Wsup all,
I guess it all started in the 70s for me. Born in '65 parents bought me a Yamaha 60cc motorcycle in '73 to dirt bike with them. Always had a BMX bike , ( that started off as a Stingray and was converted ! Geez I wish I could find pics of that! ) . Then a hiatus from bikes- 80s / 90s / 00s / 10s/ not much biking just lots of partying, snowboarding / surfing / kiteboarding / heavy metal band / Oh ya and finnaly a real job / life ha ha !
ALways wanted to get into mountain biking and one day ~6 years ago I just said F it and bought one , started riding at my local trails which turned out to be some of the best on the East Coast ( Frederick Watershed ) . I embarked on a custom Enduro bike build in August 2019 and while researching I came across some vintage restoration videos and it really resonated with me. I wanted something to cruise around at the beach when we RV camp near Ocean City , Md so I purchased an old Typhoon for $40 and now I'm hooked ! I originally wanted to do a Full original restoration but ( with the help of the people over at THECABE it morphed into this mainly because I want a cool bike that rides well. I also just discovered the Klunkerz movie loved all of that .... !!
I'm loving all the cool bikes here and cant wait to jump in with you'all! Ive purchased a bunch of old Schwinns from CL and have lots of projects lined up !
