Pm sent....interested

Vin-moto group meets every monday at Bodega.....always bikes there.

Project looks interesting....cant wait to see where it goes.

Yep....ride all year here. Pic from work the other day

Dont even think about building something, until you first learn to fly(legally).....its not like riding a motorcycle or driving a car. There is alot more involved than you think. I have a Bachelors in Aviation, with a specialization in Aircraft Systems from OSU(Commerical Pilot training).....and I can tell you from all my experience, that its more difficult than it looks...esp if you get into rotary wing, not fixed wing. As far as the regs.....they dont mess around these days and you would probadly be arrested on site and jailed....then face several fines(not a $100 ticket....more like $1000's). More than likely you would have an FAA ramp agent show up....ask a few questions...then police. As someone mentioned....you need to start reading a FAR/AIM. There is alot of regulations in regards to flying around other objects(trees, cell towers,etc), structures, people or area of congestion and non congestion....and the rules are different for all. If the FAA agent believes you are flying in an unsafe manner around any of the above listed items....you will be arrested and/or fined. I actually witnessed someone try to do exactly what your wanting to do several years ago while working at a small airport. A guy had spent several years building this experimental aircraft in one of the local t-hangers.....had no flight training....finished the aircraft.....got it up in the air(in the pattern) maybe 3 times......then crashed while trying to land it. The aircraft caught fire once it stopped on the runway. I was the first to arrive to get the guy out of the aircraft....he was okay.....but I have never seen someone so scared in all my life. All he kept saying(as he was crying) to me was he would never fly again. The FAA did a big investigation.....and for the next several years while I worked there, I never saw him again. I guess my point is....I would be alot less worried about getting caught breaking a reg....than dieing. There is alot more to flying than you may think. Learn how to fly(legally)....then experiment with building something. Thats the only way your gonna be able to build something and live to tell about it.

What up Joe....make it home the other night okay? Bike sounded goooooooooodd as you took off.

Just thought i'd drop a quick intro....just joined....and looks like an interesting site. Current daily ride is 2001 Ducati Monster 750, but have several bikes from MX bikes to my vinatge road race bikes. Been road racing with AHRMA for several years now........and do alot of custom work with the vintage race bikes(alloy tank fab, welding, wheel building....you name it). Also.....I meet with the local CO-OH Vinmoto group on Moday evenings at Bodega. If anyone ever wants to meet....we meet every monday there...alot of bikes from new to old....and a ton of bench racing!! Anyways....here are a few of the rides. Daily rider...a pic from this morning....rode into work...bbrrr Couple pics racing at Barber Motorsports Park(old friend Todd Henning and I) Race bike on the left......cafe street/pit bike on the right Looking forward to spending some time on the forum and maybe see some of you around.
