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.

After very little work happening on this trike for a while, Chunky has finally decided to go for an XJ 900 Yammy lump and a Bandit front end....unfortunately I discovered some problems with the frame so this has been scrapped and I'm building him a new diamond frame....pics soon :banana-dance:

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.

Maz built a tubing bender to do square tubing. She has used it for a righteous girder fork, calls it a diamond style cause the corner of the tube is forward.
Very different, and cool. She might have modified it slightly to do the backbone, or just made a new die, knowing her.
She seems to have no boundaries.
