While I don't have children, I am a car / bike enthusiast. Over the last 10 years what I have done is put a lot of money and time into my own training. What I've noticed is I'm a much better rider / driver because of it. This keeps me safe and gives me the opportunity to take my car and bike to...

Haha, ya right now it's in pieces I need to get some stuff painted, some new cables made and finish the subframe for the new seat. Early summer I'm hoping to have her on the road I'm itching to stretch her legs :D

Ride it! haha I have ridden my cafe project around when it was half done (but still mechanically sound) with a beat up tank, weird grips and cruiser pegs. It's all about fun and if people look at you weird they're just jealous!
