About me: Mechanic by trade, whether it be cars (Mitsubishi and Subaru) motorcycles (Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Harley-Davidson) aircraft (A-10s back in the day) and baby carriages. I spin vintage vinyl on vintage turntables and my record collection owns me. I also have a cheap racecar fetish, many of my friends share that affliction. The vast majority of my friends own motorcycle shops. The rest own motorcycles. Some can even spell motorcycle.
If you do the bike internet thing I'm aka 79cb750f or elr658.
For cars, 4g63t.
Who I'd like to meet: Soichiro Honda, Les Paul, Leo Fender, James Jamerson, Graham Parker. Although I'd probably be an incoherent drooling moron (like I'm NOT ALREADY?) I'd like to meet Jill Wagner who is the Mercury spokesperson.
Hey Mark, Thanks for the add and friendship, we will let ya know when we start playing out so maybe you can come out and show some support for the New Haven and the Valley's local live music scene and check out our band Wenzday Falls, a brand new Valley based all original rock band! We are gearing up to start playing the local clubs this fall. So keep in touch and hope to see you at some of our shows for a couple of drinks and a GREAT time! Check our myspace page as we finish the new recordings and add our new songs to our page very soon. Thanks a million and hope to see you soon! Your friends from Wenzday Falls!
