So tonight a young man and his brother-in-law come by to look at the Sportster. I notice a USMC tattoo on his arm and ask when he was in. He says a bit and it comes up that I came from a USMC Retirement Ceremony today. I start to say who it is, and he finishes the sentence for me. Turns out they know one another from car clubs and other get togethers, so we chat about that while they check out the bike.
Needless to say, any former Marine from the past decade is likely a combat vet, and he is. He was definitely interested in the bike and his first offer is reasonably, so I give him the "fellow vet discount" and the bike is now his. I hope he enjoys it as much as I have!
