    Hi Folks,

    Thanks for having me on your forum.

    I am a retired engineer from Montrose with fake knees who has just got back into biking. Had mostly sport bikes all my days and never thought Id try a cruiser! I have a new 1200cc Speedmaster which took me a short while to get used to...feet forward...sitting upright...a pleasure to ride though. I have raised the bars 1 1/2" , added a pair of Trident cans and remapped, other than tha

    I am fortunate to own a full machine/workshop where I concentrate on scratch built race cars and bikes. I am presently building my version on a Triton with Weslake engine and TTI box. I am designing/fabricating/machining all my own parts afap.

    Keep between the green bits................

    Thanks for all the nice welcomes folks!

    As there appears to be an interest in my latest build, perhaps someone can advise which forum I should start a thread? :blush:

    If you tap the “forums” button and scroll down there’s a specific one for builds and projects, that’s the one you want.
