Greetings and felicitations from Newport News, VA - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Just wanted to stop in and say Boy howdy!

I'm currently married but seperated and have 2 kids. One grown and one in HS. I also have three cats that vie for the title as queen of the house and 5 fish. I have been riding motorcycles since I was 15 but had a bit of a hiatus for 15 years. I was bitten by the bug and bought a used '97 Marauder and just traded it in for my current beast, a 2007 M50 in blue-violet pearl.

I'm 46 and retired from the U.S.Army after 20 years. I am an AH-64D Mechanic and electrician. I have worked armament on every attack helicopter the army has fielded since Vietnam as an Armament, Fire control and electrical systems technician, from AH-1G to AH-64D. I currently work for CSC as an acft mechanic maintaining AH-64D maintenance trainers for the U.S. Army here at Ft. Eustis, VA.

My main hobby is building plastic scale models and have been for 41 years.

Welcome Scott.

Building models is one of my hobbies also. It helps relieve stress and keeps you from killing people.

You gotta love the look you get in the hobbies stores though...LOL !!
