RE: Incredible Gift
Your story had me choked up, & I have no kids over there, all mine are still a lil too young.
What a touching tribute to your boy, & the pinstripper dude was too cool. Thank your son for all of us, for being brave & fighting for what most of us believe in, thank you.

RE: Incredible Gift
Puddles.... that cover is really nice and exceptionally meaningful.
When my son got back from Iraq this past summer we took off on our scoots for a Border to Border Iron Butt ride (Mexico to Canada) and then over to Sturgis. While his time in Iraq was difficult for him and us, the ride was something we planned and discussed the whole time he was there and admittedly gave me something to think about other than his just being there. For obvious reasons those were a stressful 11 months, but at the same time they passed rather quickly. Needless to say it was an incredible time together and the time on the road (2 weeks) helped him to really unwind after his deployment. Hopefully you can plan a good ride with your son when he returns from Iraq.

RE: Incredible Gift
That is awesome!!
Len, I can only imagine what a great experience that was for both you and your son!!!
My son in the military picked up a sportie in July. I did not have a bike again, yet, at that time. His younger brother let me ride his Kawi 500 so that we could do a ride together. Got an awesome pic of us riding and holding hands during that ride. The three of us went on a ride at the end of July. It was GREAT to be able to be riding with my boys! I do plan on some sort of ride with my boys when he gets back. It will be a family ride. Daughter and youngest can ride 2 up with middle son and I, while older son takes his wife 2 up. All 5 of us on a ride will be awesome!
