New guy, Well, kinda...

#1

Post by Bear151556a »

Guess I should say hello, I have only been here since august of 2015. Guess you could call me a lurker, or maybe a stalker. I currently own 3 wings, a 77 standard, a 83 interstate, and a 85 Aspencade. at some point one of them is getting chopped, just have yet to figure out which.
