Default As American as it gets

Riding up into northwest Connecticut today, enjoying some of the most beautiful roads in the land, on a gorgeous summer day. Came across this church with a lawn full of American flags, a classic New England scene. Had to pull over and get a couple of pics. That's my 6 year old son in the sidecar. Moments like this make me all the more grateful for the brave men and women who have fought and continue to fight to preserve what we have. Just thought I'd share a bit.

Hi Ron. Sounds great. I'm up in Kent for the week if you feel like riding up this way. The roads are awesome up here. Come on up. I'll have a pot of coffee waiting for ya.

Thanks for sharing those pics and keep them coming if you ever have the inling to do so. I'm a Hudson Valley child and miss the scenery that area has to offer. Been overseas for 16 years now and finishing up my last overseas assignment and then I will be back where I belong. Can't wait to run my HD straight up the Hudson.
