Welcome to the place to find all the answers... to your motor questions, anyway.
I also tinker with computers when I have the time (or more usually lately, the need) to.. next up will probably be a drone for the garage, so I can post to the forums while I'm tinkering with the bikes. I have a lot of parts and junk built up over the years, I think I could put together something functional on almost any level from 486 and up, and the o/s's to bring them to functionality.
