Hello Folks. I don't usually post on forums. I don't care for people that stomp their feet and talk about how great they are. Philosophy aside, I have a passion for cars and motorcycles. I guess this is where I should stomp my feet and brag about myself.

I have spent the last 10 years restoring vintage Ferrari's to Pebble Beach winning standards. Before this I was a Mercedes-Benz dealership technician. Bla bla bla. I've worked on some neat cars. I've ice raced cars. I've autocrossed. I have a '59 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite racecar that was given to my wife and I by her father, for us to race.

I've mini road raced a Yamaha TTR125 for about five years. I've been vintage road racing a Honda CB 175 for about three years. I have about 30 motorbikes, mostly vintage Honda's.

I've trained at the Borrani factory in Italy to be an authorized Borrani wheel rebuilder.

I race for A&M Garage of Austin Texas and Motocicli Veloci of Milano Italy. I am the US rep for Motocicli Veloci, Borrani Rims, Fontana Brakes, etc.

I like old motorbikes, and neat old stuff.

Here's a picture of my bike and I having fun in the backyard, er... Road America (which is close enough).

Ciao,

I like riding my mini bike on the ice.

I did have an XS650 ice bike, but that's gone now. I got sick of loading and unloading in the van without a front brake.

My wife and I also left the chapel on our '62 Honda Dream.
