Smile Finally Got my bike back after 3 years

Well finally after 3 years in Germany and a PCS back to the USA and Fort Drum NY, I got my bike back and I feel like a kid at Xmas. I did not take my bike to Germany with me because of the housing that I was living in and not having a Garage. I am glad I did even though not riding sucked because when my bike arrived today after 3 years of storage by the government it was exactly as I had left it minus some dust. I washed it and polished it up and I will service it this weekend and ride. Life is as it should be again.

I was stationed here at Fort Drum from 1990-1998 with the 642nd Engineer Company under the 41st EN BN. Who were you with? Climb to Glory!
