Well they finally got me. I got deployed with my national guard unit to IRAQ for 18 months. This sucks. The only decent thing is I'm on an air base and I'm a mechanic, and someone from the air force left a artic cat 500 cc four wheeler to our motor pool. Its not a tri-z but its better than nothing. Its hard to find time to use the computer around here. I've been fortunate the last few days to have a litte bit. They have a computer center here but the line is so long it takes an hour and a half just to get on for a half an hour. Unfortunatly that is the only place you can get on ebay. My personal computer is hooked up to the military line and they block ebay. Its going to be a long 18 months. To top it all off my brother is going to be joining me in about a month. He just got called up and ironically is coming to the same place. Talk about a bad year. On the bright side I'm a seargent and the money I make is all tax free plus my job in NY has to pay me half pay the whole time I'm here. I guess when I get home I'll have a few bucks to completely restore all 3 of my Z's. I just want to say I have been dealing with this board for a long time now, probally 5 years or so. Some of you may know who I am, I don't post much but I'm always reading and watching the board and posting help to anyones question if I can. I would just like to say there are a lot of different personalities on this board and you are all a good group of guys. I have gotten a lot in info here and am thankful for it. The fact that I can still access this board and have a piece of home with me is the best thing in the world. 3 wheeler world is the best site ever started. I hope this hasn't become a sob story, it's just that you appreciate things a bit more from over here. Oh one more thing, Kuwait is big on atv's. I was there before I got here and I saw banshee's 400ex's and all kinds of 4 wheelers. On the road in the sand, pulling wheelies, jumping. Who would have guessed. Its like a never ending Glamis. Anyway gotta go or I'll miss my ride back to the tent area. Keep it real guys and I talk to you soon.

Thank you denn, for being over there and doing your part to help fight the war on terror. Would it be possible for me to send you some 3WW stickers? I would like to do that if I can. I will send you a PM. Hang in there.

Glad someones over there who knows what to do with that ATV!!! ;)
I saw a readers article in ATV Sport from Kuwait a few months back. He lives there and rides a Raptor. He said its literaly perfect for ATVs with so much SAND. Kool you got to see that too. Maybe you can take a trip down to do some ride'n... Well may the force be with you & make it home safe.
