Please welcome an old friend as your new mod.

You know Old School is a special place, just look around at the amazing people who gather here.

Lots of folks with passion, skills, and cred. Just terrific, isn't it?

Well, there's not a whole lot of people with more cred around here than the guy
who just stepped up to the plate and volunteered to moderated here.

Sure, he's a better dresser than most of us, by far,



but you'll forgive him as he's a damn good wrench ....
... been doing it for a long time, too.




Of course, we all know him from his posting here at ADV which can be homey,




or direct,




but they'll always be on topic.




Let's hear it for an old friend and the new Old School mod: kbasa.




Welcome Dave!

I'm not sure if those pictures were supposed to impress or repulse. Either way ... Congrats on the promotion (?)!!!

It's an honor and privilege to have you back, Dave!

Now post up some more pics of your Airheads, please.

New is scary.

Welcome Dave! Haven't seen much of you lately, good to have you back! Those are some big boots to fill, though Tyll won't admit it.

Dave is dreamy

After years of being a JM mod, you guys are going to be a heck of a lot more fun.

Basic rules I use to mod: Low signal? High noise? Bad attitude that requires lots of mod involvement?

We're going to talk.

I've been riding them for more than 30 years and will always have one in the garage. This bike will probably be my companion for the rest of my life. Too much history, too many good vibes on this machine to let it go. 1984 R100CS Last Edition. I restored it a couple years ago after I got hit on it.



I've had this R60/2 for a few years now. I just love riding it. I put a second sprung seat on it and Tina and I just ride it around the county. I've never been farther than 50 miles from home on it, but that's what it's for, IMHO.

And yeah, I keep it in the house.



True confessions: I have a thing for old Hondas. I've got a Honda CB400F that was given to me. As soon as I can get it home from Nebraska, I'll have another bike that I'll Never Sell.

And Tina and I have owned this CB750F for almost 25 years now. It's currently all taken apart and in boxes. One of these days (when I have the money) it'll get a restoration. 1982 CB750F. Factory sport control kit, too. Still got the wife, too.



Thanks for having me, guys!

Keep up the good work

Congrats

The best part about the new mod (versus Putts) is that he's on the West Coast. We can get away with all sorts of shit in the morning before he gets up for his first Latte.

Dude, Dave's been a mod around here a lot longer than I,
and has shoes a n00b mod like me can only dream of filling.

Last I heard, you resigned the MOA due to Tina's health. How's she doing?

Wow! Impaled by crayons! Ouch!

It's not the impaling you have to worry about, it's the wax in the arteries.

WELCOME,WELCOME!!

kbasa's coming, look busy..

Welcome Dave

She's in remission since January!

Thanks for stepping up. I love your interior decorating skills.

Thanks for giving Dragoon a hand so he can spend more time cleaning up the Australian section of ADV.






(For those that didn't know, the same day Kbasa jumped on the old's cool train, the Goon was handed the big stick to wield in the Aus section...)

Dayum! I'm gonna have to go spend some time in the bleachers of Oz.
