Another new guy from Colorado
Name is Mike, I live in rural Boulder County. I am a painter, fabricator, luthier by trade. Work from home. Bikes are a hobby for me, but stay busy painting them for customers all around. Recently picked up a 75 GL1000 basket case with newly rebuilt carbs and extra 77 motor. I am finishing up wiring on my 750 right now and hope to be on the road in a few weeks. Thanks in advance for all the great tech stuff here.

HA. No problem. A lot of people have no idea. You can check out the guitars and some of the art at http://www.learnguitars.com I only built maybe 15-20 a year, but paint an awful lot of them.ColoRider wrote:Welcome and thanks for making me look up "luthier".
