Dave, welcome to the forum and the Elio family. There are many veterans on this site and we all appreciate your service. Looking forward to picking up my Elio before Christmas 2016 and in fact hope I have it for the Veteran's Day Parade. Enjoy the journey with us.61 in February, hope to pick up my Elio in Shreveport by 62nd birthday. My Dad was a motorcyclist, and had me riding mini bikes around age 8, racing dirt bikes by age 12, and at my house today we have a Yamaha Royal Star Venture (wife and I when riding 2-up), Yamaha V-Max (son), Honda Gold Wing (wife), and Honda Valkyrie (me solo). I was injured in an unscheduled landing of a CH-53 in Iraq in 2002, ending my military career. My Honda Valkyrie and my Toyota Prius have "Disabled Veteran" license tags on them. I walk funny, but when on a motorcycle I don't limp at all. Some days I just can't handle 2 wheels, so the Elio will be a welcome addition to our garage and barn.
