I'm just a 46 yr old Karate guy that has been doing martial arts for 34 yrs. teaching and running a dojo for 30.. it's my main passion to help others in this world. Last couple years I needed something that would be new to learn and not just be the master teacher and mentor. Granted i love the harley, scuba diving and other activities but i wanted to learn. So I chose something totally different to keep the brain off just the biz. So I choose the other thing I'm passionate about. Goin fast and ripping a R. So I bought one two years ago after loving and selling my first one I bought off the showroom floor in 86. I didn't want a poke and a payment.. to easy and boring. Anyone can do that. Doing research on the R I came to sites that had members with the same passion as I. Well what I thought was my strong passion. I met and watched a lot of you that had a much greater passion and certainly unmeasurable knowledge than I did for the R. I knew that on my desk or couch or patio I could secretly learn from all the wise ones. To be a student again. Most of what you guys talk about is still French to me but that is what inspires me! Soo in the future when I continue to ask newbie questions please be patient. I can only learn by asking questions. They may seem silly or wasteful but it is the only way someone learns. Like I tell all my students there is no dumb questions. Besides, I can work on my own machine and that is therapy in itself. My goal now is to have enough confidence to break down an engine, learn the tranny and rebuild one.
You guys here are dedicated and passionate. Just what I want to be around. Sorry for the novel. Finally had to get it out. Lol
