Newbie
« on: December 11, 2011, 09:27:33 AM »
Hi there,

Just a couple of lines to tell you about myself.

Ive been lurking for a while and like the variety of projects on madmodder.

Ive been messing around with anything on two wheels longer than I care to remember. I started building a motorbike a few years back and have slowly accumulated tools and machinery to fabricate, amongst other things, a seatbase and petrol tank/fender bungs.

I am currently building a tool to cut a radius as a detail on a custom set of handlebar clamps.

Ive certainly got the 'building bug' and hope to learn some new things and hopefully pass on some of what I have learnt.

Thanks for the welcome,

@BM - I like pushbikes of all shapes and sizes and have really been in mountain biking for the past few years. Ive just got back from a weeks trail riding in Cyprus.

I am building a hardtail chopper with a Harley Ironhead motor, will post a few pictures when I get the chance to do so.
