Good Afternoon,
As a long time motorcycle rider and Dad's "assistant for his dirty work," I am finally joining the AMCA after about 20 years. I think I had a membership years ago but my memory is fading but not my love for old iron, My Dad and I have restored five antique Harleys and I've tackled an old BMW R60/2 basketcase that Toney Watson had prior to his passing. Of course there were lots of other bikes that have come and gone over the years - all meant for riding and none for show. Can't count the number of friend's bikes I have helped them fix - seems that once someone finds out you can tinker, they come knocking!
Over the years I've been to a lot of meets, mostly Eustis, Denton and Wauseon - occasionally Oley and Jefferson. I'm in heaven. My wife generally doesn't appreciate my hobby or the dollars that need to be invested but I'm working on her too. I'll be retiring soon and hope to pick up where Dad has left off and is unable to do anymore due to his age and medical condition. I'll be looking forward to learning from the group and hope to meet you at future meets.
Mike
