Iraqi & OEF Veterans
Just an idea to float around there and test the waters. But does anyone know of a group of OIF or OEF veteran riders? Probably apart of some of the larger veteran groups but I'm just curious.
Motorcycle culture has changed a lot since the mid-60s and early-70s to the point where a service member is almost expected to have a bike. Sadly, many times that include crotch rockets... I know of two military groups in Hawaii where there are at least 60+ riders, all military, and all on the little rice burners.
But on the boards, how about we get a count of those who've been to the Box (either one) or the jungle (for OEF-P). Some are wondering, OEF-P? Yes folks, Operation ENDURING FREEDOM-Philippines. This war is much larger than many of you have considered.... So I'll start.
OEF Support (stateside)
11 SEP 01 - Continues...
Iraq deployment
1 OCT 05 - 15 SEP 06
Baghdad, Muqdadiyah, Eastern Diyala Province (Iranian border)
Rides: '07 XL 1200L

RE: Iraqi & OEF Veterans
I served in Desert Storm and OIF 2. I ride with the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association Chapter 5 here in NH. We are veterans of all eras, but there are quite a few from OIF/OEF in the mix. Check out your states chapter at cvma.org and let em know you want to join. If your state does not have a chapter yet get one started!!
