After this is all over, Are we still going to buy stuff from our enemy's just because it is cheeper.........Maybe i should have said this is a rhetorical question.....
Even though it snowed for most of the day the dealer brought my TG home from storage as we had planned. Having it out in the garage, wiping it down, and checking over a few things felt great! Hopefully some riding weather is in the near future.

There are only a million loyal people and 20 million that don’t care. Just ask a Bernie fan/supporter.

It is pretty. I hope you get to ride soon.

We've turned down a road we can never come back from.

I remember years ago, a picture of a bike with a ski mounted on the front & studded tire on the rear. Maybe something like that & you could ride !!! Just a thought. :laugh:

Well, that was eerie. Just got back from a 45 mile putt and I saw exactly one car on the road. No motorcycles...no one is out.

Yep, the last few weeks have been great with less texting drivers on the road! :clapping::clapping::clapping:

I started this thread in March of 2017 and then posted most everyday for about a year...with a photo and a note of what it was like for a day in my life as a Harley rider. Quite a few other folks posted up some of their days.
After that first year of posting almost every day, I've only posted every now and then.
With the current Shelter in Place going on, I'm still getting to ride a bit everyday, but no trips. (right now Mary & I were scheduled to be at the Trike Talk Get Together in the Texas Hill Country, but that got canceled :( )
But I do have some interesting photo's from yesterday.
With social distancing in place Dwayne and I are not filming videos in the shop, so we've been trying to get a bit creative.
Yesterday Dwayne set up his Gopro at his house...
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Video_Outakes/4-22%20Vid%208.jpg[/img]
and, at first, I was down the road a bit with a second Gopro...
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Video_Outakes/4-22%20Vid%201.jpg[/img]
...We tried filming like that, but we were having some technical challenges. So I went back to his house, we kept our distance, and recorded one video there, keeping our distance.
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Video_Outakes/4-22%20Vid%209.jpg[/img]
After shooting that vid Dwayne stayed there, and I rode to a different location...
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Video_Outakes/4-22%20Vid%203.jpg[/img]
...about 10 miles away. I set up there...
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Video_Outakes/4-22%20Vid%2034.jpg[/img]
We then shot 3 more videos like this. Each with our own Gopro filming, and us talking on the phone...
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Video_Outakes/4-22%20Vid%202.jpg[/img]
...Took hours longer to shoot the videos, but it was a bit of fun getting out and riding around.
Next I rode over to a Truck Stop about 150 yards from the shop and put the drone up...
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Video_Outakes/4-22%20Vid%207.jpg[/img]
...got some video of interstate 22 near us, not a lot of traffic...
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Video_Outakes/4-22%20Vid%206.jpg[/img]
...then went over to above the shop. Usually there's 7-8 cars and a couple of motorcycles. But with half the Team working from home, not a full lot.
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Video_Outakes/4-22%20Vid%205.jpg[/img]
It was an interesting few hours, definitely a different way to do the videos. Who knows, we may continue doing shooting like this even after the SIP is over.

Last Thursday was a beautiful day to ride in NW MS.
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Day_in_Life/DIL7/GoPro1%205-15-20%20Softail.jpg[/img]
Rode about 100 miles, taking care of some business, and shooting some video.

Not a Trike, but a bike that I really enjoy riding...
Here's a video we did recently on it-

Wasn't today, was Friday.
Thursday night we got home from a 31 day trip with the Tri Glide.
Friday it was a light rain all day.* Did not matter!* "Had" to get out and ride!* Took the long way to the shop, almost forgot my helmet.**

50 miles later I made it to the shop, 14 miles from the house. :)

When I rode to work yesterday, I did not know...
[img]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/image/Day_in_Life/DIL7/Forks%20ride%201.jpg[/img]
...that I would be wanting to carry a fork kit home for testing. lol
Did not have enough bungie cords, so resorted to packing tape.
Made it home fine, via 15 miles of back roads. Did get sprinkled on a bit. :)

We've been building our own place the first half of this year. This is what it looked like a few months ago-

Inside the soon to be offices-

We are not fully moved in yet. But some of us have started working there (the CNC machines are being moved today).
Yesterday was the first day I rode in and worked out of the new location.

Will have photos and a video tour of the inside soon.
