          Boy Cyclone, that quite a batch of bikes and stuff! Now, are you going to give some details on that racy looking bike, in the last picture, with twin tubes for a gas tank? ???  We're waiting! >:( ::) ;D You HAVE to know that SOMEBODY was going to spot it and ask......... didn't you? :D Amazing how the work areas vary so much from next to nothing, to nice and roomy! I'm still looking for some space myself. ::)

                                 Later on, Bill :) ;)

Hey hey hey, "Let he who hath not picked thy nose, casteth the first stone"............  ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Sadly no.  I sold that bike in the mid '70's to buy the CL175, which I then sold in the late '70's to buy the CB350F.

I am waiting until spring to take and post pics of my shop...I bought a new house this past summer and the owner for some reason decided to divide the double garage into 2 singles?!?! Neighbours claim he was raising reptiles but judging by the creative wiring and power diversion I suspect he was raising something that was in fact green but grows better under fluorescent lighting!

The wife gave me so much work inside the house (previous owners were filthy trailer trash!) that I haven't had the time to tear down the wall etc but it will be done in the spring at the latest. Although I did toy with keeping it as 2 singles as the finished side has been a nice bonus for the bikes as the temp is much warmer on that side....

So you bought a trailer Dennis? Not bad finding one with a 2 car garage though............. ;D

It might as well have been! It has a pool in the back yard and apparently the previous owners didnt have it separated from the rest of the yard...2 dogs drowned in it before they were bright enough to put a fence up. Now there are 2 dogs buried in the backyard the neighbours tell me!! Not to mention that when we moved in we found 30 or 40 random pills we found through out the house (oxycotin - Hillbilly Heroin as it was referred to with Limbaugh scandal).

Oh well we got a good deal on the place and with ALOT of work it will be really nice!

I am just glad to have my double garage...sure beats the car port I had before! And the neighbours are sure glad to have us there!
