Of all the projects youve had over the years which one stands out as the one that made you learn about the bike hobby or a particular skill. For me for me it has to be a green hornet condition 5/6 which was really 7/8 after i polished the paint with really good paint polish.....i didnt know how good the paint would shine until i did it....helping recognize savable paint from paint that has already been polished and no ammount of polishing can make paint re-appear after its already been polished so much that it wearing thin......

For starters I have decided from the start that every bike I build was going to be different then the last one I built. That's where the creativity of a build has to come from with me and in me. It gets boring refurbing or restoring the same way all the time. With each build I retain more knowledge of this past time of a vintage bike creator. All that I've done hold a certain memory a time of moment when it started as just a junk old bike to I'm riding it and enjoying it.
