Hey guys and gals. My name is Matt. I'm 25 and I am from Western KY. I am another one of those car/bike/antique kinda guys and have lurked on this forum for awhile so I decided to sign up. I buy and sell bikes and cars as a hobby, but intend to use this forum for much more than that. Currently my bikes include:

I have a cycling background, racing BMX when I was 12 and moving to Cross Country Mountain Biking. I raced Downhill for Murray State University and currently race all of the area DH/Enduro/Super-D type races.

Also have a particular interest in rusty old cars. Currently I have a pretty unique 1963 Chevy pickup to replace my 53 bomber style Bel Air.

Welcome, whereabouts in Western Kentucky ? I'm about 45 minutes from Paducah / hour from Morganfield but up in Illinois.
 
sweet bikes and love the pick-up, welcome and enjoy

Welcome! Not sure I would have traded in that Bel Air on the pickup, and that's coming from a big fan of the 60-66 Chevy trucks! If I ever get around to finishing off the 69 Chevy truck I have now, I want my next one to be the previous generation, but that sure is a good looking Bel Air!
 
Thanks for the welcome guys. I am located in Cadiz KY, though I work in Hopkinsville and frequent Clarksville and Nashville TN quite a bit.

As far as the cars go, the Bel Air was a stock frame and stock drivetrain, so it wasn't really a driving pleasure, though it is one of my favorite cars to date. The '63 is mounted on a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer frame and drivetrain with 4wd/cruise/tilt/air(almost)/modern interior so its a little more useful of a truck!
 
Cool, so your right around the LbtL. Used to go fishing there quite a bit when I was younger, haven't been in a while though. Glad you found the place :)

I can see Lake Barkley from my front porch. I love this place.
