Default Two more weeks....

So I'm still stuck here in Afghanistan waiting my return home... Never thought 2 weeks would seem so far away. Been done with work for a week or so now and I'm just waiting on a flight now. I've been itching for a ride and some bench time to install the mods I've ordered so far. A K&N Hypercharger, Vance and Hines Big Radius 2 into 2 pipes, and the Cobra Fi2000 PowerPro Auto Tuner will be my first round of mods. A C&C seat and 12" apes are soon to follow. Maybe next year I will be able to get to the suspension. Thanks for reading!

Congratulations on reaching this place. And thanks for taking the heat of your tour in that hell hole. I know you're not back but - keep your head down and sign all the papers - unless they try and slip you a voluntary extension of your tour. :-)

Before you know it you'll be riding and wrenching!

Man, I know the feeling. I've been home about two weeks now from the same place. That last couple weeks seemed to drag. You're almost finished!

I'm stuck in Kuwait transitioning from Iraq waiting to go home to pick up my 2012 Fat Bob so I completely understand how you feel. You will bet me home lol. :-) Well there are very few things available for mine yet so I can't even slap any mods on it yet. Well not the ones I want. Have a safe trip and ride hard and safe :-D

I've taken the trip by boat a few times, talk about a long drag, especially when they add the extra hour to your day every other day for the time zones! I guess waiting for a flight is probably just as bad. Stay safe enjoy yourself when you get home, the beer will be cold when you get here.
