SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

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.

Looks like you're operating the lathe?
If so, I recommend safety glasses brother.
Wanna be able to read the posts, right?

Well its about time I started on finishing my tank, Having decided on the way to go with this, and after being inspired by http://www.silverstonesuperbikes.co.uk/xr69_5.html I decided to do a bit of silicon bronze welding..
Having not had much luck with miging thin sheet, although I understand you can get silicon bronze mig wire..anyway so far removed the whole tunnel section out, First attempt at brazing, really like it so intend to get some practise ;)
