Hey Rick, My nephew rides and was in Iraq in the first one. I don't know what you do, but he was an Army helicopter mechanic and convinced the Army to allow him to take his bike with him so he could transport parts between units. Very efficient, effective, and quick. He spent a great deal of his time there going back and forth on his bike. Just a thought...
Anyway, stay safe, God bless, and thanks to you and your family for your sacrifice.
