    I'm 23, live in Lafayette, IN with my fiancee. I have an 81 XJ750R Seca .... first bike =)

    I guess I could mention I've built several hot 302s and 305s in 5.0 mustangs and third-gen camaros. Grown up working on cars, just taking my first crack at a street bike, enjoying it so far.

    On the 26th of June this year ... I turn the BIG SIX OH !!!
    60 Years Old!

    Who'd of thunk that a old, bald, fat fart like me would still be riding and tuning motorcycles instead of playing Golf or Shuffleboard, someplace.

    I'm still having fun twisting the Throttles on two Bikes, though ... and will probably have some kind of Bike until I'm too old to throw a leg over the seat and too weak to push the Start Button.

    43. I married off my first born yeasterday.s One down one to go.

    I'm an over educated Registared Nurse. I work at a small, rural, critical access hospital in Scotland SD as well as work as a nurse consultant on staffing matters and do the traveling contract nurse thing when I need to get out of dodge for a while.

    I'm a ADD adult without exaggeration. I have more projects than Chicago.

    I sail Hobiecats and sunfish. I'm building an old jeep trail rig. I design and built custom home HIFI speakers, real ones that take up space in your livingroom, unlike Blose systems, mine actually produce high and low frequencies. I build a paddle cedar stip kayaks too.

    I also do "house of worship" sound system consultation as a hobby.

    I'm a pretty busy guy but I aways find time to ride when its not freezing.

    I'm preparing for two weeks on the bike the last week of may and first week of june. Should be fun..

    We certainly are a pretty diverse lot arn't we but have a great mutual passion. How cool.

    There was a thread on here a day or two ago about kick starters and why they were phased out. Much as I liked to kick my bike's over and as someone said it did look cool I'm bloody glad my xj has a button, us old farts would never get going else.

    Is that your hair in your avatar Ross?
