Hello people,
I came from the Hamb as well. Been here for a short time checking things out. Great stuff, great people, just like the Hamb. Figured it was time to introduce myself, Mel from Jersey. I know a bunch of you already, hope to aquaint myself with the rest. Have a couple of traditional hot rods, projects, and a custom. Before I owned and built any cars, I rode a 42 BSA as my daily. Been bikeless for years now, liscence less too. But today, my newest project is under way. Gonna build a late 20's, early 30's Indian bobber, much like an old Wall of Death bike. Have my feelers out locally amongst my friends. Its all starting with a 28 eliptical sprung front end. Looking for some leads on Indian parts. If anyone can help locate some parts, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Mel

Wow, sounds like my kind of bike! Also sounds like an expensive project. I can't wait to see it together. Welcome and good luck.

My first dream is to ride the Wall of Death. The only acceptable alternative is to build a bike that looks like it belongs on the Wall of Death.

Panhead City in Georgia had an ex-Wall of Death bike on eBay afew months ago. It re-invigorated my dreams.

My wife would kick my ass if I dropped everything to be a carnie and ride the Wall of Death. No, not because of the danger (see that other stupid-ass post). She's been suppporting my lazy ass while I'm in school, and Wall of Death jobs probably don't offer tuition reimbursment.

No, this isn't me. I'm uglier. Welcome.
