Default introducing myself to the site

hello to everyone. my name is christopher im 30 yrs old. male. live in the central il. area. ive been riding bikes for 25 yrs. my father got me started racing flattrack at the age of five. on a xr 75 i could not come close to touching the ground. he would shove me off for practice, and have to hold me up at the line for heats and mains. i have three children 2 boys and one girl 6 who is the oldest. i look forward to our first year of racing this summer. she will be racing a shadow kart. we built it from the frame up in the garage. toped it off with some purple flames. ive had many bikes throughout the years. my main 2 i will be riding in 2010 are my cbr f4 and my 72 iorn head with hard tail. i am currently trying to get them ready for spring. i just got the f4 in the fall and it is rough as it gets. it was a stunt bike. im currently fixing it up. wanting to go with f4i body work. ad fresh paint. make track worthy. and hit some track days. most dependable bike ive ever owned was a ktm. their bikes are sick. my favorite bike, yeah right! theres just to many to name one. i love them all. i also really dig vintage bikes and vintage race bikes. thanks for your time christopher...x60

here a pic of them bolth. you can still see where they spray painted the cbr tank black in the back ground. it was smashed in. i drilled like 70 holes to pull it back to shape. couple more hours on it and it might be ready to prime. i havent had these bikes very long or they wouldnt look the way they do.

Welcome to the Forum, Chris! Nice intro. Good luck on the build.
I hope your girl likes racing. My sister's best friend raced for years, and I always enjoyed the quarter midget racing a lot.
Enjoy the ride!
