David

  4. I got 6000 on a shinko tourmaster, put 9000 on a metzler that was already on it when I bought the bike and have no idea to previous miles, and now have 3000 on an E3. Buy far I liked the shinko as for price and ride. It stuck like glue but didnt get very much in the mileage side of it. Im prone to think the E3 will do better as at 3000 miles the rear tire still looks bran new. David

  10. good for you. My first mission was a kia. And your friend was wright. You never get used to it but you do come to realise its good for the soul. For me it a management of some of my stronger emotions . I have come to realise that the things that set me off in the past are nothing to what that soldier has seen/done and given up for the likes of me. Ride proud and safe. The pgr is a greta group of folks nation wide. David

  17. ride safe and proud. Ill keep my vigiliance here. PGR is not just patriot guard riders. We are also prayer guard riders , I cant be there to help and I will not deminish your emotions by saying I understand. I will pray and lift you up in spirit. Ride strong knowing our prayers are with you and this fallen hero . godspeed and safety David
  18. I try to keep these kind of things to myself as my emotions are mine to deal with and not everyone else's. What Im asking for is a prayer if your so inclined. Only a few on here know that my mom has dementia that has been progressing rather quickly. To make things worse her mom died from dementia complications Monday night at 11:45 and mom has went on a downward spiral since then. She now has a urinary tract infection that makes her diabetes hard to handle, and her emotions are off the scales. Grandma was the last of her line as all her parents and brothers and sisters have already passed on . Mom feels like its now her resposinilty to take care of her brothers and sisters and she cant so this is killing her. Sorry if Im rambling as my own emeotions are all over the place wright now. I cant take the time to grieve my grandma because I have to take care of mom. to top it off the family has now decided that since Im the elder grandchild its my job to lead the paul bearers( spelling??). Im just thankfull beyond explanation for my wife as she is stepping up big time to take care of mom when I cant.I cant carry her casket and mom too. Thanks for letting me vent as this is the best group of folks ( family ) I can ever emagine haveing and Ill do my best to read ,listen, or do what ever I can when its some ones else's turn to need help. god bless you all David

  22. May You Rest In Peace! VanT. Barfoot died at the age of 92 on 2 March 2012. Remember the guy who wouldn't take the flag down? You might remember a news story several months ago about a crotchety old man who defied his homeowners association and refused to take down the flagpole on his property and the large flag that flew on it. Now you can find out who, exactly, that old man was. On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg -- probably didn't make much news back then. Twenty-five years later, on May 23, 1944, nearCarano, Italy, Van T. Barfoot, who had enlisted in the US Army in 1940, set out to flank German machine gun positions from which fire was coming down on his fellow soldiers. He advanced through a minefield, took out three enemy machine gun positions and returned with 17 prisoners of war. If that wasn't enough for a day's work, he later took on and destroyed three German tanks sent to retake the machine gun positions. That probably didn't make much news either, given the scope of the war, but it did earn Van T. Barfoot, who retired as a Colonel after also serving in Korea and Vietnam, a Congressional Medal of Honor. What did make news was a neighborhood association's quibble with how the 90-year-old veteran chose to fly the American flag outside his suburban Virginia home. Seems the rules said a flag could be flown on a house-mounted bracket, but, for decorum, items such as Barfoot's 21-foot flagpole were unsuitable. He had been denied a permit for the pole, erected it anyway and was facing court action if he didn't take it down. Since the story made national TV, the neighborhood association has rethought its position and agreed to indulge this old hero who dwells among them. "In the time I have left I plan to continue to fly the American flag withoutinterferenceBarfoot told The Associated Press. As well he should And if any of his neighbors still takes a notion to contest him, they might want to read his Medal of Honor citation. It indicates he's not real good at backing down. Van T. Barfoot's Medal of Honor citation: This 1944 Medal of Honor citation, listed with the National Medal of Honor Society is for Second Lieutenant Van T. Barfoot, 157th Infantry, 45th Infantry If you got this email and didn't pass it on - guess what - you deserve to get your butt kicked! WE ONLY LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE… BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE! AND, BECAUSE OF OLD MEN LIKE VAN BARFOOT! Obviously he is not related to anybody in congress
