SELF INTRODUCTION: Member of the old board and just found everyone again. Fabricate my own parts and rebuild motors as a hobby. Latest project was a 95" upgrade to a twinkie with cams, jugs, pistons, rings, bearings, oil pump upgrade. Also did my own street head porting and posted to the old forum for some of the things to look for. I like to build high torque motors that come on around 1600 rpms and can pull to 5500.
My next project in the design stage is a twin cam hard tail with girder front end, 200 rear tire. Plan to fabricate everything I can.

Dan,
I have the board on a hard drive from Weyland's era, unfortunately the computer it's in crashed, if I can recover the info, I will get it to you.
Dan, Jim
I might have a older copy of the board if you would like me to take a look to see if I had saved it. I am thinking it was also from Weyland's era.
ANyways its glad to be back and find everyone again.

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.

Ah, the quiet guy in the corner. Nothing wrong with giving someone an attaboy when you like some work of theirs, or a good tip
they provide. You might feel like it isn't contributing, but justa bout everyone likes to be complimented on their stuff.
But not required of course.

And, since we can't see ya, it's hard to miss someone we can't see, and never hear.

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: Where to start, was a member a few years ago, wish Gary was still around.
I have a Trike build on here somewhere maybe. I know things change and hope this is for the better. Got kicked out of the shop I was using for my build a year ago this month. Noe it sits under a trap under a tree. No where to build sucks. On a good note I did get My Son into and out of welding school. He is still looking for work, damn jobs are hard to find for a young man. Daughter dropped out of collage, She is working and likes Her job. My OL is still mean as ever and I still love Her more and more everyday.
I dont know I my build made the move, not a big deal, Dan and Bigjim I did get the invite in my email.
Thanks for yalls time
Jeff

I dont know if I want to be a member of a place that would let the likes of Me in :shock:
How the hell yall been.
Been a wild year for me, lost the shop I was building in, long story.
Mt Trike has been sitting under a tarp under a tree for a year now.
No place to work on it and no time, money is another thing.
All and all life is good.
My family is doing well, Dad had heart trouble but doing better now, Mom had back surgery and got strung out on pain pills and did not know she was.
We laugh about it now but for a time we thought she was full blown Alzheimer's.
She is back to her old self now.
Well thats about all for now,
I will drop in from time to time as I get back on my Trike.

Be Safe
