Default last post from Iraq

Wheew---this is my last post from Iraq and it has been fun while it lasted....but I must go home now. So; in the next few days I start this long journey of "hurry up and wait" and many layovers in different countries and cities. The best part of it all is that I get home in the middle of the day...Cape Fear HD will still be open so I hope the wife understands that we have to stop there for me to finally see what it is I have paid for. Maybe even start her up so I can hear those V&H BS staggereds. I'll post again once the door to my bedroom opens, the hangover from my Cognac wears off, and I have made room in the garage and my baby is there parked. To all of those soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who have some time left in Iraq and other warzones---my prayers are with you. Thanks HDForums.com for educating me in this new world of Harleys.

Hurry home. The weather can't be that bad in N.C.. Everyone on the forum is proud of our soldiers. I have many friends over there now and I pray for their safety everyday. I keep in touch with one of my friends on AOL IM. Hard to believe I'm talking to someone in Bagdad.

Great looking bike. Hope it is everything you expected. Let us know how everything goes.

Safe journey home to you & thanks for your service. If I had my way you great people protecting the rest of us would all get Harleys for free, and a heck of a lot more than that to boot!
Thanks again - God Bless
