Posted this up 'cause it's not something you're likely to see every day.
I was asked to publish it on a few bikes sites, thought I'd add it here at SF Forum also.

Uuuuuugh!!!! The military always finds a way to take the fun things! Here I am (Worldrover1) somewhere in Iraq about to embark on a Long Range Recon Patrol. I am loaded down with an MP5-SD, slicenced SBR, plenty of ammo, a few anti-pursuit mines and a few "lickys & chewys" and H2O for the week long affair. And if you think riding all night is stressful......try doing it with night vision and oh, by the way........anyone who sees you is gonna try to kill you!!! Can I officially call this an "Extreme Sport"......oh well, I am happy with te title....ADVenture Rider. Oh, our moto down here in Iraq......."Ride it like you stole it"!!! Cheers mates. smilewinkgrin

-  Very cool Pic.  As an old Cavalry trooper, I always like to keep track of what's going on with the recon troops.  I haven't been able to find out anything about US bike troops (although I've heard groups like the 82nd and 101st Airborn have them.) 
 
Thanks
