WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 11 Issue 6 | 17 constantly adding or changing things to it. W.O.G.: I sure know how that is! Can you share with us the steps, what was done to it and who did the work? CAP.: The day I bought the bike I actually never rode it; it was rolled to the back of the dealer and they swapped the motor with a screaming eagle 120 R, added a new fuel injec on system, added the Screaming Eagle Chip Tuning Kit, added the Chopped Tour-Pack. A er that, I pre y much did what everybody else does and bought bits and pieces here and there and saved my money because I knew one day I wanted to make some major changes. When we moved back to Vegas I knew this was my chance to start building the bike. I took it to Paul Yaffe's Bagger Na on. I have been following him for quite some me and I knew he had the exper se and parts that I wanted. While the bike was there they did the "Steam Roller Touring Kit" which includes raking the front forks, adding a taller and fa er front re; they also added a SRT Front fender, Dynamo Yaxle, a Chin Spoiler, Swoop Stretched Saddlebags, the Razorback Stretched Tank with a steel stretched Dash, a Swoop Rear Fender, Smooth Side Covers, 10 inch Monkey Bars with added cross bar, Cult 45 2 into 1 Exhaust System and custom remolded my Bat Wing Fairing. A er that I took it to Raw Tin Garage in Utah, where it was painted in all of Drab Green with Tan Graphics. W.O.G.: Just a couple of things! Well the bike is a ONE-OF-A-KIND. I truly believe this is the perfect me to publish a story like yours and feature your CAPTAIN AMERICA bike with everything going on in our country. So, thank you for all the detailed informa on. What was the first bike you owned? CAP.: My first motorcycle was a Yamaha. It was handed down to me from one of my brothers. W.O.G.: Mine too. Imagine that! What was the worse bike you owned? And why? CAP.: I can honestly say I've never had a bad or a lemon for a motorcycle. W.O.G.: How old were you when God made a difference in your life for the first me? CAP.: I was 50 years old. W.O.G.: Have you had an experience with God you would like to share, that made an impact on you? CAP.: A couple of years ago I was blessed to be chosen to go to a men's Bible camp called Wild at Hart in Colorado. I had decided to ride my motorcycle there. The trip there was pre y normal and I was very excited to a end. Upon arriving I could already feel the atmosphere was different. I was one of the first to arrive and as more and more men showed up you could just feel how everything changed. It was like being in a huge protec ve bubble created by the Almighty Himself. I am not the best storyteller but what I can tell you is, as the days went by, lesson a er lesson, I could feel myself changing. I learned how to let go of certain es to people and things I had in my past which I did not need, and to see the Lord in a different light which would change me and the way I want to live the rest of my life. When I le the camp, I had this new Energy and a new outlook on life. I started riding towards Texas. I felt very different. I felt protected, sa sfied, like I had a purpose and a goal. I was charged with energy like I've never felt before, and I swear to you during my whole ride home I could feel two angels: one flying to the le of me and the other to the right of me. I can't tell you how many mes I looked over my shoulders to see if I could see them. I couldn't, but I was sure they were there. W.O.G.: I, and many of our readers know EXACTLY what you're talking about. Can you share with our readers an impac ul story form your years in the Army? CAP.: Not really. All I can say is war or conflict however you want to put it is not fun. It takes a while to get used to and you have to rely a lot on your fellow soldiers, which builds camaraderie unlike any other; those are some of the names and faces I will never forget. W.O.G.: That right there, is impac ul enough! I briefly met your wife and you seem like a happy fellow. I believe we both married up. What is "your" secret to a happy marriage? CAP.: Keep no secrets. Make all your decisions together. Try to be a good WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 11 Issue 6 | 17
