Default Introduction from Iowa

Hello my name is Kevin. I’m from Sioux City, IA I’ve been a member over at Metal Shapers Association and Metal Meet for a long time but I don’t post much. Everything I posted on Metal Meet was lost in the BIG crash.

Anyway I’m a welder by trade and I have a passion for motorcycle. After building a couple bikes and buying the tanks I thought I can do this! So I took Ron Covell’s class, built an English wheel and started banging out my own tanks.

I work a full time job and work nights and weekends at the local custom motorcycle shop.

Thanks.
