Haven't been out in that area of farmland in a year, must have been built this summer, wasn't there last fall. Huge solar farm, didn't know about it till I rode by today.







Almost forgot, that scoot with the sidecar is way faster than the Ural, Ural may find a new home next year. Going uphill at around 30 on gravel, cranked it up to go faster and the back end broke loose. Top end is supposed to be higher than my 883, but it won't jump off the line quite as quick - no clutch, variable belt drive. Nice when I hit stop and go traffic, Harleys aren't much fun in that. Almost no traffic today, though, usually isn't when the road has "Minimum Maintenance Road - Travel at Your Own Risk" signs.

Imold-

Great pics!

Riding is Great Medicine!


Even with a sidecar AND pulling a trailer...it would not have been enough room yesterday.


Back on the bike today.

It was a brisk 42* when I rode in this morning.




Sunny and a perfect day!

Kevin

Today was a perfect day for a nice putt...70* on December 3rd. Wow!

Mary and I just wandered around some backroads, ended up over at Melissa & Devins' (the "D" in DK) house.

He had Dwaynes' Iron Head there...






...to do some welding on it in his home shop (not enough room at the DK shop right now).







Here's the laser that is cutting out...






the Christmas Ornaments and the Man Cave Signs...





...in action...






...straight out of the laser, not yet cleaned up or varnished.






Gabe, Devin & Melissa's 18 month old son, likes motorcycles, go carts, ATV's loud cars and trucks... it is a blast to see him want to make them go "vroom". Devin took him for his first ride on a Tri-Glide!





Took some video of the 3D printer going...have not edited it yet...but here's a pic of what we use to make a lot of our prototypes.




Couple hours visiting...then we took the long way home.

Relaxing afternoon.

Rode the Trike in to work today...leaving shortly to go up to several appointments in Memphis. It's 68* and sunny...but by the time I head home will be dark, in the 50's and probably raining! Ack!

But I don't think it will be raining this hard.

I got back home last night a few hours after dark. Only got rained on a little... not enough to soak my jeans.

This morning it was raining and cold...had Mary carry me in to work in her truck. I could have ridden, didn't feel like it then...now wishing I had. lol

Looks like the occasional days of 60-70 degree temps are gone for a few months.

I'll be putting on my winter windshield this weekend...coulda used it this morning with it at 36* on the ride in.

Yeah, that surprised him too. It was a dip that just kept getting deeper...does not seem like much when it's dry. lol


Kevin

Has this ever happened to you? Have had it happen few times to me.
