This was a really nice thing to do for a Vet and a fellow rider.

In my will my Brother-da prez-has right of first refusal on my Valkyrie I/S. My earthly remains will be cremated. I have specifically asked for my remains to be transported on a M/C-preferably on a Valkyrie and a handful of my ashes to be scattered on a highway somewhere. I spent a fair portion of my life in the high seat of an 18 wheeler. I hope and PRAY that when I do depart this life my Brother is still riding and more importantly able to carry out my wishes.
The story of that MANS last ride has touched me deeply and my eyes are Still a bit damp. I also PRAY for that Nam Vet and all my other Brothers and Sisters and especially the ones that were killed over there and are still breathing. Some of the Folks I ride P G R with have agent orange symptoms but on the surface seem to be coping with it. I did Not mean to go on this long but as a Nam Vet I have a slight idea what that ride meant to him. RIDE SAFE.

I know exactly what he meant.
My oldest brother was in Vietnam in 67 and 68.
He died in 2015 due to Agent Orange exposure.
He got himself killed in Viet Nam he just didn't know it.
