New here in Scottsdale,AZ from Glendale, AZ. my name is john and been ridding dirtbikes my whole life. Got my first bike 2 years ago 95 Honda VLX. trying to do a cafe/bobber/thing to it but its VERY slow going cuz its my daily AND I live in an apartment. but the main goal is to make it low, lean, and mean.1st pic is the day i got it. last is now.
New here but not new to building, riding, and chopping.
I'm choppersprocket on TCU and Hondachopper.
I have a fairly well equipped machine/fabrication shop that supports motorcycle and drag racing both cars and bikes.
My daily driver is a '72 Honda CB836 chopper survivor from the mid 70s. I have a '78 CB750 also that I use for a test bed for new products.
Other projects on the table are: CB400A trike (for my wife), CB650 digger that's half finished, XS1100 needs some freshen up and a sidecar, and a twin motor dragbike using 2 SOHC Hondas @ 1064cc each.... with a blower.
Well, gotta get back to work. Need to clear some bikes (titled frames and motors) from US Customs so I can title and sell them. I'm towing them in a trailer behind my chopper! Best work truck ever!!!

Longtime lurker, first time poster here and I am still searching/saving up for my first bike. Thanks for having such a helpful and respectful forum! Most of the stuff I've seen here makes me really itch to get a bike, really learn to ride, then start modifying.
About me: Professional snowboard instructor in the winter, utilities locator in the summer. I've wrenched a bit on all the trucks I've owned doing routine maintenance and some simple modifications. I really want to get into more difficult/in-depth wrenching/modification and motorcycles inspire me to do so!
Thanks again for being around to help the new guys out!
Just checking in as asked to by the Owners/Admins. I'm a Triumph guy at heart and building up a 1965 650cc T120R Classic Rigid Bobber from the bottom up. The forums look great and I loved the basic rules I received in my first email. I really liked the fact of tell it like it is and call BS the BS it is but politely if possible. Here is a pic of my Project Bike. Looking forward to reading more of all of the great tech tips in the American and British Bike Sections.
It is not what you ride but that you ride that counts the most and no matter what you ride we are all brothers and sisters in the wind.
Hello, New guy to CC here from KCK, Im an automation/procces tech. And a Navy vet (still a weekend warrior) I am also an MMI grad and a former HD tech. I have had a slew of old Iron heads, xs650's, and other old metric machines, Currently riding a mostly stock XS650 and chopping a T140 triumph.
New to the CC. Figure i will give a little info to start. Live in TN. Proud owner of a 1966 Triumph Chopper and a 1976 Ironhead. Def a beginner and know very little besides how to keep these two running well enough to ride the piss out of em. Will be looking for alot of info this winter...I believe the Ironhead will be going under the knife...it is way past due. Looking forward to learning from you all. PEACE!

I'm sorta new here. Been lurking for a couple of years now, but never had much to say. So today after two years, I started my '80 Ironhead up after just finishing putting it together. Here's an obligatory pic:
Hello peasantry,
been on the JJ , have a Shovel S+S delkron electroglide and in the mean time working on a project 1924 Indian scout custom .....I said CUSTOM!!!
I like chicks ,country music ,heavy metal, beer and my favorite colour is that pink colour ya see some times ......if ya lucky
Howdy y'all. GB here; old guy, been riding since the mid '70s, started on a 450, moved up to a chopped 650 BSA then to HD in '81, nothing to prove. 7 bikes in the barn; 3 shovels, 2 twincams, 1 evo bagger and a sportster in a pear tree...
I have been on here for a while but never post, have been on/off the JJ for years. I am mostly into pre unit Triumphs. I like a lot of different bikes but also into v8 engines too. My shop specializes in Triumph engines, and I am am friends with a lot of people on here already.
As far as posting technical info I usually stop myself because sometimes my experience interferes with what other experts believe, so rather than get involved in an internet shouting match I will just log off.
I am also collecting parts to build a 1955 T100R, and a Triumph Grand Prix based 500cc to run at El Mirage and Bonneville.
