River flooding has been easy for me to find info on, the inland Iowa river waters have been tougher.<br /><br />Thanks B.R., I'm getting very fond of this one. My choice to bring this one wasn't only to stay brand-loyal at the rally. We needed some bonding time and it's really working. I've told others and will make it public here.....this is the most motorcycly thing I have. By that I mean it's a very balanced machine for what I do and why I ride.Coop a.k.a.

Of course when it's in an area so rural, it naturally is a quieter story than if it impacts mostly urban areas.<br /><br />Things are very green but around the flooded areas, much of it going brown from being waterlogged.Coop a.k.a.
