Pride On My Ride

Pride On My Ride

Hello Sgt. Grit,

It’s me again. I just would like to say thanks again for the wonderful online store selections. Attatched to this message are a few pics of my beloved Nissan that I’m turning into a semi racer style ride. The sticker in the middle, the lower right of the window and the licence plate frame are all from your webpage store. The stickers of Tanabe and Injen are the names of parts that are under the hood and the exhaust at the bottom of the car. The Japanese symbol above the Injen name stands for racing. read more

Motivated Staff Sergeant

Motivated Staff Sergeant

These are pictures my friend took at Rolling Thunder of a motivated Staff Sergeant of Marines. The Staff Sergeant stood out in the heat for hours while thousands of motorcycles drove by. The water was given to the Marine by a Park Police Sergeant, who has originally placed it in front of his feet. The only time the Staff Sergeant moved was to put the water behind him so nothing would be in between him and the fallen.
SEMPER FI!!!!! read more

Marine Tribute Bike

Marine Tribute Bike

Motorcycle Bio By Larry Tremblay Sr
I shall never forget that day in April of 2006 when two Marines came to my home to inform me of the death of my beloved son Joey in Iraq. During the two to three months that followed Joey’s death an idea formed in my mind to build a tribute to Joey that would make him proud and that everyone who saw it would always remember Joey and all the other young men and woman who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It is in this vein that the Marine (Tribute-Memorial) Bike was started.The Marine Tribute Bike was built for one,dedicated to a few and in honor of all who have fallen defending our great nation. My son Joey and I used to spend time together watching Jessie James on the Discovery Channel and the Biker Build Offs. We both enjoyed and admired the skill and talent it took to build a motorcycle that I thought this would be a great monument to the son I so loved and missed. read more

I have Marine emblem on rear fender, sticker on my oil tank stating “In memory of the brothers and sisters who didn’t come home. VietNam 1957-1975” and front and back of my cut-off, I wore EVERY time I rode. And believe it or not, I was lit up by LAPD, And L.A. County Sheriff more than once, I managed a beer bar in the north end of San Fernando valley. Not once in the two years working there before moving, was I stopped, for any reason. Bike was a little loud, and sometimes I rode a little fast. They lit me up, then drove on, every once in awhile, I got a nod or a wave. I supported the Red & Black. I’m always wearing my “Sateen Blouse” or full Sateen uniform, including bloused boots. read more
