Greetings to all,
Jim McLain here in Orange County, CA
My "forum moniker- Bucardo" is the name of a dirt bike club I started in Big Bear; a Bucardo is an extinct mountain goat, I thought an appropriate name for middle-aged goat trail riders.
My day job is a CEO with a Fortune 1000 company, running one of their subsidiaries. Hold a Juris Doctor and three under-graduate degrees in business, law and engineering (all done in night school, funded largely by the GI Bill).
Been riding for 35 years, on dirt bikes, sport bikes and most recently cruisers. Did a fair amount of drag racing and engine building in the 70s and pit crewed on a AA Fuel Altered called the Yellow Submarine/French Connection.
Really like working on bikes, especially the tuning and electronics. Developed the
VOES solution for after market carbs (mostly to help my buddy Jimaray correct his S&S
carb'd bike, when my stocker outran him, not anymore). And, Yes, I will document that modification for the library.
Working on a "project bike R*" with Jimaray, stripped to the frame with lots of custom work. Should be done this summer... Also have 5 other bikes.
I'm a lead Road Captain and Trustee for STAR Chapter 230 (
www.star230.com )
I commend Steve for the vision and work on this excellent website
Jim
