i havent posted much on here because i havent been doing much chopper work . bought a new house with a garage so i finally got my own shop and still setting things up seems like you never have enough space . i been mostly working on the 67 chevy for the last couple years doing a frame off restoration . my dad has been having problems holding up his bike at lights so he gave me his ultra classic and i been changing it to fit me better . i never drove a full on geezer glide before and now i know why . just to change the bars ya gotta pull half the bike apart so not really chopper stuff but i have been working

Seems like a decent sized shop congrats man. Course I’m not working on a truck either. I’ve been more off than on myself but still manage to get something done once in a while.

i know what ya mean about space, curt. my "garage" is 3 20' shipping containers welded together with the walls between cut out. all together 20X24' but not even close to enough.

getting ready to do a frame-off resto on my 69 VW too, so feeling your pain there, too.

have fun playing with the geezer glide though.

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.
