RP Members, Connections, and friends. Here is a video from the end of (Day 2) upon my arrival in Akron, Ohio.
Good evening from Akron, Ohio (End of Day 2) of "RIP RIDE 4 Vets" and to do a RallyPoint "Meet and Greet" and at the same time while I'm riding 4,163 miles on the motorcycle. I'm raising money to forgive and abolish $2 Million in Veteran Healthcare Debt.

(Day 2) was much easier than (Day 1) with only 542 miles driven from Florissant, MO to Akron, Ohio. Great weather and only one major delay with a big accident on I-70 at mile marker 107 right before Dayton, Ohio that backed up traffic for several hours. Spent a little time in line on the express way waiting for the exit to get off I-70 and be detoured around through a smaller town and back on the expressway about 20 miles East. This took 2 hours of my time, putting me in at 6:30 PM versus being there at 5:00 PM.
One small incident with a Trucker where I almost bit the big one when he pulled out in front of me with no apparent reason. I'm sure he had one, but I couldn't see it. No cars in front of him, in back of him, or beside him (he was on the far right) and I was cruising at 80 mph's in the fast lane (nothing in front of me) and nothing behind (thank goodness). He with lanes with several feet for me to react and I had to apply both breaks (80/20) no skid but missed his tailgate by inches. Couldn't figure that one out, but as I posted this morning, my "Guardian Angel" was looking out for me.
Day (30 begin with a wet bike after a thunderstorm last night and I'm heading to Belmont, NH for the "Meet and Greet" with Alan K. and family.
