- 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.
Re: everyone ok?
I was wondering about Yona . Florida seems to be alright.
I am flying to Maui out of Seattle tomorrow.
I saw someone that looked to be Maz's sister had a collision with a power pole about 15 feet above the ground. I will post a picture of it later.

We're all good here. Wind was amazing, a lot of trees down here but getting cleared up. Lost power for about 24 hours.

Re: everyone ok?
We just had some wind and rain, not as bad as they predicted.

- 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: everyone ok?
So NH not so bad, but I'm gettin tired of these 3-6 day blackouts... I mean power outages. Blackouts are a different thing entirely. :P
Thanks for askin.
Thanks for askin.
Your car should be old style
Your clothes rather new
Your chopper - a tasteful mix of the two.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: So,...I guess I'm a newb. Can I get my "General Smart-Ass" moniker back, or do I actually have to build something. Like a chopper for example. I am hoping to re-start a build that's been sitting in my shop for a couple years with most of the parts already acquired.
Just wanted to thank Dan and anyone else involved in getting this board up and running.
Dan is a personal friend of mine and one of the finest people I know. I have a world of respect for him, not just for his work here but also for reasons beyond this forum.
Not sure if that's 200 words, but that's my intro and I'm sticking to it.
BTW, I'm Mark. Not Indian, just a fanatic of the motorcycle brand.
Re: everyone ok?
We've got bad damage here. Houses and buildings destroyed. Burned out houses. People with no power or heat. many folks living on the street. But that's just a typical day in Detroit. No actual storm damage though.
