Welcome to the forum from Cincinnati (moving to Phoenix in one week!)&nbsp\\; The forum is a great place.&nbsp\\; They have some glitches now, but they'll work through them.

Lets see if this works. Here is a pic of our first ground up chopper. Named Manic Depression, from the Hendrics song, it was truly a frusterating mess. We built this bike and one other for the Full Throttle Florida builders invationional in Clear Water Florida this past January. This and one other bike was compleeted in just 6 weeks......LONG DAYS AND NIGHTS.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Manic is the blue faded into green flake bike. The other is ReeRun. Named because we actually built this bike twice. The first time we did what the owner wanted us to do. After looking at some of our other work, he braught it back and gave us free run with it. I have posted more pics in the photo album area if anyone is interested. By teh way, my avatar is my Suzuki....

Welcome to the forum!! I am a bike builder/ fabricator/ painter also and hope to learn from you, so please share some of your work with us!!
Dido Bro. I have put some pics in the album area, not sure if it worked or not. I am not very computer savy. I posted a couple in here of our chops that we have done, unfortunately they are not great pics. Would love to see some of your stuff as well.
