I apologize that this is a late night photo dump on Labor Day. We are not even back two weeks from California from our last trade show passing off www.LRSFoods.com to the new owners at www.SaltwaterAquarium.com As we wind down our 15 year livelihood as Americas #1 top brand of specialty aquarium foods, we are eager to launch something to "Give Back" to the community. (Hey if it doesn't involve processing hundreds of pounds of fresh NC seafood daily it HAS to be more FUN right?!?!?
Let's be honest, the events of the past 5 years have made life fixated on our phone, laptop, and TV screens, WAY MORE than we should. Life is full of way more rudeness, hate, and divisiveness, where many seem to simply plod along daily, rather than finding joy and comfort daily. it seems lately and society overall seems detached and lacking in community. As a proud public servant in law enforcement for a decade I have seen the divide in our nation, and the "Defund the police" hit hard to a lot of my brothers in blue, as it did I.
Our motto is simple..."Put down those toxic screens and get behind a Windscreen to meet your neighbors." It doesn't matter WHAT you ride......just use that time for a "Mental Reset." It works!
Enjoy the photos for now and I will add the narrative tomorrow. (We've been cramming for a week but our 501 (c)(3) certificate arrives in our hands this week...Woot Woot because we have loads of local donors on board and a local shop has already donated assorted helmets for children and adults to experience "Sidecar Smiles™" in a parking lot party.
Imagine showing up at a home for displaced or sick children with "Leo" on the DAX posing for free kid photos while we deliver plush toys, candy, love and more donations they need. Our other focus with a Vietnam Veteran on our Board is to visit retirement communities and give aging Veterans one last "Freedom Ride" while holding an American flag while doing a lap around the facility while the residents cheer their friend on. There is a LOT of support for our endeavor and we are gracious because we are sourcing insurance, legal waivers (Lawyers charge for stuff like that...), while searching for a suitable sidecar rig for daily use to be wrapped in Icarus graphics. We will get it done because WindTherapyUSA.com is catching on as we expand our website to include merchandise and build an online community to connect fellow riders.
Enjoy the photos!

Veronica's Father has been our "Pop Pop Proof of Concept" and he loves his first three rides in a sidecar, which just started this week now that he's settled into his new home. This door-to-door service is gonna spoil him....lol

We were wearing completely different hats a few weeks ago but still spreading the word at the show and guess what... a lot of folks who love motorcycles also love aquariums we discovered.
This young man was circling the pool pretending to fly with his makeshit paper airplane, so we gave him some Icarus Wings!
