FNG Story:
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE “RIDE” BUT IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST. WE HAD PLANNED TO TAKE THE BIKE AND NOT THE TRAILER BUT AFTER SEEING WHAT WAS TO GO WITH US ON THE LAST NIGHT PLANS CHANGED.
JOINED UP AT ANGEL FIRE ONLY TO BE TOLD “NO SAFETY CHAINS YOU CAN NOT RIDE WITH US.” SAFETY FIRST FOR US AND THOSE AROUND US. REPAIRED IN RATON AND THEN IT BEGAN THE MOST EXCITING RIDE THAT I COULD EVER HAVE.
THE PEOPLE WE MET, IN THE RIDE, FOR THE RIDE, AND ABOUT THE RIDE, TOLD IT ALL.
AMERICANS THAT ARE PROUD AND WILL NEVER LEAVE A MAN BEHIND. “NEVER FORGET” THE ENTIRE MISSION WENT TOO FAST TO RETAIN EVERYTHING SO THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS COME AGAIN IN 2011 JUST SO WE CAN GRASP ONE MORE MOMENT OF THE PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT THE TRUE AMERICAN FEELING.
I CAN NOT STOP COMMENTING TO EVERYONE ABOUT THE RIDE. HOW EVERY DETAIL WAS PRETHOUGHT AND TAKEN CARE OF AHEAD OF TIME TO ELIMINATE ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN.
BOTH MY WIFE AND MYSELF APPRECIATE HOW GRUMPY AND THE ROAD GUARDS TAIL GUNNER AND ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LIST OF VOLUNTEERS THAT TOOK CONTROL AND MADE IT WORK.
A LOT OF THINGS HAPPEN IN LIFE, SOME GOOD, SOME “NOT SO MUCH.” VIET NAM NOT SO MUCH. RFTW IS VERY NEAR THE TOP OF THE LIST OF GOOD THINGS.
HOPE TO SEE SOME OF THE FACES WE SAW THIS YEAR NEXT YEAR AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS NOW THAT WE HAVE A IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT. (4 AM GET UPS WERE TOUGH!)
NEXT YEAR THE TRAILER WILL BE READY WAY AHEAD OF TIME. NO MORE LIGHT PROBLEMS!!!
SAFE RIDING TO ALL AND SEE YOU THERE
“ALL THE WAY FOR THOSE WHO CAN NOT GO”
