Figured I should make an intro, being as I've already posted a few times.
Name's Roger. Picked up a Gemini from a swap meet in Cedar rapids for $50, to discover it's not a commonplace bike. Got another a few weeks later from Wisconsin for $125. Have all the major pieces now to put together a relatively stock bike for the grandkids, and maybe bike races at the old car shows I go to.
Work as an industrial maintenance electrician, age: 58, retired Army National Guard, (21 years).
Also love drag racing, but prefer the old slant six Mopar engine. Have an '81 Dodge Challenger (Mitsubishi-built) as a drag car, and a '23 T (kit car) to tool around in during the summer, both powered by the leaning tower of power.
Firearms and target shooting enthusiast, but can't seem to find enough time to get out much.
Next "dream" hot rod project is a 55-60 BMW Isetta 300, (Steve Urkell car), built as an early-mid 60's altered gasser, but the body shell isn't something you find easily, (at least withing my budget).
