Thanks for your service, thats really cool of you.
Great story too, a very American tale
I love the bike.
The only thing I am not in love with are the bars.
It i s he one bike that screams apes ad I am not an ape guy, I like beachbars, which would also look great on that bike for an older look with that springer front end.
I love the look of the Xbones.

Great bike, I hope you ride safe and enjoy it!!

I have to admit that I usually don't care for most of the "customized" bikes that forum members post here. But every once in awhile someone with some talent and vision comes along and creates a masterpiece and IMO you are one of those guys.

Thanks for the great story, your service to the country and sharing your most excellent ride with us!
