Like many others and myself on here. I see you have a deep passion for motorcycles. What is your motorcycle background ? You know, what got you started down this path, etc ? Where did it all start with you ? Collecting bikes and so on.

I also see your passion ,as well as a few more on this forum. My background in cycles began @ 14 , a long time ago. As with other people here ,family came along and the motorcycles went by the wayside. Kids grew up ,jumped right back in ,never lost interest.
The path with collecting and restoring-- that's always been there. I like mechanical things , not fussy .As a young lad ,fixed a iron horse wash machine motor. I had it till a few years ago-donated it to a logging museum ,it ran a sten saw believe it or not. That was the original motor for that sten saw , the fellow who restored the saw could not believe i had what he needed.
I have not posted the photo yet ( i have a few more ) photobucket problems, i have a Triumph (T120R) 1971 that i bought new in 1971. I go a long way back.
And i'm really looking forward to the 72' GT750 that's coming on Sunday. Always wanted to own one.

You do lovely restorations. Always enjoy seeing collections that have such attention to detail. Well done!
