Yet another new guy.... - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I've been building custom stuff for almost 10 years now. Started this business with my father, took over, and up until last weekend never rode nor had a license in my life.

I got my license on Monday, fired up my Duc, and haven't looked back since.

No idea what I was thinkin not getting my license until now. Glad I finally found the time to get it. My poor bikes were being neglected after years of no use.

Here's a list of my prized posessions.

1997 Ducati 900 Supersport
1978 Honda CB750
1975 Honda CB550
1948 HD Pan-Head (Chopped in the 70's by my father)

Must say I have looked around for a few weeks and think this is where I will hang my hat. Nice site and I'm proud to be here.

That's quite a story. I agree. This is the friendliest and most helpful nuthouse on the net!

Not really... I was always into cars. Anything from the 70's and earlier was my weakness. So driving things like muscle cars and rat rods always took my mind off of it.

Now buying a piece of machinery that you cannot use.... That was always the hardest part.

Not anymore!!!!!
