Hello all

#1 Unread post by acbarrerasjr »

Hello all, my name is AC and I'm from Newhall, California. I am also a Vietnam Veteran and have been retired for 7 years. I have been riding for about 50 yrs. I currently ride a 2004 Buell XB 12 Lightning RS. I have owned Harleys, Triumphs, Nortons and Hondas. I will be buying a Harley FXR in a few weeks. I hope to keep the Buell as well but I don't know if at my age I want to be taking care of 2 bikes. If that turns out to be the case I will sell my Buell. Laters all, AC.

Hello Aurelio and welcome to the forum. I too own a Buell although mine is an 1125CR. we sure would like to see a picture of your bike. Later dude.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

AC, welcome to the Total Motorcycle Forum.

My father-in-law was a Vietnam veteran. He flew helicopters, but he passed about two years ago. At one time, few Vietnam veterans would talk publicly about being a Vietnam veteran as if that was a shameful event in their lives, and I am glad to see that this is no longer true. I thank you for your service.

What I think was shameful was the way our Vietnam veterans where treated by the American public.

When you get a chance, please post picks of your Buell and tell us more about your riding. When you get your new H-D, we will want to hear all about it.

Safe Travels,
Richard
