Retired Bike Builder Joins Up

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Pitcrew, Jan 29, 2017.

  1. Hello all.....I've been reading up on some of the threads for bike builds here and thought it would be a good idea to join in the fun. My name is Kev, PITCREW comes from the times I have helped mates out at bike racing (mainly pit lane mechanicals etc). I'm at the young age of 63 and have retired from my day job as a support engineer in the Pharmaceutical industry. Having been into biking from the age of 16, I have now managed to get myself a small workshop where I now spend many a day stripping and modifying different bikes into something I like the look of. I've now stopped buying bikes as running out of space....you know how it goes!! So I have plenty of bikes to work on. I've bought myself an ST2 frame and engine, ST4 rear end with linkage/suspension etc, 999 tank, 849 wheels, so I'm looking to build a special with it, having seen quite a few I like with the trellis look.
    Just finished building a 2008 900ss ie cafe racer which I'll post a few pics of. Chat soon :coldsweat:
