Default Hello From Melbourne Oz

Hi there Guys

Its no good Lurking around so its time to say hi and introduce myself

I have been playing around with motorcycles all my life and have always dreamed of those exotic alloy formed cafe racers etc ha reality is rotten old dirt bikes with failing obsolete plastics so its time to build some tools and get stuck in

Looking forward to any hints / tips etc as i start to embark on some metal bashing

I am fortunate that as an ex fitter / turner i have a machine shop set up so building some tools etc is on the horizon

Thats enough about me at the moment

Nice to have a workshop out fitted with those things. On my wish list one day but no idea where I could put them though!

Invention is a combination of brains and materials.
The more brains you use, the less materials you need.
