Greetings everyone,

I became a member of this site a couple of months ago and mainly use it to look for interesting motorcycle and car events here in the south. So I was actually surprised to receive an email from Lee last week inviting me to introduce myself here in his corner and tell all of you about myself, my blog and some of the things that I do.

 Let’s start with my name and location; I am Floyd Finch & I am based out of Hartsville, S.C. I’ve been a dedicated gear head since I was six years old, and my dad sat me on the engine of his Chevy truck and handed me the wrenches while he talked me through a carburetor replacement. Since then I’ve been through all manner of project cars and motorcycles. Over the last couple of decades my interest has been almost solidly vintage Japanese motorcycles with the odd Brit bike or Harley passing through from time to time.

One of the things that I do is write a little blog called Motopsyco’s Asylum at http://www.motopsyco.com/ .  My page is mainly aimed at the do it yourself motorcycle & atv owner, but has event reports, product reviews, & unusual feature bikes sprinkled throughout as well.

Although I do full restorations for myself and a select few friends I have recently purchased a vapor blasting machine and am offering vapor blasting services for motorcycle parts, car parts or industrial cleaning & deburring. No other process in the world can make old corroded aluminum look as good as vapor blasting. In addition to the vapor blasting service I offer ultrasonic cleaning & refurbishment of motorcycle carburetors as well.

Now if Lee doesn’t mind I’d like to put in a plug for the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club of North America. We are celebrating our 40^th anniversary this year. As of this writing our website http://vjmc.org/  is down until February 28 2017 for a major overhaul. If you own or love the old Japanese bikes from any manufacturer you really should consider joining. Since I am a field representative in S.C. if you have any questions send me a message and I’ll try to answer any questions you may have about the group.

That’s enough about me, post a comment & show us your old motorcycles. I’ll be in the shop working on my next restoration.
