New here from Kentucky
« on: January 28, 2011, 10:11:57 AM »
Hello all , I'm from Kentucky (The Bluegress state) ! Hope everyone is fine out there in cyberland  :) ! New to this forum and hope to stay around for a while ! Well a lot about me. I'm 49 years old born 05/19/1961 , so that makes me a Taurus (  :twisted:  ) . I enjoy anthing that runs on gas. I currently own a 1976 Honda cb750 Bobber (pic is my changing avatar, keep watching it changes as I change it ) and my wife has a 1985 Honda CMX Rebel 250 ,her first rode bike, new to riding this year (WOOHOO) plus we have Ford trucks,IE , 1990 Ext cab Ranger, 2.9ltr, 5 spd, 1979 F-150, 5.0ltr (roller mtr), 69 4barrel intake w/Edlebrock and headers, with a bulldog tranny, 1994 Ranger 4.0 V-6 4X4 automatic and a 1989 Nissan Ext cab with 3.0ltr automatic 4/wheeldrive. Got my first bike (motorcycle) when I was 13 ! Traded my Schwinn Stingray (bicycle) for a 90cc H-D (not running) then a week later found one that someone had on the curb (to be thrown away   :o  ), loaded it in the back of moms truck and hauled it home  :D  , between the 2 with No manuals and limited tools I created 1 running bike  :D  !!  I've worked all my life 'cept when unemployed  :(  , but that's life.I've owned and ridden all kinds of bikes, owned 4 Harleys,the first 2 being the H-D 90cc ones, 1980 Sportster and a 1995 FXD Superglide, Honda XR75 (dirt),Honda 450 (street), Yamaha 250 (street)and my current 1976 cb750 bobber  :)  . I'm a jack-of-all-trades type of person !  I started in machine shops when I was 16,worked in factories,driven trucks, operated heavy equiptment,been a mechanic in the automotive field. Worked in a Harley Davidson dealership (cool job), welded for 4 years in a fab shop. I listen a very wide range of music (just don't like the   :'(  in your beer stuff (got enough drama already), married for 20+ years (hence the music statement,lol), 2 step kids in there 20's now, the girl married w/kids (yeah so I'm a pappaw) the boy is diabetic and legally blind but he's alright though. Have 70 acres out in the country so I can do pretty much what I want (given what money I don't have,lol). I'm currently trying to set up a welding business here at home welding bikes, hardtail conversions building Custom pieces or anything else that pays   ::)    . I have three welders, 1 small stick (110 volt), 1 small Mig (110volt) and my most recent purchase, a Airco Dip-Stick 160 Multi-process (Mig,Tig,Stick) unit that's a 220volt unit. I've got a full size torch set-up, tubing bender, tools, so if you need something done and are close enough drop me a line,at (cougarscycleweld@yahoo.com).Hell if theres anything else you'ld like to know Ask !!  I'm a no-bull type of guy (the type person that if you don't want the Truth or MY opinion,Don't ask), cause you may not like my answer!!     Well that's me  :)  ! Thanks for reading.            P.S. If belong to Hondachopper.yuku,SOHC750.yuku, you've already read this since I belong to those sites as well,LOL !
I'm not prejudice, I'll weld anything that pays! Knowledge that is shared is Never Lost!!   Right is right, wrong is wrong! The truth is the truth and a lie is a lie! DEAL WITH IT ACCORDINGLY !!!   I HATE "DIAL-UP"
