My dad said he got the booster mounted. Still gotta hook up the vacuum line & run brake lines. He texted today that they're headed for Key West, FL on the bikes. Hopefully he'll come back someday to finish, if he doesn't trade it in for a whole 'nother' world with a pirate flag & island girl.

Dad's a member of the American Legion Patriot Guard Freedom Riders, which do a lot to honor our nation's Veterans & various other special causes. A couple months ago they participated in the ceremony bringing a slain soldier back to my hometown. My dad can be seen in the video background a couple times, as well as riding Corporal Wooley's mother:

And another pic of him & the bike:
