Welcome to db.ibenson.com which is home to the documentation of work I have done on bikes, cars, motorcycles, and a whole lot more. Much of this site was made in 2010–2011, and I revived it in 2024 because I had so much information stored here; much of it was at risk of being forgotten. When this site was first created, I owned a shop in Newport, RI, where I lived and worked. Fifteen years later, articles from long ago should 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.

Outside of my professional career, I have jumped between bicycles, motorcycles, and cars to keep me happy in a different way. When I started having kids, I walked away from motorcycles and dove deep into cars, adding one for each child. 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 processes and to follow my new projects as best I can. This site also is home to my blogging of my travels as a young fellow.
