Hello all, my name is Jeff and I'm located just outside of Chicago, Illinois, USA.

I've been riding motorcycles for nearly twenty years and currently have what my wife calls a "diagnosable problem" with motorcycles.

In the garage, I currenly have a:
1 = 2002 CBR1100XX Super Blackbird
1 = 2004 ST1300 Pan European
1 = 2002 CB900F (919) Hornet
1 = 1991 CB750SC Nighthawk
1 = 1976 CR750 cafe racer replica
3 = 1973 QA-50 minibikes
1 = 1998 CR125 motocross bike
1 = Yamaha BW200 Big Wheel

Wow, typing that list makes me think that I might just have a problem!

Anyhow, my interest in diesel powered motorcycles comes from a two decade long career working for two very large Japanese engine manufacturers; Yanmar and Robin-Subaru.

I'm in the process of collecting parts to build a diesel powered CBR1100XX. Hopefully grafting a very rare three cylinder Yanmar diesel engine with the Blackbird tranny.

I'll keep you all posted as I progress.
