Seems like a lot of the old guitar/bike lovers have stopped posting here (for now). I'm sure some of them will drop in again some time. I'm not into either, but I always thought this was a fun thread that made good use of the forum space.

I just wish I had a groovy guitar to add to the pix. Mine is just an old japanese copy of a Hummingbird, paid
$75 for it in 1975. 40 years of abuse and it really needs a bunch of work, but the tone is sweet as….
You stateside folks need to appreciate your access to good seasoned guitars…..I get a musical woody every trip….

Although I don't own or ride a motorcycle. I have a handful of cheap starter guitars that I have grown fond of. I am a novice player at best, I can't solo worth anything and can primarily rhythm play songs I like. I have a late 80's-early 90's Squier II that I believe was made in India but not positive. I have an Epiphone SG Special II, and two First Act guitars, one a Tele-copy, and the other a Chinese made from the specs of one of their USA shop models from the late 2000's (Sheena SFA edition). I like all of these as they play and sound different and they were cheap enough that I was willing to try and adjust them myself (an ongoing learning process). It reminds me of different techs in KF where the energy can be played differently to get different effect. For example, in Hungfut there is a backfist technique that rolls from an overhand/forearm block/attack. It can be played hard and somewhat static to push as much energy and weight forward to try effect more blunt damage, (I relate this to my Epiphone SG copy which has heavier strings on it and can bear the brunt of hard playing). The backfist can also be played in a snap/spring like fashion to allow a quicker follow up or retreat, with less initial blunt damage. ( I relate this to my Squier strat with light strings, I can apply less pressure and move along the frets faster). What are some others' experiences with cheap or expensive guitars or even motorcycles and their similarity to their experiences in Chinese martial arts?
I played bass for a while but not anymore.
Now I break concrete, coconuts, ride my bike and enjoy Sunny Florida......
Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

My Goal In Life Is To Be A Better Person Today Than I Was Yesterday. Martial Art Is One Of The Tools I Use To Achieve This.
The Equation For Good Kung Fu Is Based On Four Simple Principles Breathing, Relaxation, Continues Movement, Structure. Working Them Under Pressure Is What Good Kung Fu Training Is About.
You Have To Breath To Relax, You Have To Relax To Move, You Have To Move To Keep Structure
