Hey all, Chris here. I've been building stuff since i was a kid -- mainly go karts and dirt bikes. I got a job at an old hotrod shop while in college and continued my education of fabrication. I was given a lot of freedom and allowed to make mistakes as well as getting a lot of coaching and help. Eventually I built my own motorcycle and the tank was comprised of a cut up 1980 Honda XR500 tank(I think) with minimal shaping but a lot of cutting and sectioning...and bondo
. I really like the shape but I would like to expand my knowledge and be able to form thing out of sheet. I have access to that hot rod shop and all it's tools whenever I want, but i have been traveling around a lot and only get there in short bursts(Right now Im in Berlin, Germany). Anyway, I've already seen that there is a wealth of new information for me already available on this site and I plan to soak up as much as I can. Looks like there is a lot to soak before I start asking questions about my projects. I hope to get back in the shop and bending metal soon! Cheers, Chris.
P.S. I'll get some photos of the bike if anyone is interested.
