    Today was a ride for Veterans that started at the HD dealer in Vancouver WA and ended in Albany OR. We road down the Veterans HWY I-205.
    After a stop in Wilsonville OR to pick up more riders we headed for the Vietnam memorial in Canby OR.
    We had police escorts through most towns as over 100 vets through town and town. We finally ended at a Veterans memorial in Albany. Was a great day and a great ride for all us Vets.

    Judging from the sky it looked like a fine day for the ride. I like the statue.

    It was Maddog and I enjoyed the ride. The guy with the dew rag in the 3rd from the bottom pic is my younger brother a 20 year army vet.

    Nope I'm the one taking them.

    Here is a pic of me in the middle with the wife next to me and Maddog on the right on a recent ride.

    I also have two Heritage Springers but don't like them for a touring bike.
