82nd Airborne on bike

[Buck Masterson]

I just saw this and thought it was the coolest pic. I love military bikes. Check out the M-16. Almost looks like he could ride in firing! If you have any more military bike photos I'd love to see them!

I bet he wasnt having as much fun as we might think. Those NVGs have no depth preception. You wouldnt be able to spot any ruts, holes or ditches.

Mmmmmmm.......................Very interesting.
The U.S. Military had thousands of troops based in and around my town during and after WW2. General MacArthur spent a lot of time in the area as well. I might have to start visiting farms in the areas the bases were set up to ask if they have any old bikes in the shed.
