Hey.
I am Eric Spinney. I am a Mechanical Engineering Technologist. I'm new here, but I've been posting around a bit just to try and poke around a bit. I like it here, I think I'll stick around and make my presence known with everyone.
So I'll break myself down a bit for everyone so hopefully I don't get taken too seriously, something I always have issues with on forums.
My education is in mechanical engineering, for the past year and a half I have been working with a crane company doing the "engineering" and project management of small and heavy lifts. I decided that it was the dullest and most unrewarding thing I have ever had to endure so I am making a career change just this month into aerospace. I'm excited, I can't wait to start and learn all about everything and have my hands in on all that shit. Not to mention it makes me sound sophisticated and a little bit sexy. Thats all I care about.
I am a big VW enthusiast, I have owned a number of different models and I love them. I think I just love having to work on stuff. Hence me being a VW guy. Right now I drive a VR6 swapped 1990 Corrado. Enough about that though.
I am new to owning motorbikes and doing things to them. I love it. I want more of it. I have an XS400.
Hate on me for not have done any performance upgrades yet, but I'm just getting into bikes. I don't exactly throw myself into corners at crazy speeds. Well this past weekend I did and it went awful.. anyway that's behind me now which means, yes, I need to make some smart upgrades to my braking and suspension and make the bike a little quicker perhaps.
In the mean time I beat the living shit out of it regularly and don't plan to stop.
I'm looking for a 1974 - 1978 CB550 to be my next bike that I want to completely tear down and rebuild. Also looking forward to getting to know everyone, and shooting the shit.
I like you all already.
