. The starter would roll over but the bike just wouldn't restart. Pouring down rain, no traffic in sight, no cell service. This sucks!! Long story short, along comes a couple on an old airhead that also came from the PA rally. She gets off the bike, stays in the rain with my bike, I in complete & udder shame & humiliation jump on the back of a bike behind another dude (kill me now!) for a 30 mile trek to the next town, call a tow truck, get towed to Albany for $300, & get effed by MAX BMW to the tune of $700 for a $40 hall sensor. Never made it to the Adirondacks & wound up in literal torrential downpour on the way from Albany to Buffalo. 30 miles from MAX my rear brake line blew. Turned out to be the cross country trip from hell. One of the reasons my RT is gone & I'm now on this new sweet Cherry Bomb. I WILL get back to the Catskills & Adirondacks some day to finish where I left off! [/QUOTE]
