[Mondo Revolver]

Hey all,

       I know it's cold out, but i thought this might be a good time to do some planning for 2011. So lets start with a sound off, anyone interested in being involved with this group just give a quick reply. Just a baseline to see where we are.

          thanks
         Patrick

Is my '90 K100 LT too vintage? Or is it just vintage enough?  It will do the ton.

[Rock Harris]

I doubt you can get TOO vintage. I have. '72 BSA lightning and a '76 HD FLH.....

im up for something. should have a new ride ready very soon.

[james]

Hey... I'm in. My '71 CB350 is not currently running, but I'm working
on changing that. I'd love to meet others who have been doing this
stuff for a while.

Also, I get the impression that the guys over at Flying Tiger are
interested in community building. Are they already on here? Should we
connect with them in some way? Are there old, personal rivalries at
hand regarding those guys and others on here that I don't know about?
There typically were in the STL scooter scene when I was riding with
those groups regularly.

[Mondo Revolver]

haha, "community buliding" is code for druming up business.

 if your looking for a good shop check out Motorrad, tell em i sent you, il get a discount.

[Flynn]

I'm down to 50cc chinese scooter but looking to upgrade soon. I'm in.

[George Saunders]

I feel like I should chime in here.  I don't personally know the flying tiger people but I think we should include anyone that has an interest unless others on the list have had bad experiences or if they're just big DB's or if they're male pretending to be female or so on.
Just my two cents
George

Unless you *know* they're male pretending to be female, and that's you thing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

In all seriousness, though, I don't doubt the sincerity of Flying Tiger's desire to assist with community building. The fact of the matter is, nobody's in the bike business to get rich, they're in it because they love it (or at least they did when they started...) And it's in every rider's best interest to help each other out and build the community in any way available. 

Bring 'em on, I say.

-Alex

[Rock Harris]

I agree completely. We only know it's sincere by including them (and others) into our reindeer games.

I don't know them, Have nothing against them. Everyone is welcome here. I'm just looking at them as one of the multiple Johnny come latly "vintage"  shops springing up

[James King]

Well, since I'm a James come lately, myself, I'd have to say I'm glad there are people to meet who have been doing this for a long time; who have long held an interest in something I'm just discovering... also for when I need some advice, or just want to show off my hard work. I'm also glad, though, there are enthusiastic newcomers (like yours truly) to keep whatever semblance of a "scene" that might exist in this town alive, growing and changing. I mean, isn't it great that there are vintage shops springing up, a tv show about cafe builders around the nation, and more people getting into vintage bikes? Better than being nothing but a midwestern Harley town, or a bunch of rich idiots popping wheelies and peeling out on the donorcycles they don't know how to ride, if you ask me.

Besides... I don't think too many people are opening up shops in STL fresh off their first barn find. I, personally, am waiting until after my second one before I announce that I've quit my job to become an internationally known custom vintage bike builder to the stars.
