Welcome back Big Sam!
« on: August 03, 2017, 08:31:15 AM »
I just saw that Big Sam is returning from his deployment in the Middle East.  Best wishes for a safe return trip to San Diego to the family (and motorcycles)!!

Thank you for your service, Sam.

I have no idea who Big Sam is, but if he is a returning VET my hat is off to him. WELCOME HOME! 8)

Bigsam302 is the proud owner/builder of project Helen. He also serves as an officer in the US Navy.

Sam won BOTM for November 2015 with his bike, which he has been invited to show at the Inaugural Mission Built Motorcycle Show September 17, 2017.
For those in the SoCal area, this looks like a cool event.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Seven months is a long time to be away from home. I've been on a bunch of deployments and they never seem to get any easier.  I'm still trying to get adjusted to the time zone. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my bikes on the road soon.
