New guy from Omaha, Nebraska

I'm Steve and I enjoy rehabbing old bikes!  I have 2 Gpz 550's right now, a 1982 that I am doing trial and error to rejet so it runs well throughout the entire powerband, and a 1984 that only has a few cosmetic issues that are being corrected. I have a very cherry '83 Honda CBX with only 3700 miles, a big BMW K1600 to do trips on, and a 2009 Ducati 1198 for fun.  Also have an old Triumph Sprint ST that I keep at my mom's winter snowbird home.  My son shares my obsession, and he has a 1976 Honda CB 360 that we put together from three donor machines-- it got a cafe treatment.  He also has a very mint 2002 Suzuki Hayabusa and a Triumph Daytona 955. The garage is full!  Looking forward to learning from members of this site!

Welcome from Stanwood Washington.

It works out much better when the wife has her own two bay garage. Then when she fills it up with so much stuff that she can barely get her car in she only has herself to yell at.

First welcome to the fun! You do have some beautiful machines. As an aside, I agree with the wife comments, mine is always suggesting to fill my space (the garage) with her stuff all the time.
