Hello from Indiana USA

My name is Marty Redd. I am a retired Electronics Engineering Educator and Technician living in a small town just north of Indianapolis, Indiana. My passions are leatherworking, motorcycles, and music of (most) kinds.

I have been involved with leathercraft since the late 1980's when I was introduced to the craft by a brother-in-law and while I was employed as a church organ technician living and working in the southern states of the US. At that time I made a lot of guitar straps which I sold through the music store I worked for, and made other small goods which I sold or gave to friends and family. The rest, as they say, is ancient history. Now that I am retired I can devote my time to this amazing craft we all love.

I hope I will be able to contribute something usefull to this group. It's nice to meet you all!

Hello Marty,

I see we have 3 passions in common! Including the "most" in the music part..

Forget about the leather, tell me about your motorcycle(s) :D

Replying to

Hello Fadi! It's a pleasure to meet you. My first motorcycle was a brand new 1978 Honda CX500 Custom. I put 98,000 miles on that machine in the 4 years I owned it. Life and work intervened and I did not have another bike until I turned 50. This is the bike I own now. Another Honda, this time a 2001 VT1100C with 34,500 miles on the bike. I am getting it ready for sale now as dual hip replacements in the last 2 years have made it too difficult to get on. So now I am researching trikes.

Got to run, but good to get your post.

Be well and stay safe!

Marty
