On May 14th of last year, Combat Medic Cody Towse was killed in action while serving in Afghanistan. To honor his memory, and those of all who have been lost to war, his father commissioned Legends Motorcycles in Springville, UT to build a bike dedicated to his son. The 2008 Road King was extensively modified to resemble the famous Harley-Davidson WLA—as potent a symbol of service you can find on two wheels.

It’s a beautiful bike and a sobering tribute to all who serve their country. His father says it wasn’t built to be a sculpture, so here’s wishing him many safe miles of riding. Godspeed Cody Towse!
