Howdy
« on: February 13, 2016, 11:00:45 PM »
Hi All,

Been wrenching for a while now. Bought an old beat to #$%* KZ440 Ltd once upon a time, in fixing it up I found that I quite enjoyed wrenching, researching and sourcing on and for vintage bikes. Turned out that I got good enough at it that folks started paying me to do it. Not a lot, but enough to keep at it. Met some really cool folks and it puts a huge #$%*-eating grin on my face when I see my work go flying by. I offer buffing and polishing and some other work out of the single bay shop that I built at the house. Beats the knickers off of the Bookkeeping and Hotel & Restaurant work I did for 20 odd years.

Thanks for having me, I'll try not to pee on the carpets.  ;D

Welcome from NY. I had a KZ440 I rebuilt. Nice bike.
Dedicated to Sgt. Howard Bruckner 1950 - 1969. KIA LONG KHANH.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
