Well, my son just completed his mid tour leave and is now headed back to Afuckistan for another 6 months of hell on earth. "Safe travels bub" and I can't wait till you get back so we can go on rides again. I taught him to ride on the 6R and he had to get something a little more powerful. Took him to Hawaii before deployment and rented Harleys for some helmetless rides. Not smart, I know, but we sure did enjoy the rides.
