From Milwaukee to Stockton

[islnder102]

Greeting fellow ratters,

I moved to Stockton, CA from Milwaukee, WI in November 2012. I'm an old member lookin to get back into the scene, so I'm re-introducing myself. In the past, my passion was lowrider custom bikes, now my passion is vintage and rat rod bikes. As a handicapped man, I've now put my energy into my newest ratted trike which I just picked up tonight.

I hope to meet and get to know some Central Valley ratters.

Gerry

Thanks guys...I know this can't replace the ETrike by any means, but I need to start again somewhere. I'll do a thread when I eventually get the project goin.

I'm a plumbing contractor, I'm working in the Bay Area right now. My plumbing shop is off Cherokee rd. near Hwy 99.As far as the swap, we'll, I'll have to wait and see if my weekend is clear, my son may have a tee ball game. Ha! Ha ! I just got back from the Nostalgia Drags at Fomoso Raceway in Bakersfield, Great event! Top Fuel, Gassers, Hot rods, you name it! Oh! And some pretty Cool bikes as well! Blwnmny

Welcome from a fellow Stockton resident!!

 

[islnder102]

Thanks for the welcomes.

I will hopefully get the trike the way I want it. Being that I'm physically disabled, tweekin the trike the way I want may take awhile. I plan on switching the schwinn frame to a Flightliner frame I have waiting, I just don't have much energy. But when it's ready, I'll set something up.
