    Not new to Yammi's, had a venture for about a decade in the 90's. Picked up a couple new "projects" yesterday. '78 1100 & '82 550 maxim. The 82 will be on the road first as a tooling around bike, just needs the font end put back together and carbs cleaned (I hope).

    1100 is going to be a little more work, frame is basically stripped motor is in pieces and in boxes. First step will probably be getting the motor back together, if I can get that to a running condition I am going to explore the chopper/bobber look for the bike. I love the examples I've found already.

    Talk to ya'll soon, can't wait to get back on 2 wheels after being away for a few years.

    I sure hope they are good to me, I have a bunch of big plans for it.

    I'm sure I'll be asking for help along the way.

    Welcome aboard Fester!
    You've come to the right place for sure. I'll be watching this one. Hopefully you'll have one to ride this spring and we can meet/ride with the rest of the members in the area. PD
