Yep! Ridden with folks from all over the world...it's about the wind in your face, no words needed.

Just as much fun as it was over 50 years ago.

Off the HD and onto Dwaynes' mini-bike.

Doing a burn-out-

LINK to a short video of getting some air on the MB.


A mini-bike like this is what started me on the path to riding Harley's.

Busy day today!

Besides all the normal stuff to do at the shop-

Stopping by the HD Dealership to test fit a new part on a bike we don't have here.

Going to the T-shirt place to approve some art for a couple of new T's

Then tonight is the first night this year of Bike Night on Beale Street-

It's beginning to warm up in northern Mississippi, so I'm much more likely to be riding my Sporty or Softail, than the Tri-Glide.

It'll be another 9-10 months before I'm riding in the snow again.

A couple of photo's from just 2 months ago, when it was 25* -







A photo from yesterday, when it was 74* -

cool thread. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you didnt catch it, your right rear tail light is out on the tri-glide

Yeah, it's weird how LED's look solid to the eye, but when viewed thru a digital camera you can see them cycling. That is what happened in those photo's above that were grabs from a video.

Last night went to opening night of Bike Night on Beale Street.

Lot's of bikes, good food, fun people watching.

I enjoyed Custer State Park about as much as anything on my solo ride up through there in 2012. Great memory.

This afternoon Devin and I spent some time looking over a part we had spent over 8 hours designing and fabbing up.

We decided it was NOT the way we wanted to go, and we've started over at square one.




I'm going to get a bit of work done this weekend...but going to be doing some riding too!
