This man's fabrication work is way over my pay grade, but I can relate to his trial and error learning process.
Some of you may have seen his videos.

Paul Brodie's Shop
- Thread starter Buffalo Bill
- Start date
One of the few motorcycle youtubers worth watching.
After watching some of his vids, some of what he said about his past rang a bell.
Before he got a name in bike frames, he drove a cab in Vancouver. I drove a cab in Vancouver.
He lived in the 5500 block of Fraser. I lived in the 5700 block of Argyle (couple of blocks away)
He raced bicycles. I raced bicycles. He raced out of a shop on Victoria St, I raced out of Dave's shop on 3 road
He raced at Westwood. I raced at Westwood.
Never met the guy... but I think I dispatched to him at Yellow Taxi in the '80s. Turns out we had some mutual friends.

Off topic from OP, but do you happen to have any racing photos from Westwood?
I used to go watch races there in the 80's. Some racers I remember seeing- Robbie Much, Daryl Fletcher, Rueben Mcmurter, Goodfellow, Crevier, Mercier, etc
I saw a street legal TZ750 with Alberta plates, thought that was bonkers.
Thanks Ed, had no idea who he actually was. Brother in law brought a Brodie Mtn some 30 years ago and one of our Mtb trails is called Brodie. Used to hang out a lot at Westwood in the '70s but moved way in '79. I don't remember him from there. A guy I street rode with where a live now raced Pro there in the mid eighties and have some photos. Carter, I'll go through my archives in the next few days and maybe post up a couple.
So I have been lucky enough to not only meet Paul Brodie, but I have also ridden with him....a very good friend of mine is close with him and one day we rode here in the island together to do the "Renfrew loop" and had lunch together in Renfrew at the pub.
Great guy! He has invited me to the mainland to see his shop and one of these days I will get over there to see it.
This is a bike the Paul built for my buddy....Mike Hailwood rep if you will....early 70's 750 that my buddy vintage raced in BC and in Portland some years ago...

Hey Sandy, that would be cool to see a few shots! I was always impressed with the Canadian fan base, always a big crowd at Westwood.
Trevor, did you do the Lake Cowichan loop on that ride or Renfrew & back? Last time I was in Renfrew the road to the lake wasn't paved.
Cool bike as well.
