New user with a new restoration project!

[mountain_grim]

Just dropping a line to introduce myself as I will probably be getting to know a few of you much better this winter. My name is Graham and I live in Laramie, Wyoming. I am thirty one years old with a wife and two kids at home. I have a moto guzzi griso and a recently purchased 1967 Honda CA77. My wife was going to learn to ride my old bike, a 1996 triumph Thunderbird, but it was just too much for her to handle. We sold the t-bird and bought the dream. The bike runs well, but looks rough. I just finished tearing down everything except tripple tree, motor and wheels. I will get it to the paint shop in the next few weeks and plan on changing oil seals and fixing any other problems I come across. This forum has already been invaluble, and I plan on using it much more as the weeks go by. I have already purchased Bill Silver's engine repair guide and I need to get my hands on a manual.

My restoration experience is limited. In High school I did rebuild a 1972 cb500 that i pulled out of the grass at my friends uncle's house. That was quite a learning experience, hopefully I will remember some of the lessons I learned. I also worked in a custom paint shop in Georgia for a while in my early twenties, so I do have some skills tearing down vehicles and putting them back together.

That's about it.
Thanks for the support you have already provided.
