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.

glad to see you guys still with us. i was afraid that being down for so long, we'd lose everybody.

i still have to deal with a spam situation that's resulted in our on-site email services being shut down, but that's unrelated to the update issue. i'll get that lined out, too. looks like i have to go through and delete a bunch of inactive user accounts.

i'm just glad to see we've still got folks here. i hope to have some stuff to post soon myself. let's all get this thing rolling again!

take care,
-dan

SELF INTRODUCTION: I've got motorcycles in my blood. Growing up with my dad riding them, I feel like I've always had my fingers tightly wound around handlebar grips. My taste for bikes and the family are strong and the only bike I'll ride is one that's been stripped down to the essentials. I don't care for all of high tech stuff on the new stuff. I just want simplicity. not a Limousine on 2 wheels.
