so, after being one of the guests listed in members using this forum for almost a year, i finally decided to become a rat. problems with the computer & email kept me from joining sooner, but i think i got it figured out, or should i say "fingered" out in referance to my one-finger typeing:lol: i live halfway between pittsburgh and erie,pa, with my wife and 2 kids that are the reason i got back into bikes. its a great way to spend time with them, they enjoy wrenchin & ridin as much as i do. as a recovering alcoholic, i find it therapudic also. nothin better than ridin a well-maintained machine with the ones you love. we havent really built anything really custom yet, but i have lots of ideas in my head. i love all the fabrication you guys do on here, ive been visiting this site for so long i feel like i already know alot of you. cant think of much else to say at the moment, im just happy to be here.
