I have been lurking on here for awhile and figure it’s about time I introduce myself. I have lived in the Ransomville/Wilson area pretty much my whole life. I am into British cars, diesel trucks, and classic UJM bikes (am I a sadist or what!). I have a 1983 ZX1100 dragbike that will hopefully see more track time this year. Motorcycles are my first love and I have a garage full of them. The current stable of bikes: 1983 Goldwing, 1982 Yamaha Vision, 1980 GS750, 1975 CB500T Bobber and the dragbike. I do all the wrenching on my stuff myself. I am a good welder and fabricator and have a couple welders in the shop. I have built about 8 bikes over the years but I tend to get bored of them once they’re finished so I sell them to get something else.  
[ATTACH=CONFIG]31852[/ATTACH] This is one I built, 1983 GPZ750, and a teaser  
[ATTACH=CONFIG]31853[/ATTACH] Yep, that is a bike towing a bike and I love it! You would not believe the looks I get when doing this, you’d think I was driving a Ferrari! I will start a thread in the bike section detailing my escapades in further detail. I am also trying to put a 1978 TR7 back together. The interior of the car is bad so if anybody has TR7 parts(ha ha wishfull thinking) hit me up. I want to find a nice mid 70’s to 80’s XJ6 eventually but I have too much going on right now. Hope to meet more people with similar interests on here. TTFN

It’s hard to not like a Lotus! I drove a Europa many moons ago. It was hard on the eyes but magic on the road!
