Texas -- The Folks (Ted and Nezzie) were out and about today on a mission with the Patriot Guard attending the 22nd annual Iwo Jima Reunion.

Members of the "greatest generation" gather in Wichita Falls, Texas every year near the anniversary of one of the most famous battles in WWII history -- The Battle of Iwo Jima/Operation Detachment February 19th thru 26th, 1945. Today's ceremonies included a reenactment of the raising of the American flag February 23, 1945 - on Mount Suribachi Japan. Patriot Guard Riders from the area consider it an honor to stand the flag line for these veterans.

Chris Kyle 1974-2013

I’ve lived the literal meaning of
the ‘land of the free’
and ‘home of the brave.’
It’s not corny for me.
I feel it in my heart.

I'm looking for just enough cloud cover today to get the job done - six more weeks of winter - we don't even want to think about it. Heads up Groundhog - the Robins are back!

Chilly Dealership Ride

January 26, 2013
Colorado USA

Well Tim had a gift card to Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson burning a hole in his pocket so we leathered-up about 1:30 pm and rolled out under gray skies with temps struggling to get out of the 30s. We didn't stay out long. Temps rose a few degrees while we were roaming around the dealership but the sun never put in an appearance.

The dot at the end of the road is a hot air balloon

Gray skies and temps struggling to get out of the 30s makes for a chilly ride

Today's ride = 32 chilly miles

Just a reminder: Freedom is not FREE

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky gleaming bright,
From afar, drawing, near, falls the night.

Vik's First Ride 2013

January 22, 2013
Colorado, USA

Woo Hoo! My first ride of 2013 started out at about 50 degrees under bright blue Colorado skies. As with most rides this time of year, this one was an errand ride aka ammo run. On the way home we had the good fortune to spy a bald eagle making lazy circles in the sky... how kool is that! The sight of such a magnificent creature always makes my day. The round trip was about 25 miles and for now it'll do.
