My dad was a drug addict who lived in the street and tried to murder my Mom when I was 8. He looks like that doofy keyboarder from that Apache music video.

I am infinitely cooler than him even though I post in PYF.

The photos you posted seemed pretty cool, they were mountain like ones right?

You're setting yourself a low bar there though, are you cooler than sexy construction worker dad, professional body builder and judo dad, bad rear end biker dude dad, and hippy commune dad?

I had a busy long weekend! :buddy: I visited a friend on the Delaware Bay.

He made me wear his hat. It was in exchange for getting to sit at his drum kit, so I figure it was a fair trade.


Then we all got to rescue a bunch of horseshoe crabs while we were wandering around the beach after midnight. It was pretty cool. :3:

My dad lives in a cabin in the woods where he has constructed a throne made of old Star Trek VHS tapes and that he accesses by dirt road on his motorcycle.

He has heart problems and no cell reception at home and tells us that his corpse being found weeks later gnawed upon by raccoons sounds "loving metal" :shrug:

Edit: the mullet of a man with a Star Trek throne



Quoting from the previous page because yes, that is very loving metal. The corpse thing more so than the VHS throne, though the latter is metal in a GBS-esque way.

Actually there were about 30+ of them flipped over from the storm that went through. All the ones that were together we made sure to flip together. Then they wandered off into the waves, still together.

That is my 1958 Royal Enfield Super Meteor, have had it since I was a kid, and worked my whole life on it to get it juuuust right. It is military inspired of course. Basically any military actual build, or style is going to be very popular. You will find them in barns and country auctions mostly. (or else I do). You are obviously in the thousands, even just for parts and restoration. Throw a genuine military harley at me I'd.. well I am not sure what to quote, lots. I currently have one in the shop, but it is being chopped. I have considered turning the enfield into a cafe bike, mostly because I am bored.

I am wondering what an odd thing to put as profession if not real. Pasty Chef?

The males had, like, little mitteny looking claspers to hold onto the females. And I think the whole "horseshoe" thing has more to do with the shape of the crab itself instead of its feet.

Fun fact: they are considered living fossils, because they've pretty much remained unchanged as a species since before dinosaurs existed. They are also more closely related to the ancient sea scorpions that were alive way back in the day than they are to crabs. :eng101:

My dad got in touch with a lot of his old biker friends (think teen and up) several years back, and so many people were asking to use our machinery that they started hanging out together while one or two did some work. It was called Toxic Tuesday, beer, paint stripper and coils. I would pop in, say hello, have a beer. Then I would work on my bike in the corner and steal a beer. and then it became a weekly thing where I would hang out with the guys. Wear my coveralls, get dirty, get hurt, and learn SO much from the guys. Then I joined a group in another town on tuesdays, and my father would drive me there. So it became Wicked Wednesdays. Same deal, different email header.

The guys noticed my handy work and would bring their projects for me to do for them. What with my dainty hands I could handle bolts and wiring more easily. But my favourite thing is stripping a whole bike and restoring to perfection, best at stripping/grinding and the fine details. I love to spray, to bake, to detail.... I get paid nicely for my work. I also buy err... I don't know how to put it in a pc term, so oh well sue me, jap bikes. I would buy honda's yamaha's, suzukis etc in poor condition, research what is in demand and clean up those parts and sell them at rallies, online, through connections. The entire upstairs is my work area of old and dead motorcycles, that and snow tires.

Having those men around me makes me feel safe, and accepted. I won a scholarship for automech and got poo poo from all the guys. Real men, real grown up, experienced guys think I am the bee's knees so I choose that to define myself as.

not technically. Some people call it a hobby, but I am not gluing together cardboard airplanes. I work projects when they come, and seek out projects when things are dry. Sometimes we just sit and tell war stories, or what a trouble maker my father was in the way back.

Technically I am a nursing person. But I consider my motorcycle junk to be my real work. I am not paid on a salary, I am paid by project. Last summer I rebuilt 2 antique Vincents worth well over 100k and made a very nice bonus. I would explain more deeply about my situation, but goons can be very twisty with personal information.

Often I work nights because I have more peace. But that is a trouble because you cannot rev at 3am with neighbours.


I adore what I do. Adore
