Wing Newbie from central indiana

#1

Post by OneEye »

Hello all,

i will be picking up my new to me 82 Gl1100 interstate( lets get this girl nekkid) this Thursday. I have always wanted a naked wing and now is my chance. This will be a major project for me as it needs a lot of TLC. Been lurking in the shadows for a long time, now is the time for me to introduce myself. And join the sickness that is, owning a wing.

From south central indiana,
sell autoparts for a living and sometimes moonlight in EMS (old job) for extra moneys.
Always ready to help if i can.

just by reading alot of the posts on this site, i have gained so much knowledge. I plan to use that more and more in the upcoming winter, as i try to juggle this project and a new baby that will be here in sept.

Thank you to all who have posted in the past and all will post in the future, Thank you

OneEye

PS. i will start a build thread with pics once i get the bike on my property and start my garage transformation.
