I rode my motorcycle into a tornado.

So I literally had a hard time going to sleep last night. It took me, it took me a while. I've never been through something like that and there was a, there was a few times that I legitimately thought I bought the farm. If there's a silver lining I'm, I'm very excited that the cameras were rolling during that entire thing. So let's go inside and I'm gonna have some coffee but I'm gonna, I'm gonna kind of break this whole thing down for you. It literally started off yesterday after I left Iowa. I got my bike serviced because it was running sluggish. I jumped on the road and I just started crushing miles to get to Minnesota. As I was leaving Iowa the winds were getting out of control. Big time crosswinds in sections that, you know, my neck was, was completely stiff. Once I got the wind, the road turned and allowed the wind to go, to go to my back. But while I was on the road I could kind of see a storm coming. I could, I could, I could smell a change in the weather. It's just one of those things that you experience when you're riding a motorcycle. All right so here's what's going on. I've got 92 miles left to get to Minnesota, my destination, and the weather is turning quickly. Little by little it's getting darker. The temperature is dropping and I can just see the change. So I think I'm gonna get into rain gear right now because I think I'm gonna need it. So at one point in time I elected to pull over ahead of time and I, you know, get my rain gear on and get more prepared because I'm probably gonna get a little wet. I had no idea what I was about ready to get into. As I got into Minnesota and I was within 30, 40 miles of my destination, things started taking a turn for the worse. Wind started picking up, there was lightning everywhere, you know, and I was like, man it's just 40 more miles. I traveled, you know, over 2,600 miles so far to get to Minnesota and I had 40 miles left. Funny story because when I pulled off I was about, I think I was about 18 miles away when the GoPro battery died on the GoPro 9 and I almost elected because it was just miserable out to just not replace the battery and I had a second thought. So I pulled off the next exit. I swapped the battery out because I wanted to get my arrival. That's not good. So I pulled it over gas station. I immediately hit record because I don't want to mess with it while I'm on the bike in these winds with the lightning. I just want to have it record and literally two minutes and 59 seconds later, according to the GoPro timer, this is what took place. You know, I want you guys to watch this and, you know, I'm just going to play multiple clips of the incident and then how a motorcyclist came to my rescue. Literally, it's remarkable. about the biker community. He stopped right here. He offered me water and some snacks. It's just awesome. So Radeep, you know, just, I'm telling you, I've said it a million times during this thing. What kind of bike you got? DTM adventure. Awesome. Well, I am. So that's pretty much it. I can say that I survived a tornado on a motorcycle. I was the only idiot on a motorcycle in the entire state of Minnesota, I'm pretty sure, but made it through, made it stronger, and I had this content to show you. So that's going to do it, guys. Until next time, you guys ride safe, be safe, and we'll catch you on the next one.
