- SELF INTRODUCTION: Seemingly still just a wannabe, as I've not actually built a chopper yet. But I know what I'm doing. I'm startin slow, studying, tooling up, and thinking about it properly - someone here once said "The important thing about finishing your first build is to not let your ambitions exceed your abilities." I'm holdin my ambitions just a little ahead of my abilites so's I can stay motivated. Gary said the balance of time and money is key - So, I'm working that, too. Just reallly grateful to find that this incredible resource is still alive and accessible.
I'm hoping to actually connect with and make some friends here this time.
I'm in So NH repairing and riding the low buck jap junk for now... practicing, discovering my fav riding style, learning CAD, machining, designing and building tools. Lonely. I've got friends and family, and riding buds but no close chopper freaks to hold a torch. Aaaaand, I've said too much again.... - Location: So New Hampshire, USA
Re: Gary is alive
Sure is refreshing to see recent entries here.
Yeah, Curt - I scoured the country's internet all last summer for a worthy 67 c10, found one I was gonna trade my 66 Impala for but deal fell thru. Love those trucks. Ended up buying a tool (2004 gmc) instead of a toy.
Still working on chopper tools and skills. I think I'm all tooled up now. But my bike projects are taking a loooong time.

Your car should be old style
Your clothes rather new
Your chopper - a tasteful mix of the two.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
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.

Re: Gary is alive
I won't go into the whole long list, but have been semi retired the last few years without realizing it. I'm trying to get a place built in TX near several cousins. Abilene has an active rod and bike culture, making some friends there. My 91 FXR is there, all fresh except for the chip in my new paint job. No more paying for custom paint, I just screw it up. Bike runs best it ever has. Have a 68 AMX project going, looks like it will be around 430HP and hoping to keep it under 2700 lbs. I traded a pickup and some cash for a 92 low rider a few years ago. Need to adjust the pushrods, put on new shocks, tighten up new windshield, etc. Gave my 59 chevy shortbed to my son, he works on it when he has time. And I had a riverboat I wanted to sell, never had time to use it, wasn't in town enough to sell it, so I gave that to him. Win win, I can use it whenever, and he loves it, takes it out a lot.
Working on my shop/apt here in North Pole. I want to sell it in a year or so, have a place in TX, and stay at my son's place when I'm in Alaska.
Mighty fine to see all the familiar names here.
