Default UtahCafeRacer Intro

Hello all,

My name is Ben, I currently reside in Ogden, Utah and I've just recently started learning metal shaping. I'm really into vintage motorcycles, and I'm converting a '78 Yamaha XS 750 SE into a Cafe Racer. I thought I was just going to build one bike, but I'm already planning out the next three.

Thanks to Metalman Sweden for referring me here

I am totally amazed ( and a bit overwhelmed ) at how much information there is here. I didn't even know there was a difference between fabrication and shaping until reading over the noob stuff yesterday. This is definitely the place I've been looking for!

I'm going to order at least one DVD next month and begin making/gathering/buying up hand tools.

Again, thanks for all the welcomes!
