WideOpen

Welcome to db.ibenson.com which is the home to the documentation of work I have done on bikes, cars and motorcycles and a whole lot more. Much of this site was made in 2010-11 and I revived it in 2024 because I had so much information stored here, much was at risk of being forgotten. When this site was first made, I owned a shop in Newport RI where I lived and worked. Much has happened in 15 years and I ask that old articles on this site be viewed as written by a crazy person with a lot of energy and drive to innovate and create. Fast forward to today, I am still much the same person but I am split among many competing priorities with my family winning no matter what.

For most of my life I have jumped between bicycles, motorcycles and cars. When I started having kids, I walked away from motorcycles and dove deep into cars, adding a car for each of my kids to the collection. When the kids were older, I tracked down a lot of my old bikes and started collecting again, building a few new projects. Bringing this site back to life has allowed me to track the original build process of a few of my bikes and to track my new projects as best I can document.
