About Me
From a young age, I was always interested in engineering, though I didn't realize it at the time. I
was constantly building forts, tree houses, and just about anything else I could imagine. I
developed an early fascination with vehicles and engines, and I was always asking my parents
for a motorcycle for Christmas (much to their dismay).
When I was around 13, I was finally given a 125cc pit bike, a project bike, of course. I had to do
some simple repairs like cleaning out the carburetor, replacing the tires, new plastics, gastank,
and installing a new clutch cable. I quickly learned how to ride with a clutch and thought it was
the most fun thing ever.
By the time I was 15, I had turned that pit bike into a chopper by removing the rear shock and
hardtailing it with the cheap flux-core welder I got for Christmas. I also added a bigger front tire,
a custom bike seat, a straight-piped exhaust, and even a suicide shifter. That was just one of
many projects I've tackled over the years.
I've always enjoyed working on things, and I still do. Solving problems and learning new skills
has become my real hobby, and it shows most in my project cars. My newest project and
learning curve was making this website from scratch, with a little help from AI. I'm always
looking forward to the next challenge and onto the next project.
