    Hey all
    I'm Dave Jennings everyone calls me Jennoe. So I'm 54 ,live in Newport Sth Wales.
    Just joined the site as in September this year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I intend
    to build a Cafe Racer to enable me,health prevailing,to take part in the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride
    in 2017.......these fellas raise money and more importantly awareness of this all to common complaint.
    I hope you'll follow my progress as I build my bike in between treatments and you'll allow me to tap into the vast knowledge that I know is out there.........
    Yours Jennoe........

    Hello Jennoe, welcome in, add my best wishes for good fortune with both challenges.

    What model bike is your proposed café racer based on? as mentioned, we do require photos

    Welcome in, Jennoe, and good luck with the rebuild and, more importantly, your health issues.

    As SWMBO and I are finding out, good health is arguably the most important thing in life.:cool:

    Fellas.........this is amazing........ can't thank you for your support enough.As I said I've met some incredible people and you're all on that list. Both bike and treatment will take a while but I think I'm strong enough to complete them both with a little help from you..
    . My wife is taking me to the NEC this weekend to Motorcycle Live so after that I'll get the camera out and show you what I have to work with. Again..........many thanks....... you're all Legends...........

    Really fellas..!!!!!!!!..........for those of you who know about Prostate Cancer treatment the first thing to go is proper use of your "Bits".............so no pictures there as a dead bird never fell out of a nest .
    And I got into so much trouble last time.............. :)
    Ok.........I'm going to move this to the Cafe Racer part of the forum and start a new thread with a few pictures of the said bits...........titled......from the ashes rose a Phoenix.........see you all there.......

    A warm welcome from me, and all the best for your health and the build, as mentioned on here we are like a little family (well not too little) lol. I am sure any questions and queries and problems can soon be addressed as my old Dad used to say "many brains are better than one" Good health to you and best wishes :):)

    A very warm kind welcome to you buddy. You will pull through with your health and you will complete your project in style. I have got a pigeon brain when it comes to mechanics BUT I can assure there are some serious knowledgeable people in this forum who will surely assist you in any way they can . However if you felt I can be of any assistance then by all means give us a shout (But you have been warned of my abilities ;-)).
