Hello and Welcome to those of you who read this! I am the owner/Admin of the FreakBike Nation. 
Growing up as a kid in the 1970s, I had a big fascination with bicycles, cars and motorcycles, but bicycles were always an easy means to customize on my weak wallet findings. I've gone through the old "hammer a set of bike forks onto another set of bike forks" phase and worked my way up the ranks and into the FreakBike movement.
With the help of my wife, Dora (aka Giggles or 
) and "Budzilla" Bud Hertz, we started the FreakBike Militia - Great Lakes (now known as the FreakBike Nation - Great Lakes Freaks aka FBN-GLF). The FBN-GLF still rides all over the state of Michigan and sometimes crosses the borders into other states and provinces, so check out the FBN-GLF section in the ClubHouse!
In 2007 Dora and I started the FreakBike Nation website and Message Board (Forum) and have enjoyed many rides with the many friends we made along the way.
I am currently finishing up my welding program at Baker College in Flint, Michigan. Two more semesters (fall and winter)!
Some of you may notice my signature and wonder what the hell it means ....
Manufactured in 1960, = The year I was born.
Rebuilt in 2008, = The year I had a heart attack that resulted in a quadruple bi pass
Modified in 2010, = The year I had to have stints put in.
Still Rolling! = Well, I'm still going!
I think that as you read some of my other posts, you'll get to know me better, than I can ever tell you about myself. I hope you all enjoy the FreakBike Nation as much as I have!
