The above link is to a story and video about the bike that Terry and Cheryl Blaskowski had painted in tribute to their son Matt.
The original plan wasto have it painted a bit differently to give to Matt after this deployment.
After Matt was killed by the Taliban, Terry and Cheryl decided to continue having the bike painted but with a different "theme.
"This coming Thursday the bike will be unveiled at a festival prior to the NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway. Terry and Cheryl along with Uncle Jimbo and Kev from www.Blackfive.net (and hopefully Blackfive himself) and Tankerbabe will be there. The Blaskowski's are so excited about unveiling the bike. The got it put together post haste and took it out for a spin.
Everyone they encountered where ever they had it parked came over to take alook and comment about how beautiful it is. I can't wait to see it!
