Default A year away

So I left my wife and two daughters for a tax payers paid trip to South Korea for a year. Y'all can probably figure I'm military. Obviously I miss my family more than anything but by god my mind is racing thinking about my Road King sitting in the garage all alone. Any one else every leave their bikes for a stint and find yourself looking at pictures, and longing to be in the wind?

Hell, I think of mine when I'm in the house and it's parked in the garage. I can't imagine what it's like being thousands of miles away! Thanks for serving and hurry back, dude.

Thanks for your service, and keep your head up. Nothing sucks like being overseas for long periods of time while life goes on back home.

As for your Road King, I didn't have my bike while I was in so I can't relate to that specifically. But, rest assured she misses you just as much and is waiting patiently for your return.

Thank you for serving. I have to tell ya given the option of taxpayer funded trips I think the Prez picked a better itenerary than you did. Serve safely and thanks to your family as well, we always forget the sacrifice they make alongside yours.

I have only been away for a few weeks at a time traveling to China. I certainly missed the bike and the country roads with nobody around.

Thank you for your service and I hope the time goes by fast for you.

I feel the same way during winter time.
Haven't rode in over a month now.

Yes....everyday. And that's from just being at work for the day. Couldn't imagine being gone for an extended amount of time. Thank you for your service and your sacrifices. My oldest son is leaving to go overseas this week as well. You'd think after a few deployments you'd get used to it but it's hard to watch your loved one leave for the unknown. Be careful and come home safe.

When I was there went to a couple of Harley Shops there, very expensive. Have fun!
