Hey guys, my name is Chad, I'm from around the Charlotte, NC area. I'm 20 years old and am Currently attending UNCC.
I've been into the whole drifting thing since I was 10 or so. Starting working on cars when I was 12. The rest is history I guess. Built 3 240sx's, owned 6 or 7. Used to work at ASD in Charlotte, NC helping build some of the Falken cars that you guys might see(if you watch) competing in Formula D.
I just got my current car together after building it in my driveway for 7-8 months, now it just needs some better wheels and some paint
Did a little of this a couple weeks ago(sorry for the lack of sideskirt, dirt dropping tends to rip those off):
I've never really wanted a bike before, mainly because I didn't really think about it. All my time and money was being spent on cars.
But recently I started to want a new hobby, something cheap. I'm not good at most sports, so I figured a bike would be suiting. I've seen the "cafe racer" style around over the years and really loved the vintage look and feel they have. Research led me to want to build one. I honestly didn't think they were that popular, but I guess I was wrong.
I picked up a '72CB500 four from a couple buddies named Shannon and Mitchell that live about an hour away from me. They both know a good bit about these bikes and wanted to help me out with the build. I'll grab some pictures tomorrow. I have some on my phone, but I doubt you guys want to see some low-lit crappy quality pictures.
