Floor Talk
« on: September 05, 2025, 01:33:38 PM »
I started pulling up the old 20 year old matting on my garage floor.  I was pretty well worn out by time I got all of the bikes I am not riding enough rolled out.  I did find a ton of dirt, some mold, and a number of various insects which I am sure a few date back to the Jurassic period.  The spring project is going to be all new cabinets and shelving and either epoxy or a good floor paint.  The matting has held up well but has worn in several high traffic areas and wrinkled badly from temperature change.

You're making me jealous...
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

  I had some left-over vinyl on the floor under the bikes to eliminate dampness but you can't scoot a bike sideways on a center stand and that's what I needed to do. I pulled it up and it too was stuck in a couple spots.
