May 2008 American Iron Reader's Ride - thanks to everyone
The May 2008 American Iron Reader's Ride is my bike. I want to thank everyone for helping me win BOTM. It directly lead to this article and photo shoot. I thankedthe forum but it did not make the story, I can only assume it was due to the falling out between Buzz and the powers that be that run the forum. You can ride me about the trailering...it's all good (even though that was with the night train). Between the photo session with Bob Feather and the interview with Charlie...it was a great exprience. Hope that there are more bikes from the forum to come, there are manybikes much more worthy than mine on this site. Thanks again, and hope youenjoyed it.

Great news Brian...
I'll have to pick up a copy to read and see your bike again. I said from the time you started your project that your bike is worthy of many accolades. Congrats Bro...it's a beautiful scoot!

Well done XXX. I'm going to go pick up a copy at lunch. That's too bad Buzz had a falling out with the Forum. He and I PM'd a few different times. Seemed like a really nice guy.

I got that issue in the mail a week or so ago, and I still didnt read the article on the Readers Ride yet. Personally I like AI about the best of the few rags I will read.
