Hi all!

The names chris, I moved to california from england 11 years or so ago as a mechanic with $300 and a suitcase hence the screenanme brit(ish)-in-cali(fornia)

Im 31 and now a finance manager at a nissan dealership

I inherited a rolex from my grandfather a few years ago and am now looking to restore it.

My main loves in life are riding dirtbikes and generally playing as hard as possible without going all charlie sheen

Pic of the rolie..



And my latest project, a 2009 Honda CRF450R fourstroke dirtbike converted to fit a two stroke CR500R motor
