Registered a while ago but never got around to the obligatory Introduction post.... so here it is.
Name is James living in "good ol' Abilene" for the last 8 years. Retired from the Air Force (hence Abilene, and Dyess AFB) back in Aug. '20 and been enjoying life since. Worked as an aircraft electrician for a good while on the mighty C-5 Galaxy and finished off my career doing boring paperwork stuff and managing aircraft and people.
Staying pretty busy working on folks bikes, out of my garage. Do quite a lot of tire changes and fork seals and other routine maintenance for folks around here. It really bothers me how much shops charge for basic stuff. I get it... they have overhead, have to pay their employees, etc etc, but a lot of the guys I help are military and I don't charge much at all. Better to put money back in the pockets of these young guys so they can have safe bikes, than them not affording to take it to a shop and having an unsafe bike to ride.
Anywho... hello!
