I know how hard it is to run and operate your shop or business. I can thank all of you enough who have sent in good from your store on your own dime. We here at the academy can not wait till May to see all of you and the looks on the Cadets faces when over a hundred baggers, bobbers, choppers, stockers and sportbikes roar out of the academy. Big thanks everyone.
