Hi guys, this isn't my first post... though it maybe should have been
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself...
I've been lurking here on an off for a couple years. This is a great forum, I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you guys, and I hope to be able to contribute as well.
If you haven't figured it out, my name is Jesse
I live in Wisconsin, am 35 years old,, have got 1 wife, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 0 kids, and 5 bikes in the garage, one that's road worthy An'86 BMW K100rs is my "daily driver" and I've got a cb350f that I restored (cosmetically) a few years ago that now needs mechanical restoration, as well as two cb350 twins and a cb750 that I got for parts/project bikes.
I've worked construction my whole life, and tinkered with bikes and metal working in my spare time. About a year ago, I decided I really didn't like my work anymore, and that life is too short to spend most of it doing something that you hate, so I decided to "follow my bliss". I've been working on outfitting my shop so that I can produce all things metal, a lot of them will be bike related. I still need some tools and equipment, but I'm to the point now that I can actually start making things. I've got some custom sand cast tank emblems available with more in the works, as well as finned engine covers for the cb350f and cb750 + many other things. Stay tuned....
Here's some pics of the cb350 restoration:
