If anyone is still around here, I apologize for being AWOL for a while. all 3 computers in this house died within a few weeks of each other, and i've been dealing with the fallout of that ever since.
think i'm back for now, and i've got a bunch of stuff to post (whether anyone is still around or not is another question). i'll post it in case anyone does see it some day.
i'm gonna also look at updating the forum to the latest version of the software (always a scary proposition), so if anyone sees some weird stuff happening, don't sweat it.
take care,
-dan

I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hey, how about. I'm Schulz Francisco Santiago, Chile. I am a mechanic and welder, and while working in the manufacture of live traps for almost all animals my true passion are the vehicles, automobiles and motorcycles, restoration of some and making other. I congratulate you sign up for this well of knowledge, im participate in other free information community, chatarrero rat rodders Argentina, where we arrived at interesting things about how and why. Personally I have a collection of more less interesting automobiles and motorcycles, a Mercedes Benz 250 1972 automatic in restoration , a 1967 Chevy II soon to be revived as scrap pick up, and clearly my motorcycles, a Honda CB 450 Nighthawk modified as between wars bike is my current project Is a beautifull engine. I'm making the girder fork at this time, a bobber carried Motorrad, my vehicle abitual a Maico MD 250 awaiting restoration parts for, a Yamaha Enticer waiting for a change of 350 cc engine, a BMW R-67, 1954 waiting also a part of the starting lever. Also chassis, engines, tires, and parts to make what I can think of.

Re: I'm alive too
im glad to hear of yours, how you feel miss maz?. Here in Chile all folks is paranoid with covid, but no one keeps distance from each other, they act like lambs in the corral. I just want to go from the city to live in the country where life is easier. The economy is bad between covid and the communist revolutionary outbreak that began last October, is what happens when countries only live on services, nobody consumes them and you go downhill. The photos you can see on the internet are real, herds of imbeciles looting and destroying the supermarkets and services that they use themselves ... well, it is to be hoped that the violence will stop with the covid. I can not and do not want to dance again in which dance happens (el que baila pasa) with my low back pain, I felt like a Jew besieged by the Nazis. I hope everyone is well and can continue their lives and hobbies normally.
Never argue with an idiot, low to his level and beat you by experience.
