That's nothing - wait for the big stuff to hit.

Wouldn't be rally time without it at some point. Been there, when it looked like we were right in the path of a tornado in between towns.
Probably fine everywhere else...that's how the weather travels through there in that area.

That’s the Dakotas for ya.

That’s where I learned to duck the bike under cover at an abandoned bar.

I would have saddled up and put on the cruise control then with my free hands swatted the hail stones from me and my bike.....

Thats what I WOULD have done....I dont know what you all did or did not do.....

The largest hailstone ever known in the US, measuring just shy of 8" diameter and weighing almost 2 lb, fell on Vivian, SD in 2010.

Ice bomb.

Typical day of riding in the Black Hills.
