Sunday the 13th the PGR were invited to ride along in a escorted 20 mile ride to the Veterans hospital in West Palm beach. This was the first time I was visiting the Veterans.  When I got to the starting point I was a little early and the ride captain came up to me and asked if I would mind my bike being one of two to go INTO the hospital and put on display. He said you don't see many Valkyries around and it would nice to let people check it out. I said sure no problem but she is filthy dirty as I haven't shined her up in quite a while. As I said I was early and a butt load of bike started to show up, some of them very nice show condition. I gave the ride captain an out and told him if he changed his mind it was ok with me. Well he didn't and the Fat Lady and a custom chopper were side by side inside the hospital. We were having such a good time visiting the Veterans I didn't have any time to hang out with the Valk and answer any questions and we will be going back on our own to visit these hero's to show our appreciation for all they did for us.

I'm sure it was an humbling experience, yet a proud one at the same time!

I'm sure the Vets never even saw any dust on either one!
Thanks for doing us proud AND thanks from a vet.

I'm sure the Vets appreciate a dirty bike that was ridden more than a clean trophy bike that is barely ridden.
