    • My bike pics
Well here goes, I'm a 35 year old dude that taught myself how to ride on a 1968 Honda S 90 in the summer of 2002 I was a young 30 and had never been around bikes as an adlut even though my dad was in several bike clubs in the 60's and 70's. He was your "nice guy bad ass" type that rode custom HD choppers and had tattoos all over the place. I have early memories of Harley motors in the coat closet. I guess my mom wanted to keep me away from MC's and it probably broke my dads heart.

Back to 2002 and my landlords S90 that I dug out of the garage and had my car mechnic get running. I loved that little bike and right away I started teaching my buddies how to ride on it as well. It was time to buy my first bike so I ponyed up the cash and bought a nice and I mean a 9.2 of a 1974 CL450 candy sapphire blue.

Flash forward to 2007 and I now have owned 50 plus bikes. ALL VINTAGE. I keep around a dozen at any given time. I just finished my first frame up, every part new or polished, hot rod the engine, cool paint, tons of chrome, custom on a 1975 CB750F

My vintage bike are truely my passion and I eat, sleep, and breath old bikes.
Thanks for having me on this site. I hope to learn a lot as well as share the knowlege I have learned.

If I knew how to up load pics I'd add them. I only could add my main pic.
If you know how send a message my way.

thanks
Chris

Chris,

Welcome.
Great looking machine with a classic W.Seattle viewpoint.!
I grew up on Magnolia and my life was forever changed when I saw the Triumphs at
Dewey's Cycle. I finally did get that Triumph and a few other bikes.
I'm back in Seattle almost every summer--stay with friends in Eastlake-what a great city you have.

Phil

Welcome from...uh...Capitol Hill!  Beautiful bike, you keep a dozen around?  I don't feel so bad wanting that 550 on craigslist in my garage (with your collection, I imagine you've probably already bought it, though :)).  I like riding out in W. Seattle, I took a lot of short trips down Marine View Dr and cruising Alki.  If you're ever up on the hill on a Friday night, stop by the Cha Cha.  I'm usually getting my ass kicked at foosball...
