My buddy passed this site onto me today. I may be able to add a little of my knowledge here since I have been turning wrenches for more than 5 decades. I might be 71 but I still have much to learn. Background is pipe fitting and welding for a pay check, hobbies vintage motorcycles.

Welcome from Nebraska. Turned wrenches at auto repair real close to 50 years.
Welcome to Tool Talk !
I spent a lot of time fixing bikes and cars, and a bunch of years at a large HD dealership as Service Manager.
Thank you all for the warm welcome. Today was the first day over 65* in months, looking forward to trying out my new ride. A 1954 NSU Max I bought in October and recently got running after it's sleep since 1982.
Wayne, welcome to the tool forums here from beautiful Ohio (actually warm today :smiley:). My experience with wrenches is to figure out which end to hit things with (just kidding :tongue:).
Welcome! Feel free to share some pictures of your motorcycles.
Welcome from the Missouri Ozarks!

Welcome from the Missouri Ozarks!
Believe or not, each summer when I was young my parents would put me on a bus alone and tell the driver he's going to St. Louis. I guess either my Dad wanted me to learn about his birthplace or they just wanted me gone for a few months. I spent time in the Ozarks and Perryville on a farm. I sure learned a lot!

I do have photos of most of the bikes I have owned or restored over the years. The problem is the pics are on a memory stick and the file size way too big for here, and I'm too old to learn resizing. So here is a today picture of the 54 NSU, I only did mechanical work on it and it's staying a survivor with it's dents and rust. The first test drive went fine today, and typical like my 47 Indian. If you want to stop, start stopping a day earlier. 250cc single over head cam.
Nice old ride. Hello and welcome from British Columbia Canada.
You can resize easily with a program called Irfanview, and it is free ! https://www.irfanview.com/ (https://www.irfanview.com/)

Welcome from Utah.
What type of welding did you do?
Welcome Wayne, I'm also a mechanic - tractors and small engines - and my hobby is vintage (mostly British) motorcycles. We have a large following here in Central New York State www.bmccny.org (http://www.bmccny.org).
