Cool Home from Iraq, first ride yesterday in 190 days
Just got back 2 days ago and got to take the bike out with my brother and buddy, went only about 35 miles but it felt like heaven. You never know how much you miss something until you don't have it. My wife couldn't go because she is 39 weeks prego. If she could have gone it would have been the best ride ever to date. Well just wanted to say back in the states and gonna look for a new bike for my new son, thinkin of the 1200 Nightster so dad can play with it too. Got some new things gonna do with the wife's 03 EGC like 95 kit with new cams and heads. Lots of plans and now I am home in the states to do them. Glad to be home and glad to keep this country free to ride.

Ride Free or Leave
