Hello everyone,
After a couple of years lurking in the background reading and learning from many of you on the other site (Mordor I believe) suddenly-- many of you disappeared. I searched for clues on the other site and finally I have found you all again. I have been riding my entire life, did a little play racing and a lot of track days and your old forum along with others was an incredible resource not to memtion - way more entertaining than Orange County Choppers could ever hope to achieve. The simple pettyness, the down right viciousness and the continual character degredation had made me finally join up and speak out. Please dont ever change and dont fight enough to make anyone leave. You each add just enough to make this forum better than any other forum I have sampled.
Since everone left the other site there is a certain lack of flair in thecommunictions on the other site and it a bit too sterile for me now. Well I guess enough on that for now and on with the introduction.
I am in my 50's, live close to Boston Mass, I have 2 older Ducatis and a BMW 310r which was bought for my wife but she does not like it so its for sale. I do all my own maintainance and have even made up a few prototype parts for certain projects on my bikes. I have had nearly every major brand of bike from Duc to Suzuki, Kawi, Cagiva, Aprillia, Yamaha, Honda, HD and Huquvarna and Ducati is my favorite by far. Both of my Ducati's. would be classified as Bitsa(I hope I have got that right) as they are far from stock and my 916 has a different motor now but I do still have the original. I currently cant ride, not only because its winter and close to 0' but I had shoulder surgery in May 2024 and all 5 procedures have since failed and I will be having full shoulder replacement in 2 weeks. I hope to continue to be entertained by this great forum as I recover and hopfully return to the track for late 2025 or 2026
Nice to meet you
Anthony
