Now all I need is a CB750 for a Cafe Racer convert

About Me

What interest me is my girl and my CB400F SS .

Ok, so it's been a while since I updated this and there have been some big changes.

I am married now. On aug 19 2006, Brandy did me the honor of becoming my wife. I have to say that is the smartest thing I have ever done. I used to get sick when I heard people talk about ' how wonderful being married is ' but I hate to say it is true.

I got a new job, I work for a software company in Nashville. I still have to do support but I am in the programming department so they don't call me directly. This is good, this is the reward of 3 years of front line support.

So that is it for now, probably won't update this for a while so take care.

“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, shouting GERONIMO!”

Bill McKenna, professional motorcycle racer, Cycle magazine Feb. 1982
