Lloyd Kramer is a veteran of the Vietnam War, and while he dislikes speaking about his war experiences, he did want to create a memorial to lost friends.
Kramer was inspired by a bike he saw that was airbrushed with Marine Corps symbols and decided to transform his bike too.
Taking over 70 hours, Kramer painted the names of fellow colleagues shot down between 1967 and 1969. They were surrounded by an American Eagle, a Marine Corps symbol and some images of the jet he flew.
The bike was officially unveiled last weekend, in a solemn, yet joyful dedication where, "beer flowed," Kramer said. Veterans who have seen the bike have called it a "wonderful tribute," he said.
