Another Damn Newbie
« on: July 19, 2006, 06:22:19 PM »
Hi Everyone!

It's true I'm the new guy.  It's like the first day of school when you were a kid.  Here's the story.  I found Carpy's webpage about 1 month ago.  Three days later I bought a 1980 CB750K 6k miles for $400 to turn into a cafe racer.  Three weeks later I bought a 1976 CB750F 8K miles for $150 that has a bent crank.  That was yesterday.  Now here I am. 

I live in central NH.  34 years old.  Heavily into dirtbikes.  Newly addicted Cafe' Junkie.  Probably like most guys on the site my wife is ready to kill me with the purchase of 5 dirtbikes and 2 streetbikes in two years.  Oh yeah, I also have converted the basement into a garage cuz the kitchen was too small! 

I will post some stuff in the gallery soon and put myself on the map.

That's too funny!  When I took her to the bike shop the other day SHE said, "At least it's bikes, not whores."  Bikes are cheaper anyway!
