its better to regret something you have done,than something you havent.Except playing with explosives.

Does a helmet count (kinda motorcycle related)?



Then there's my assorted crap holder; keys, loose change etc:

Wow fly box, that's my dream job. My father and myself have been building rods for 98 years although only as a side line.
As a youngster, dad used to let me do the finishing on the cain rods.
When fiberglass rods became popular we thought that would be the death of cain rods but in the mid 70s when he passed, I still had 12 cain rods to finish in various stages of build.
In 82 I built my first carbon 12ft 3 peice match rod in Mississippi, my son still uses it to this day.
I've not built any for a few years but plan on doing somthing real special to mark 100 years of our involvment in the craft of rod building.

I used to work for porsche north america, heres my free 2000 dollar chair.


I made it with takeoffs from the warranty dept. and machined a big chunk of plastic to bolt to the tire and press the seat post into.
it goes up and down and spins.
everything I say is pure speculation and
I have no idea what I'm talking about  ._.

I used to collect basses until I got into Motorcycles.






I made this bass.



I've sold all but 4 basses over the last couple of years. I have all the materials and tools to make some basses and hope to do so some day.

I built this bike by hand picking every part last year.




I also build pretty much anything out of wood that anybody is willing to pay for.
