We needed some Harley Davidsion photos for marketing purposes so this morning my wife and I went down to Trev Deeley and borrowed a bike for a bit.  I rode, she took the pics.  Here's a couple of sample shots.....

Sweet colour you picked.  Very nice shots.  It's going to look great on our marketing materials....

That's a nice set of pics. Looks like fun.

I added one improvement though, to take the training one step further... (in jest of course).

One of the guys I ride with on the BC Motorcycle Drill Team has titanium foot peg feelers that throw some pretty impressive sparks.  I just stick to regular steel feeler bolts though as I wear them out so fast I couldn’t afford to replace titanium all the time. 

It’s interesting that the Harleys with floorboards, at least on the bikes I’ve ridden have no feeler underneath the boards that you can replace.  When you drag those floorboards you are actually dragging the board itself.

there's more money in selling replacement floorboards than replacement bolts.....

Just another observation, do you ever ride normal? ie straight lines or on the highway or without dragging parts or without cones  etc ;D

Yeah, lots actually, but it doesn't make for very interesting photos.  Empty parking lots do tend to bring on the shenanigans though, and if there happen to be cones… well, it’s definitely GAME ON then!

Well, we needed it to be a Harley for these particular shots Spokes.  I’d be happy to drag some Yamaha pegs or boards on the ground though if anyone wants to lend me one.

You can show me how it's done when I take your course next month.  My floorboards are virgins...... ;D

Maybe you could bolt some carbide sliders from snowmobile skis under your floorboards Steve, bet they'd last awhile... they spark nice too!

Cost is a big factor.  I just buy 100 regular steel bolts & nuts at the beginning of the year for $20 and they last the season.
