Thomas Renda's Journal

Hey folks, my name is Tom Renda and I am a retired lawyer from Catonsville, Maryland. I backed into the vintage car scene after driving a blind friend's two cars (49 TC, 56 Morgan) for a few years, (Before that I was strictly a vintage motorcycle guy.). My buddy Steve lost his sight after restoring both cars (TC - frame off, Morgan mostly cosmetic). He keeps the cars now and takes them to a couple of shows a year with help from his "crew."

My own car is a 71 BGT that came from Pittsburgh PA (one of my favorite cities). I drove it from Pittsburgh to our ski house in Canaan Valley WV last summer. I keep it out there now to minimize the opportunity my wife has to set it on fire.

I do not do Faceflock or Twatter or any other general social media so this site (and Yamaha FZ1OA.com) are my only means for electronic communication with the masses. I belong to NCNO (National Capitol Norton Owners) but those guys are less computer savvy than I am, which is pretty sad.

Feel free to comment or insult me - having spent a career before ornery trial judges and mean spirited opposing lawyers, I am pretty immune to the typical banter that goes on in motorhead circles. (And anyway, I usually deserve it!)
