Thanks to Otto for the tip on this story. Special Forces Army Chief Warrant Officer Romulio "Romy" Camargo's mission was assisting Afghanistan civilians in 2008 when the shot of a sniper rifle pierced his neck. The bullet hit a vertebra and left the 38-year-old Coral Springs man a quadriplegic. He's been rehabilitating at a Tampa VA hospital. Once an avid biker, Camargo thought he'd never again ride down Main Street during Bike Week, but his Army buddies had other ideas. Sgt. 1st Class Enrique Izquierdo and a few other Fort Bragg-based Special Forces soldiers built Camargo a customized chopper with ventilator-equipped sidecar, hydraulic shock absorbers and camouflage paint. The bike was presented to Camargo on Thursday at Daytona Harley-Davidson on Beach Street. "This was a labor of love," Izquierdo said. "Romy is my brother and hero."
