Yes, it was the first really nice Sunday of the spring. Sunny and 70. Around here, that means everyone who has a bike, trike, convertible, or any other "special vehicle" hits the streets. Usually, it is one of the most dangerours days of the year to ride. Besides, I ride almost every day, year round, so missing one day is no big loss. Instead I decided to get caught up on some long overdue wrenching and practice my 12oz. curls. I also did the rear peg swap, got lazy, no photo.
My new frogskin, Thanks FrogHunter!:

IPass relocated. Had one of those holders that attaches to the handle bar. Didn't last long, this is better. I swap this unit from the cage to the bike and back again fairly frequently. This is the way I like it, quick and easy. Used the same velcro the tollway authority uses. (Available at Ace Hardware)

For fellow Patriot Guard Riders: My big flag mount, very sturdy. Assembles, or disassembles in less than 5 minutes.:

Attached to bike, no holes drilled in my OEM rack.: I fly smaller American and POW flags always. When I go on a mission, I change out the small American flag for a PGR flag. So while riding on a mission I have small PGR, small POW, and large stars and stripes. Have gotten many compliments on this set-up.

The Hot set-up. I fold the flag and keep it in my saddlebag while traveling to and from missions. No sense tempting the wind gods. Have ridden on the highway with this flag going more than 70 with no problems. I have the clips and rings installed to prevent the flag from wrapping around the staff, very effective.

If you are interested in more details on any of these mods, I have additional photos available. Just drop me a PM and I will send them, and more details along.
