Hi. I'm Mark and I'm an alco...  Oh wait... wrong group.

My wife and I recently moved from the Chicago suburbs to Gilford New Hampshire. My wife is from Concord NH which is why we picked this area to retire.   I'm a longtime Airhead owner with the occasional Norton sneaking in.  I enjoy wrenching on things and I'm in the process of setting up my new shop.  My current airhead lineup is a R90/6, R50/2.  I recently added an sad "barn find' R60/2 which is my current project.   I'm not much of a "club" person but I do miss the camaraderie & debauchery of Trig's Friday Beer Crew.  I haven't seen a lot of vintage stuff on the roads here, mostly newish Harley bagger stuff.  I'm hoping to find some pockets of vintage enthusiasts here (Heck, Barrington Motor Works is only 40 minutes away).  I'm pretty good with a wrench and enjoy a mechanical challenge so If you're nearby and need some help feel free to reach out. 

Mark

Welcome from Georgia !!

(We also speak Norton.)

Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.

Hey Mark,

Greetings from a bit to your south!  Coming from Chicago we don't have to warn you about New England weather at least!  You named some great local resources to you Duncan's here in MA  is a great shop / supplier / source of knowledge as well.

 

Looking forward to the spring and having a few destinations to created journey's from!

Cheers,

Ethan

Greetings Mark!

I'm in Philadelphia, but will be venturing up to New London NH a few times a year on the airhead. I'll be sure to reach out and we can kick tires!

Hey Mark,

Welcome from next door!  I'm in Augusta and frequent Ande's shop to keep my 77RS going.  I'm hoping he's planning another open house this spring!  Looking forward to shaking your hand.
