|
|
Finally, a day without rain. Summer's coming ! Well, Spring maybe. Time to pull all the bikes out of the garage and see if they still run. And they do ! Well, those that are in one piece anyway.
Took some doing fitting them all back in. I need a bigger garage. Or maybe less bikes. Hmm, there's an idea...

Great collection there - I'm so jealous.....if it wasn't for my OCD which only allows my brain to let me cherish one bike at a time, i'd do the same. You're going to tell us you are a mormon now & post a picture of your 8 young wives.....
ps liking the judicious use of angle iron.....lots of trouble up t'north eh? _________________ Anyone who uses the term "workshop" outside the context of light engineering is a twat! (Alexei Sayle) |

Someone broke into the garage at my previous address, moved a couple of GSX-R's to get to the real prize - a DT125R. They were disturbed though luckily.
Makes you super-paranoid though. Ground anchors, big expensive chains, disklocks, internal padlocks, security lights, 200dB alarm system - all present and correct now. And more. Downside is it takes me half an hour to get one out for a ride. |

I know what you mean and yes it's a pain when you do want to go out but worth the hassle to be able to sleep well. Nice bikes too _________________ I was never as fast as I used to be !!! |

Nice shedload there, I had a change of heart in December and offloaded 3 bikes and another 2 more to go ... I just found them too much work and not enough riding, left with these:
MZ 250 (gets ridden the most Apr - Sept)
'53 BSA M21 (gets ridden most Oct - March, upsets the classic bike brigade!)
Ducati 900SS
Ducati 750GT roundcase ( my late father's bike 20 years ago)
Honda SS50 disk model
That's enough for me these days ... plus housesitting Yam 250LC and Monkey bike for my son _________________ If it don't ring-a-ding-ding it ain't worth a thing |
