to both me and one other guy's eyes, this dude has gear that does not jive with regular army or air force, but is of a special operations nature; there are no caption for hte picture and we do not know the origins of this picture....in the picture, you can clearly see that he is wearing a PASGT vest with six color cover, a very common motorbike helmet, a Kawasaki motorcyle (the only info on the picture actually. lol) modified for duty in Kuwait. I personally think he is using an AWS type MP5 vest/chest rig, Nkomo has an example of one that holds 19 magazines for the MP5, and we think the rider is also wearign a MODIFIED 6 color top to boot! what say you guys?

I can't make out much, but it does appear he is wearing non-standard kit, cool photo, and I LOVE the bike too

According to my book which has this picture, he is Delta Force or SF.

Speaking of his kit, his DBDU doesn't look like a modified one.

He doesnt have a chest rig, that's an M17 gas mask bag.

Haha yep. I keep looking at this picture for the chest rig but didn't see any. Turns out camodeafie talked about the M17 gas mask bag.

DERP. now I see the M17 gas mask bag. huh. okay lol....

He could also be a Cav Scout. Using bikes is a practice that comes and goes every few years it seems. I've been in two Cav units where the Squadron commander created a "Light Horse" platoon by pulling troopers from the line Scout Platoons. One I was in used the old Gun jeeps and bikes, then another that a buddy was in in the early 90's used Humvees and bikes.
