New from North Carolina
« on: January 01, 2012, 08:33:00 AM »
Hey guys....

My name is Pete and live in Western North Carolina. Grew up in East TN where my family owned mulitple motorcycle dealerships, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph, Maico, MZ amoung others. Been riding since I was 4 years old, 50 years worth. Currently have a Harley Street Glide, (don't kick me out for this).

 However I have gone over to the dark side, my wife bought me a bone stock 1975 CB550 as a Christmas gift. I am going to try to create a nice little cafe racer. I have created a web site, which is in my profile, I highjacked a photo off the net just to get up and running, but I would like to create one similar to the pic.

I hope to add some things to the site, however I know I'll get more information than I post.

Thanks,
Pete

What town are you in Pete?    I'm probably not too far from you.  Welcome.
