Hello from North East UK

Hello all.

I live on the North East coast of England and I've been fascinated by models of all types ever since my uncle used to take me to see the model boats on the local park lake. That was 50 or so years ago, I'm now 57. I bought myself a small lathe and a small mill about 5 years ago and I've been using them to make up odd bits and pieces for my motor-bikes, I have three, a 1977 Moto Guzzi Le-Mans, a 1990 Moto Guzzi 650 and a 1994 Ducati Monster

I've been looking around lots of model engimeering sites for quite some time, I've even managed to make four small engines, starting off with the EZ engine, then a Pug, then Bogstandards Paddleducks and I'm finishing off an Elmers 24 beam engine.. Of course I've got to fit all this in with work and family but I can usually find a couple of hours a week to escape to my garage and relax, weather permitting of course as it's been a bit cold of late.

Regards

Doug

Thanks everyone. I'm from South Shields, a sandancer born and bred. I'll have to try and take a pic or two when I get time. I've got a couple of bike related jobs to do this weekend. Clutch cable snapped on the way to work so I'll have to make a new one up and the oil pressure sensor started leaking so that's to sort out too. Just wondering what the third thing will be.
