New to the Cult? Intros Go Here...

[forgivemeasinner]

Hey everyone! I am Joe from Ohio. I am a call center management professional who left their career to work on motorcycles. Not nearly the same money but I am much happier. I am in the process of building my first HD. Previous to this one, I have had a thing for 70's Hondas. I have built 3 750's, two bobbers and a Cafe, and a 650 Cafe. I usually find myself breaking even on them when it's time to find a new project. This past fall I came across a '00 sportster 883 I couldn't pass up. Problem was there was no way I was going to ride a purple sportster.



I have some pictures in my album but it went off to powder coat yesterday. Should have it back for finally assembly early next week. I do my own paint, metal fab, pretty much everything but welding. I know the basics of welding but don't have enough experience at it to trust my own frame, especially when I have access to phenomenal welder.



I am generally pretty quiet on forums unless I have something specific to say.

Welcome Joe! Cheers!

A buddy clued me in to take a look here, so I joined up....

Old timer on Maui, Hawaii....

Started with a 650 BSA in '63,

then a '62 FL police bike in '68, chopped it, still have it,

then a '59 FL police bike in ''69, basket case, bought it for parts,

but now decided to put it together, lot of parts missing.

Got a '91 FXDB "Sturgis" in '92, was wrecked, rebuilt it, still have it.

Got a '10 FXDB "Street Bob" in '12, my daily ride right now.

Doin' a project bike for a buddy, an 88" STD/5 speed in an old Paughco frame.

Finally retired from working for somebody else, so now I just work for me.

And only on fun stuff....

Aloha from Maui,

"2Loose" Willy

Welcome Willy! Cheers!

I'm Chris. I hail from the clean streets of Reno NV and have now settled in the equally beautiful land of Koreatown in LA. I'm a barber by trade and work at a shop in the LA farmer's market. I was raised by a single mom that was only 15 years my elder so I didn't have much growing up but I had friends with dirt bikes and she had boyfriends with choppers which fueled my infatuation. Last year, I finally saved enough coin to buy my first bike. I bought an '03 883 custom and have since been doing as much as possible to make it a bad mother fucker. Just today I've decided to stop lurking on here and introduce myself. So here goes!
