A Day in the Life...
Naked is good...isn't it? 
Yeah, it does look a bit unfinished in the pic....but when I am sitting on it, and have a view of that big ole chrome headlight bucket in front of me, and the wind in my face, it is a much more visceral experience than riding behind the windshield.

Unfinished is a better way to put it. My wife rode her Heritage with windshield 430 miles today right along with me on the Street Glide. She loved it,
her longest single day yet.

Took it off my 1200C, too. Nice in rain and when there's still snow on the ground, but on a day like today, 80+ and high humidity, my mesh jacket would be a personal sauna behind a windshield. Still is, at stoplights. Today's ride, I took some farmland detours to avoid those. Saw lots of bikes out today. Don't think I ever got much over 60, lotta cops cruising today, even one on a farm road with a 40mph limit. I was out for the breeze, not the speed, anyway, day like today, no hurry to get home.

Sometimes I gotta work on em instead of ride em.
I made a small tweak to the Sporty yesterday.
With the floorboards, I no longer need the 2" forward extensions.
So off they came...
I like the floorboards even more...
...without the extensions. I can still stretch out as far as I want, but they are far enough back that I can easily stand up on them while riding now.
Pic of them folded up.
Out riding...
...testing them out in the new location.

Mary fixes me an apple and some strawberries to take to work each morning.
Here is what they look like upon arriving at the shop when I ride the Softail and put them in the saddlebag....
...here is what they look like upon arriving at the shop when I ride the Sportster and have them in a backpack strapped to the sissy bar. Some serious vibes happening on that sissy bar. lol
They taste good either way.

It was warm yesterday...like 95 actual and 105 heat index...when we headed up to Beale Street in Memphis.
We got there early...around 6pm.
Saw this helmet...must look even more interesting going down the road at speed.
It's starting to fill up a bit-
A few Slingshots rode (drove?) by-
This family took turns...
...taking photos in front of our Softail.
Bikers Lives Matter!
After the sun went down, and it cooled off from 95 to 90, it got pretty crowded.
As usual, we had a great meal and fun watching the people and bikes go by.
Last nite was the first time I rode the Softail to Beale Street sans the windshield. It was pretty interesting that it got Far more folks gathering around it and talking about it than normal (like 10 times more folks) and the only difference was no windshield.
