Road King 008 I just happened to be at the dealership when the new bike was opened out of the crate. Kinda neat to see it make it's arrival in Tennessee. The windshield has not been installed yet. It will have 12 miles on it when I hit the road heading for South Dakota.
South Dakota Night B4 This was taken on July 31st. Kinda looks like the Sun huh? NOT! It is the Moon shot around 9:30 PM in the barnyard on my farm.

South Dakota-Day 3 004 Farm after farm. Silo after silo. Miles and miles of the same thing. To be, the only negative thing is the smell of pig manure. You rarely get away from it, even on a breezy day.
South Dakota-Day 3 005 Note the drainage areas in a field are not planted so the hard rain will drain quickly instead of spreading thorughout the field causing erosion at the base of the crops.
