A pic of my Harley next to the Big Round Barn in American Iron Magazine

Just got my American Iron Magazine in the mail today. They printedmy story about me beating cancer and getting back on one of my favoriterides, cruizing  down The Famous Route 66! They also added this pictureof my Harley parked next to The Big Round Barn in Arcadia, OK.     After beating Cancer I was very proud, but also very humble to seemy bike in the magazine and also on this site. So if you see a black Harley withan American Flag on the back riding down Route 66, give me a wave.  Thanks …See More
