That's almost as impressive as a CB450! ;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?"

I'd love a space like that! Might even put a bed in there too, kettle, fridge, TV.....anything to keep me out of the house for longer......and with my old clunkers that wipe-clean floor would be a Godsend.. ;D

Zombie Thread Revival.

Update on my “corner” - after much cleaning and shuffling and shelving it looks like a proper workspace!

Anyone else done some spring/autumn shop cleaning?

Here's a blurry cell phone shot from a couple of months ago.
It actually looks better now that I've finished the CB550 and the XS650 and cleaned up a bit.
But of course I don't have a picture of that.  ::)

your wee flag to the left, it has too many stars, and they are the wrong colour. If you want, I can rectify this problem and save you from embarrassment.  ;D
Damn, I need more room.
