I'm a retired Heavy equipment mechanic/welder, hence the name. I'm also an old school biker, turned triker so I can continue to enjoy the open road, wind in my hair & bugs in my teeth. I'm lso a historical reenacter of the 1820 to 1840 period of Western American history.

Interests
Motorcycles; predominantly Harleys, which I fix as well as ride. Out doors: camping; both modern & primitive, shooting black powder, fishing, photography, motorcycle touring, welding, blacksmithing. History; I find it fascinating to study what else was happening in the world during my time frame. Of course, sex - otherwise, why would I be here.
