PAUL IS IN GOOD SPIRITS TODAY. THAT'S ALICE & LARRY AT THE OTHER END OF THE TRUCK.

TED AND PAUL (BACK TO CAMERA) TALK AS WE HEAD TO OUR FLAG LINE POSITION. WE HAD HEARD THAT THE PROCESSION HAD LEFT THE CHURCH AND WAS HEADING OUR WAY.

THE STATIC FLAG LINE AS SEEN FROM MY POSITION. WE DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OF THE FAMILY OR CASKET AT THE CEMETERY OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE FAMILY AND  IT IS VITAL THAT WE OBEY THE WRITTEN DIRECTIONS BY THE PGR PERTAINING TO PICTURE TAKING AT PGR MISSIONS.

THE HONOR GUARD IS IN POSITION AND WATCHING THE PROCESSION AS IT ENTERS THE CEMETERY BEHIND ME.

THE INTERNMENT SERVICE OVER, WE HEAD TO OUR BIKES TO LEAVE THE CEMETERY, RIDING IN FORMATION. THIS WAS A SPECIAL REQUEST FROM THE FAMILY.

WE LEFT THE CEMETERY AND THEN DROVE TO THE FUNERAL HOME ACROSS THE STREET AND WAITED. SOME OF THE MEMBERS WERE GOING TO RETURN TO THE CEMETERY AND GATHER UP FLAGS. I DIDN'T GO BACK TO HELP BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS BURNING AND I NEEDED TO GET HOME AND TAKE MY PAIN MEDS. I LEFT SHORTLY AFTER THE NEXT PICS WERE TAKEN. ABOVE ARE CRAZY MIKE, ALICE AND TED.

NIKI AND BOB (NEXT TO HER) GET READY TO HEAD OUT ALSO. THE OTHER FOLKS WERE FURLING THE BIG FLAGS AND PUTTING THEM INTO THEIR INDIVIDUAL SLEEVES (COVERS)

THE FINAL PICTURE OF TODAY IS OF BOB (BACK TO THE CAMERA) AND CRAZY MIKE LOOKING OVER AT US IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE            FUNERAL HOME. THIS WILL CONCLUDE THIS POST.   

IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE  INVITED BY THE FAMILY TO BE AT THE FUNERAL OF T/SGT CECIL KATZAMAN  AND BE ABLE TO HONOR THIS AMERICAN HERO. IT ALSO GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT IT WAS GREAT TO BE BACK WITH MY PGR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, A BETTER BUNCH OF FOLKS YOU'D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND.

ALL AMERICAN HAWG SERVICE 11-18-11

ON FRIDAY, 11-18-11. I WAS GOING TO RIDE OUT TO ALL AMERICAN HAWG SERVICE TO VISIT AND DUE AN UPDATE TO THEIR BUSINESS AND THEN RIDE OUT TO CRACKER BARREL, OUT NORTH ON I-44, AND PICK UP A COUPLE COFFEE CUPS FOR HE & HIS WIFE. ENDED UP GOING TO CRACKER BARREL FIRST. SCROLL DOWN AND JOIN ME FOR TODAY'S ACTIVITIES AND REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE           BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.

I PARK THE HARLEY OUT FRONT AND GO INSIDE TO BUY THE CUPS.

FIRST PERSON I SEE IS JESSICA. SHE KEEPS THE SHELVES STOCKED AND IS ONE OF THE GREETERS. SHE ALWAYS WEARS DIFFERENT HATS AND I TOLD HER I AM GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE OF HER IN EACH HAT AND SHE AGREED. SHE IS A SWEET HEART AND JANICE & I REALLY LIKE HER.

JESSICA IN THE SANTA HAT..

I BUY THE CUPS, SAY GOODBYE TO JESSICA AND HEAD TO THE HARLEY, I PUT THE CUPS IN THE SADDLEBAG, MOUNT UP AND  ALL I HEAR IS "CLICK.CLICK.CLICK", THE BATTERY IS DEAD. CRAP!!

SO, I CALL MIKE AT ALL AMERICAN HAWG SERVICE AND HE AND LANCE RUN ME OUT A NEW BATTERY. THE BATTERY THAT DIED WAS THE            ORIGINAL BATTERY IN THE BIKE WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED IN                   2006.      HERE ARE MIKE (BLACK T-SHIRT AND OWNER OF ALL                   

 AMERICAN HAWG SERVICE) AND LANCE (WHITE SHIRT) AS THEY PULL THE OLD BATTERY OFF THE BIKE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NOT KNOW, THE BATTERY SITS UNDER THE SEAT, THAT IS WHY THE              BACK/FRONT SEAT ARE OFF.                                                                  

MIKE GETS THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED AND PULLS IT OUT OF THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT

HERE ARE MIKE AND LANCE FINISHING UP WITH PUTTING THE NEW BATTERY IN PLACE.

THE BIKE FIRES RIGHT UP AND I FOLLOW MIKE & LANCE BACK TO ALL AMERICAN HAWG SERVICE, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL PART OF TOWN, NEAR THE MALL. ACT5UAL ADDRESS IS: 3905-A WAYNE  WICHITA FALLS TEXAS 76308. THE BUSINESS PHONE NUMBER IS 940-386-9100.

WE GET TO ALL AMERICAN HAWG SERVICE AND INSIDE, SMILING AS SHE ALWAYS DOES, IS MIKE'S WIFE GLORIA. SHE IS ALSO PART OWNER WITH MIKE AND SHE RUNS THE FRONT DESK AND ACCESSORIES AREA. VERY PLEASANT TO BE AROUND AND SHE AND MIKE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS OF MINE FOR YEARS.

INSIDE THE BUSINESS WAS A FELLOW PGR MEMBER AND RETIRED SGT MAJOR, PAUL. HE RIDES A BLUE HARLEY ULTRA CLASSIC

GEORGE BROUGHT HIS HARLEY IN TO MET A NEW FRONT TIRE. HERE IS MIKE TAKING PAUL'S BIKE INTO THE SERVICE AREA. AND FROM THE LOOKS OF THE SERVICE AREA, BUSINESS IS GOOD AT ALL AMERICAN HAWG SERVICE

WHILE OUT TAKING PICS OF MIKE, PAUL COMES OUT, MOUNTS UP AND GETS READY TO GO. I REALLY LIKE PAUL AND AM PROUD TO CALL HIM A FRIEND. HE WILL BE IN THE NEXT BLOG ON THE POST ABOUT THE PGR MISSION IN WICHITA FALLS TEXAS.

HERE ARE GEORGE AND MIKE, WITH GEORGE'S HARLEY UP ON THE LIFT.

LOOKING AROUND THE SERVICE AREA, I NOTICE NUMEROUS BIKES WAITING TO BE SERVICED. HERE IS A ULTRA CLASSIC

HERE IS A GOOD LOOKING SPORTY. IT WAS BROUGHT IN BY IT'S FEMALE OWNER BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD VANDALIZED IT. I THINK MIKE SAID SOMEONE HAD CUT THE TIRES AND CUT THE DRIVE BELT. HOPE THEY CATCH THE IDIOTS THAT DID THAT AND LET THE OWNER OF THE BIKE HAVE 5 MINUTES ALONE WITH THEM. AND NO, I HAVE NO IDEA WHO OWNS THE BIKE.

HERE IS A GOOD LOOKING ROAD KING WAITING TO BE SERVICED. PERSONALLY, I DO NOT LIKE LARGE WHITE WALLS ON A BIKE, BUT, HEY, WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT.  IT STILL IS A GOOD LOOKING BIKE.

AND HERE IS ANOTHER HARLEY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING SERVICED. I LIKE THAT FLAME PAINT JOB IT HAS ON IT..

ALL AMERICAN HAWG SERVICE SERVICES ALL BIKES, NOT JUST HARLEY DAVIDSON'S. HONDA GOLD WING BEING SERVICED.

ANOTHER HARLEY AWAITING SERVICING

YET ANOTHER HARLEY AWAITING SERVICING. THE OTHER BIKE NEXT TO IT BY THE FLAG, IS ATTACHED TO THE FLAG, WHICH IS EITHER METAL OR WOOD AND WILL BE HOISTED UP OUT FRONT OF THE BUSINESS AND WILL BE THEIR BUSINESS SIGN.

THE FRONT OF ALL AMERICAN HAWG SERVICE. ONCE YOU TURN ONTO WAYNE, YOU CAN'T MISS IT.

OUT FRONT OF THE BUSINESS IS LANCE'S ULTRA-CLASSIC WITH A 110 CU IN ENGINE. I AM PARKED NEXT TO LANCE AND THAT IS MIKE'S ULTRA-CLASSIC FACING THE WALL.

ANOTHER VIEW OF LANCE'S HARLEY. A VERY GOOD LOOKING AND CLEAN BIKE.

WENT BACK INSIDE AND COULDN'T RESIST TAKING A PICTURE OF THIS COKE ON THE COUNTER..JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS....

THE BREATHER ON LANCE'S HARLEY SAYS 96 CU. IN., BUT ON THE HEADS IT SAYS 110 CU. IN

HERE IS LANCE SITTING ON HIS HARLEY.                                                        

ANOTHER PICTURE OF LANCE ON HIS HARLEY

THE LAST PICTURE OF THIS POST IS OF SOME OF THE ACCESSORIES ON THE BUSINESS WALL. MY CAMERA BATTERY DIED AFTER THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN.

I ENJOYED SEEING JESSICA AT THE CRACKER BARREL HERE IN WICHITA FALLS TODAY AS WELL AS MIKE, GLORIA, LANCE, PAUL AND GEORGE DOWN AT ALL AMERICA HAWG SERVICE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING AND VISITING AGAIN SOON.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR TROOPS,BOTH IN AND OUT OF HARM'S WAY. YOUR PRAYER MAY BE THE ONE THAT SAVES ONE OF OUR TROOPS LIFE.

UNTIL NEXT POST, YA'LL BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, KEEP YOUR HEAD ON A 360 DEGREE SWIVEL, KEEP THE RUBBER ON THE ROAD AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL.............RIDE SAFE.......................JOHN

1970 CORVETTE STINGRAY FOR SALE 10-9-2011

Since it will be approximately 8 more weeks before my foot is fully healed and I get released by the Doc to ride the Harley and start with the biker posts again, that when my sister called yesterday and told me her husband & her were selling their Corvette and would I do a post on it for her, I said sure. I know old Corvette's in mint condition are hot items and that a lot of bikers own Corvette's, I know that this Corvette will not last long. So, scroll down, check out the pictures of their Corvette and, if seriously interested, give them a call at the number that will be provided on down in the post and talk to them about it. REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.

They, Ted & Vicki, are selling their 1970 Corvette Stingray. The Corvette is red on red (interior)and is a convertible with an automatic transmission. Above are Vicki & Ted in the Corvette, which has been kept in the garage.                                                                                                                                     

The engine was rebuilt in 2007 and is a 350/300 hp with 17,000 miles on it. It has the original interior that Ted was going to redo but one of the guys with Classic Auto's in Detroit Michigan told him not to touch the interior because it would enhance the value of the Corvette. It has the original wheels & hubs, AM/FM stereo (factory installed & original) and also comes with a hardtop.                        

Ted says the only thing not original are the gas tank, water pump and the main drive pulleys.

The interior is gently worn and in good shape while the rest of the Corvette is in mint condition. It has been in a lot of the classic cruises on Woodward Avenue (in Detroit) and in several of the Classic car shows in and around the Detroit Michigan area. I guess that I ought to introduce Vicki & Ted before I forget. Vicki is my baby sister and Ted is my .brother-in-law

And the last picture on the post is the rear end of the Corvette. I have ridden in this Corvette with Ted and it purrs like a kitten and is a strong running Corvette. It will put a big grin on your face as you ride around and everybody waves at you and gives you the thumbs up.                                                         

The Corvette is valued at and insured for $38,900. Ted is asking $29,500 for the Corvette, but if you are a serious buyer, he will negotiate with you. So, here's a chance for you to have an American Classic that you will be proud to show off and you may even want to enter it in car shows like Ted & Vicki did. If interested, call 313-382-3189 and speak to Ted. He can answer any and all questions about the Corvette.
