New guy

Name is Rex, been riding for 32 years, all brands, own a supercharged '99 Road Star bagger, a '79 heavily modified XLCH, was going to make a drag bike out of it, a '81 GS1100 that I am restoring to bone stock, and a 2000 American King V 350 Chevy bike that I am rebuilding and adding cam, compression, and aluminum heads, plus a new clutch with a hydraulic actuation vs the stock cutter cable pull....I'm a 220lb manual laborer, but I ain't hulk Hogan.....LOL

All this work I was doing got completely suspended when I relapsed.

Sober four days now, going to get back to the good stuff soon, I absolutely LOVE building, restoring, and riding.

Rex

Glad you are here Rex and welcome. I hope you visit often. Sounds like you got a couple of beasts there, chuck up some pics for us.

Good that you were able to get back in the program....some relapse and that's it !!

I take meeting in the prison every Friday evening, and I tell the guys, especially the new ones, that if your breathing, you've been given another chance at life...the alternative is grim indeed.

Hope to see some pictures of your rides and hear good reports about your recovery.

later.............tet vet

Thanks for the welcome!!!!

I upload to Webshots.com then bring the picture up, click on 500 pixels, then go to Post In Forum and copy and paste that to the forum here. I then remove everything on either side of [IMG]............[IMG] and the picture will post.

Thanks, I'll dust off the iMac and try that later. Since I have my iPad, and I phone, I never even turn it on anymore.
