Tires for Marines in Afganistan

I don't post much but I have alittle something to say. One of my buddy's is in Afganistan and sent me a message. His unit patrols the base there and have a Polaris Ranger that they use. The tires on it are junk and won't hold air. So he asked me if I had anything and him and his guys would take up money to pay for them. The military wouldn't! And this really pissed me off so I set out on a mission to get these guys tires. So I asked all my sponsors what they could do. Factory Yamaha, JBS, and FCR suspension. All of them were in! My guy at Yamaha emailed me back and said,"So this guy is in the military and they won't get him tires". So long story short Yamaha got the $500 tires and are footing the almost $1500 shipping bill. They're working on getting the shipping finalized now. A lot of people have asked me over the last couple of years why I've stuck with Yamaha when I could be more competitive in something else, and this is one of the few reasons why. Sorry for the long story but I figured it was worth telling. I'll be sticking with my ole pig for sure, till they come out with a sport!

great job Terry

Oh, I expect it is some clerk that does not want to bother. Why mess with the inventory, while you can just laze.

  

awesome job getting them back on some new tires.

Thanks guys. I wasn't looking for any props though. Very few things piss me off, but this did! I just wanted everyone to know that this is the company most of us have been sticking by. Yeah we haven't got our Sport, YET. But this to me says a lot. Putting tires on a Polaris cause its the right thing to do. This is the email I got today.

Am leaving to Japan for a week. I will still get email while over there. The tires are being ordered today by a local dealer and will be shipped as soon as they arrive. I will throw in some swag for the guys too. I am very proud of them.

And about the radiator guards, it's a Ranger diesel, I have no idea what year? But, I can find out. 

I only have three sponsors but you can bet your ass they're the best! 
Yamaha
JBS 
FCR Suspension

Great job Terry, my best man's son was there in the mountains at a remote observation post, and would go looking for the bad guys every day but at night the Taliban would snipe and mortar them. He is retired now with a some of psychological troubles. All the our guys and girls need our support over there thanks for helping.

way to go , your a good man, god bless our troups
