Default Hi guys

A big hello from Adelaide South australia. My name is phil. I work as a firefighter here in Adelaide and enjoy my hobby of restoring older motorcycles in my time off.
Previously my rebuilds were of early seventies motocross bike including TM and RM Suzukis. There is a lot of plastic parts on these bikes so it was pretty straight forward to order a plastics kit and make these old girls look ok. I want to extend myself a little more now and start rebuilding road bikes , and to to a better job of these I am looking and making some of the parts if possible myself, and that's pretty much in a nutshell why I'm here, to look and learn from people who have the skills and passion for shaping metal .
Cheers guys regards phil
