One minor accident on bike following old ladies too close, put it down to avoid a hard hit, no injuries on street.
Broke everything on dirt, broke foot off my right leg 2004 climbing mountains on my ATV, broke both hands and all fingers on dirt bikes. NHRA Drag racing experience to super comp class in cage. Step father owned Grand National NASCAR car in 70's, Ive got a few rides under my belt. Ive driven a car 171mph and would like to go faster, top fuel or land speed runs.
Been to jail in Georgia for speeding alone three times...........if you run hard you gotta be willing to pay.........jacked insurance for the rest of my life, but no complaints, love the ride.

Mechanic? yes, certified MIG and TIG welder, former professional fabricator / prototype fabricator, cnc, plasma, waterjet, whatever, if you have a drawing or a manual I can take it apart and put it back together.
