Topic: Industrial shelves = hoarding or organizing?

[Don R]

I asked Santa for 6' tall x 8' long steel shelves for christmas, and some plastic totes to sort and store my excess cb750 stuff. Is that organized hoarding? I can still use the rest of the shop, and nothing is in the house except the slicks from the race car. (spare bedroom, cool in there, welding is bad for the rubber)

Can't be too organized-------------------------------------------------- While hoarding 
   It is nice though to pick your own part off a shelf and not E-bay though.

Yes, organized hoarding!  I've built 1 custom shelve unit with cabinet grade plywood and have plans for another, much larger unit for one side of the garage.  That would replace the short, crappy plastic shelves the wife bought years ago.  The new unit will be built all the way up to the ceiling - more space  for more parts!

My cousin managed one of those GAP clothing stores.  When they remodeled, he called me and I was able to hoard about 200 linear feet of 24" stained wood shelving and all the bracketing needed to shelve one whole garage wall.
I was doing a good deed when I SAVED it from the trash heap
You can never have too much shelving!

I had to hoard some shelving myself recently...got this warehouse sized pallet rack, upper level for storage-

lower level serves as workbench and can be seen behind the new $50 550 which I need to hoard some parts for to complete

Eric, that is not actually a hoard up there.  That is really a dumpster in disguise. lol

[Don R]

That's what I'm talking about.

Should have used that rusty rear rim to talk him down to $45. At least yours is indoors. I can't remember if I paid $50 or $100 for mine, but it is still an outdoor bike.

We found a few of those notched shelves like the big box stores use, put a few 10' up or more. made room for two CNC machines.

The interceptor got moved to the chicken shed. (Back burner.)

[Don R]

 I think Santa used my truck to get me shelves over the weekend. I went to a racing trade show in Indianapolis and when I got back the seat was moved, the radio was on a new station and the junk in the back was restacked. lol.

[rb550four]

Wait a minute, Now hoarding is okay?
What's this, a new shop fashion statement has arrived so now it's in vogue as long as we use industrial shelving?
 Do you know how many bikes I passed up in the past few months?
Now the 12 step program is bullsh1t?
Well that's just fine , I'm gonna run right out and buy a bike, and some more shelves... and maybe even another bike .

[seanbarney41]

hell yeah RB, I bought two today

[rb550four]

Two bikes or two shelf units?

[Stev-o]

I know of two CB500's in NY that I should buy!

[goldarrow]

Twice the space on the shelves!

[seanbarney41]

two bikes

[rb550four]

Yeah !  Why not?  That's what I'm talking about!

[rb550four]

What two bikes did you buy?

[seanbarney41]

Cb750F0, and cb750f1...they are kinda ruff, I will do posts on how I do with them, I keep bringing my camera everywhere with no memory card lol

[rb550four]

Nice . I kinda go for the rough ones myself, keeps my interest and guarantees a better than thorough rebuild. There's usually just so much stuff to repair that riding it before it's ready isn't an option.  So when it's done , it really is done.

[seanbarney41]

yeah, I agree...although the more complete F0 I have already been ripping around the neighborhood

It's just kinda funny, couple weeks ago I scored an incomplete 550K0 with no title for $50 so I have been scouring area Craigslists for a titled frame and missing parts.  Then these popped up and I had to have them...still looking for the 550 stuff.

[rb550four]

What kind of 550 stuff are you after?

[seanbarney41]

What kind of 550 stuff are you after?

I need carbs, airbox, and a seat...oh yeah and a titled frame

[rb550four]

I think that I might have every air box thru the years here...all spares . What year F or K ?
Not sure of the carb inventory yet though. I'm having a PD shortage here.
Seats...all out. Would a Vermont registration work for your frame?

[seanbarney41]

Not much point in aquiring the missing parts until I have a title, unfortunately.  And more likely than not, that title will have a more complete bike attached.  But I do appreciate your offer.  It's kind of an interesting bike though as the frame and engine #'s are under 1500, build date of late 1973.

[rb550four]

So it was out of the gate before it was offered in 74? Neat. I would try the Vermont registration just to keep that piece of Honda history alive.

[seanbarney41]

Yeah, that's a good point although I can't see many collectors being interested in a low number 550 except maybe a couple fanatics on this site.  It would take a lot of work and money to put this one back to stock.  I wish you lived closer.  We could probably figure something out.  I have always concentrated on the 750's and have way more spare parts and resources for them.  Anyway, I have it carefully boxed up until I decide what to do with it.

[Don R]

My personal rule is it has to be indoors, I still have to get everything else (cars lawn mowers) inside, except the race trailer in the summer, right now it's in storage. and I still have to be able to use the shop for working on race cars and bikes to sell.
 
 That's where the shelves come in. It will be easier to access my 750/400f parts and still work in the shop.

[Stev-o]

My personal rule is "There are no rules!"  And don't tell the wife...

[goldarrow]

Rules are there so people can break them

[Don R]

 True dat,
