.... And a good day to you all!!! Hailing from Louisiana here, new to the forum but have been lurking for a couple weeks. I currently am in the planning phase of my first rat rod bike and found this forum to be a wealth of knowledge and information. I've got a pretty strong background in tinkering with older cars, trucks, and basically being a grease monkey in my spare time. I'm sure that passion was sprung from tinkering with bikes when I was a kid, but I haven't ridden in years. So like most of you had at some point, I got that itch, that longing for a true custom bike to cruise around in; a real head turner that just screams "ME". I'm really looking forward to learning a lot here and, hopefully, in some way contribute.
