    Smile G'day from down under

     



    Built my first bike at age 12. Pump up scooter powered by Victor mower engine. No brakes, chased all over town by the cops. Stared my motor mechanic apprenticeship in 1971. Worked in bike shops as service mechanic, spare parts salesman & motorcycle salesman. Have been into hot roding, drag racing & bikes for my entire life. Have also done a couple of years study in mechanical engineering & have post trade certificate in EFI. Played around with turbo's & superchargers. Not afraid to have ago at repairing anything. Whipper snipers to bulldozers. Did my mechanics apprenticeship with the Post Master General. Ran a bike shop at 19..
    At 28 I cut my arm off, it took 6hrs to stitch it back on & 3yrs before i could feel my fingers. thought for a while that i would never ride again. That done went back to my trade & then worked as a spare parts manager at GM dealership & a multi-
    franchise motorcycle dealership. Did a stint as a Michelin motorcycle tyre rep. Have had a heavy Combination licence for 40yrs, Driving busses, coaches & paper trucks. Not much i have'nt had a go at. If i can help any one with the expieriance i have aquired than bring it on. Don't know every thing about everything but have trade networks & can usualy get a straight up answer.
    Cheers Zot

    Welcome Zot. Jump in anyplace the spirit moves you, and post up something on your projects or your toys sometime. With that history there must be some toys lingering around the fringes....
