Seems to me this should be National news yet I have heard nothing. Thanks for welcoming home a American hero and helping to give peace to his family.

Santa, I got the e-mail on that mission, but the doc still hasn't given me the OK to ride again after surgery Angry. Next week will be two months since I've thrown a leg over the fat girl. Had her in the shop getting front fork seals, upgraded lighting front and rear (head and tail light modulators, run turn, brake LED's on the rear, new locks on the hard bags and some safety chrome).

The bike is still for sale, so's I can pay for the antibiotics needed for the infection I got in the hospital, but I'm hoping things will work out so I don't have to let her go.

Thanks for riding that mission.

Santa,

Thank you for stepping up and also going in place of those of us who can't be there.

Doing something honorable NEVER goes out of style!

Thank you

Thanks for riding that.
We have one in Tucson this Saturday. Its a Flag line for the 162th fighter wing.
No better reason for a full face helmet and a dark shade.
