    Default A present for my Son...coming home from Iraq!

    spyder.jpgAfter having to spend almost a year in the sandbox...the boy is finally coming home!..I went out a bought him a new 2009, I think it's called an RS. The only thing I have done to it is add a larger windshield and Hindle exhaust. Rafifi2cu has been kind enough to give me some RT shocks...gonna be nice!...My son is 6'6"...285....a freakin mountain of a man. He's serving with my old outfit, the 101st...screaming eagles baby....He won't have to go back...he's going to retire this trip...I can't wait!...then it will be 2 of us drawing your tax dollars.......This spring, we are going to go get my new spyder for me so we can travel for a few months together, getting to know each other again....can't wait!....so if you see a couple old Army dogs, come say hi...just don't walk up from behind...might be a surprise......thank you all who have helped make this possible. If anyone has anything they want to hang on the bike before he gets home,,,you are more than welcome.....
