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-

Where is Beale street located. Looks like a place I would like to go this summer
Downtown Memphis, TN. 1/2 mile from the Mississippi River.

Let us know when you'll be there. Would be great to meet up.

Last night went to opening night of Bike Night on Beale Street.
Lot's of bikes, good food, fun people watching.
A few trike pics-
This V-8 sounded great.
Nice HD conversion.
Been seeing this one for a few years.

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!
Kevin
On the way to work this morning....just something about riding deserted country roads the day after a spring rain.
Kevin
Yesterday was a great ride in...then in the afternoon there were some serious thunderstorms and heavy rain. Waited til about 6:30 to head home...just a light drizzle.
This morning dawned muggy & a little fog, but not raining.
Another great ride in!
Kevin
Yesterday I left work and took the long way home.
Hit some roads I had not been on in years.

Just finished prepping a small load to go to Powder Coat today...
...special high heat rubber to keep the powder off the threads.
A lot of work goes into the metal before it's ready for powder....
...and more welding....
...then finishing...
...then tumbling, where it is also coated with a rust inhibitor.

I was impressed with the building process at DK Customs. Devin did a super job of walking us thru the shop, building to shipping. Jim

It's been raining all day, instead of going for a ride this afternoon...
Kevin
After raining all weekend, the ride in this morning was under a completely cloudless sky....
AND it was 47 degrees!
What's up with that?
It's been in the 80's for the last week or so.
Seems like winter is taking one last breath before it dies down here.
Kevin
Uneventful & relaxing ride in today. North Mississippi has very little traffic on the roads.
This afternoon Mary and I have an appointment up in Memphis. We'll see more traffic this afternoon than we do in 6 months in Mississippi!
....and there's no lane splitting in Tennessee!
Kevin
So much road construction every time we have been thru Memphis. Be safe out there. Jim

Yeah, they were doing construction on the 240 and 55 for years. Finally finished....for now.

From where we live it is about 8 miles to the closest signal light.
In Red Banks, where I work, there is a 4 way stop, but no signal lights. It is about 7 miles to the closest signal light.
While we have ridden all over North America, including the 405 from San Diego to LA, traffic in NYC and D.C. and 100+ other cities...we prefer the relatively traffic free roads of Mississippi and other rural areas.
Below are a few photos from our ride yesterday into Memphis and back.
On the main artery from where we live...
...up toward suburbia.
Hitting the outskirts of Collierville, a suburb of Memphis
The traffic is not so bad today....
...but there is some stop-n-go on the interstate.
I know tons of folks have it a lot worse, but there is no lane splitting here, and this stuff is a stark contrast to my daily riding...
Back in Mississippi, there are a couple of cars up a ways...
...nothing behind us.
It's nice to live and ride in the "backwards" State of Mississippi.

The DOT In New Jersey out lawed 4 Way stops a few years ago...... They were causing too many 4 car Accidents....
