    It seems like alot of the times, i'm one of the youngest members on here.

    I'm sure there are other younger members.

    Just curious as to ages of the current group of posters.


    i'm 26. from a small farm town in nebraska. Grew up with mechanics in my life (my dad had a car repair shop).

    I've been able to hold my own for awhile, built my first go-kart at 12 (designing, welding and everything). Rebuilt my first 305 when i was 15. Did an JDM engine swap when i was 17.

    I've also been into computers all my life. First real computer job was designing a website for Ratheon (sp?) parts for airplanes. Then onto designing and programming a Trucking dispatch & brokerage system.

    I helped start up a computer company, Ibusol Computers, 7 years ago, since then and 3 owners, the company is no longer.

    The first of this year, I opened Grand Island Computers. I now own my own Car repair shop (Hunter Auto Sports), and also do mods to cars, cosmetic and performance. Will be introducing motorcycles to that as soon as I become familure with them. And Grand Island Computers, alot of business clients where i goto their business and am the "computer kid" that fixes everything.


    It allows me to be a Mr Mom and stay at home while the wife does her Nursing stuff.

    The best part, spending every day with my awesome 2 year old son. He started walking when i was 9, talking full sentences since 18. can count to 5, and knows most of the alphabet (though not in order). He'll also be riding motorcycles by the end of this summer. I got him a Razor PR200 electric minibike last year and rode him on it, this year i'm getting him to ride by himself. in a few months the training wheels will be off!

    anyways, that's my life in a nutshell right now, how about yours?

    30 here in Milwaukee, WI. I'm a full time web developer and a part time hacker. I grew up in a "real" neighborhood where people look out for each other and you never really got away with anything.

    My dad is of the Wire-and-Duct-tape school of mechanics. He kept our old International running all through grade school, but we never seemed to have enough coat hangers...

    My mom grew up just down from the old HD plant in So. Milwaukee, and all of my uncles rode. They all also drove truck and abused their bodies enough that they can't ride anymore. I haven't seen any of them since I bought the Yam, but I'm sure they'll have a few choice words about my little XJ.

    No riders on the wife's side (until her sister started riding last spring), so it took some work to convince her that motorcycles don't spontaneously explode when the rider sits on them. She still doesn't love my bike, but she's getting there.
