Default New Guy !

Hey Ya'll ! Well, my name is Darryl, but everyone just calls me D.B. I'm from Bakersfield, California USA. I'm a disabled X trucker, and attend school. I'm married to a great gal named Shelley who is a teacher, and we meet getting off the freeway on our motorcycles 05/04/00. I'm 48, and started riding at age 6. Both of my folks rode. The ole' fart rode H-D, and mother BMW.
I've owned a sh*t load of bikes over the years. H-D 2 pans/ 2 shovels/2 Ironhead Sporties/ 2 EVO Sporties, Honda's from 50cc to 1100, Hodaka 125, Yamaha 3 XS 650's , Jawa 350, BMW's R50 - R60- R69/S- R90/S, BSA Goldie -441 Victor, Triumph 250 Cub - Bonnie 650, 81Suzuki GS1000G, Kawasaki Mach 3 500 just to mention a few. lol
Right now my currant love is a beautiful black 2001 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 KS Deluxe named Pacience I've owned sence new. This was my first new machine, and the only one I've owned over 2 years. Absolutly nothing is stock about her. I spent 3 1/2 years doing a frame out custom, and I think she is probibly one of the top 10 most beautiful R.E's on the planet.
It would take 20 paragraphs to describe everything I've done to her. But I did most of all the work myself. I painted everything, hand worked and polished every inch of aluminum, hand worked/polished/fabricated every nut and bolt from stainless steel, fabricated coil mount/horn mount/seat mounts/toolbag mount/mudflaps, and the list goes on. Just check out my pictures, and you'll see what I'm talking about. lol
But anyway. I hope to get involved in the group here, and make some new friends. If you ever make it to Bakersfield please feel free to crash out on my floor, or just stop by to BS a while. I'll throw on a pot of beans, and make some cornbread. We are all brothers, and I'd feel insulted if you were to spend you hard earned coin on a damn motel.

Take CARE, be BAD and ride SAFE.......... D.B.
