Introduction to Madness...

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Danny. I have a really bad obsession with bikes. It doesn't really even matter what kind of bike. If its got two wheels I'm interested. So I'm starting this blog to document my illness. I want this to be my travelogue my project diary and an outlet to express my inspiration along the way. I also hope to keep it entertaining to those who tune in. Enjoy. ....or don't if your not into it.

Time to introduce the machinery

First off,  The workhorse of the group. The bike that gets the most use and abuse my 2008 Yamaha WR250X. This bike is the epitome of freedom to me! When I'm riding this thing the world is my playground. Weather its just commuting to work or carving through the twisties, or exploring the logging roads of the woods, to riding single track in the foothills, or combining all of them into 2000+ miles of the biggest road trip of my life, this thing has taken me there and back and will continue to.
 Then there is my 2002 Honda Cr250R Dirt Bike. Super fun Really quick But not ridden enough. I love this bike purely for those times when I need to catch some air or roost out of a deep corner!
 Next is my 1983 Yamaha Maxim XJ400. I bought this thing for $100 just for something to use as a practice project. I want to kinda go the bobber/rat-rod direction with it.
 Next on the list is my 1969 Yamaha AT1 125 Enduro. My step-dad bought this for me back when I was about 12 years old. I rode it for a while and then it sat for almost 20 years and I just recently got it running again.
 Then last but very far from least is my early birthday present, a 1967 B.S.A. 650 Thunderbolt. Its been in the back of my step-dad's barn for almost 20 years and we don't know the history beyond that but I have been working on piecing it back together. I'm hoping to get it running here in the next couple of months. I cannot wait to hear this thing run and feel what a true classic is like to ride!
Of course there will be many updates to the progress of each of these projects so stay tuned!
Thanks
