R65 pilots are a diverse lot
« on: March 27, 2016, 11:35:24 PM »
[size=14]All the Easter guests have gone and I have slipped out to my spot in the garage where I  go to do bad things like have motorcycles, smoke cigarettes and keep an utterly messy desk,......... heaven for me.

If I went back inside I would get stuck with the after dinner clean up, better stay put for awhile i think.

I got to looking at the members page and checking out the members web sites and found some great stuff

[size=14]Did you know that there is .............[/size]

a member that is a stained glass artisan ,

another member taught me  about Moulton bicycles,

one of us restores locomotives( yes frigging trains!)

another is a audio whizkid working with major recording labels,

another is a custom bicycle builder in the Northwest,

There is a master barber with a Guzzi parked in his shop

I read about an Iranian/Turkey border crossing in the snow(brrrr),

and one of us is a custom leather artisan ( could he make a custom tool roll for the R65 rider that has everything...[size=12] how cool would that be![/size])

Who's the bicycle builder?

I'm an amateur forester, only on my own land.
