Default Hello from British Columbia

My name is Duane and I'm calling from Courtenay, on Vancouver Island in BC Canada. I'm a retired Air Force tech and a semi-retired motorcycle mechanic. Most of my time is now spent messing with bikes in one way or another.

I've been working on my metalworking skills over the last couple years and am making more of a priority now that I have more time.

I made a few alloy parts on my last project, a Honda Ascot street tracker.


Now, I'm getting much more ambitious on my SRX600 (alloy tank and tail).

Looking forward to participating in and learning from this great community.

Cheers

Hi Duane! Welcome. Love the stance of your bike. Has a very XR1000 feel to me.

Hi Duane, nice to see a fellow bike builder in my old stomping grounds. Canada needs more serious bike builders not just chopper hacks. Keep up the good work!
