The kid made the paper!

[Firewalker]

Well the bike my son made and dedicated to the troops over seas made it into the local paper!

I had sent in pics and a small story to the military just to pass on the good word and they sent back many stickers and a unit badge of an infantry unit in Afghanistan. With out delay we made a shield and placed it up front for the patch.

Well the local paper also heard and came out to talk to him. The rest is history. As A Dad I'm proud of him and he is already starting to work on the next bike. So when is the next build off? lol

Thanks for all the great ideas that you all have shared......

Great stuff.........
Some of the best Father / Son bonding
experiences I have ever had with my Son
were done on bikes. Now that he is in college
I miss these sessions terribly.
Spend as much time as you can with him !

I second that motion ratboy. The best times spent with my kids was also on bikes. They are heading for College soon and I try to make the most of it. Great bike and story Murray. "Per Ardua ad Astra"
