Very nice mate, and I love your GPZ900, rare color scheme too! Cheers, Terry. ;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?"

Thanks! I'd originally bought the GPz as a fixer/flipper but somewhere along the way it turned into a keeper. I slept on the couch for it but what the wife doesn't know is that I would've cheerfully slept in a snow bank. ;D ;D ;D

Ha ha, no worries mate, a good GPZ900R is worth freezing your nuts for! I've never owned one, I better get off my arse and find one! Cheers, Terry. ;D

Is the stand under the 750 lump a retail item?

Its not much mainly a sotrage room and one side of the carport but it works good for now.

Storage Room:






Not the best pic. But you get the idea. Had a friend build me a super strudy metal table and the lift. Just have to leave the wife enough room to park her car lol!

Not bad here. Only gets down to the low 20's at night at the worst of winter so I can still work during the day. I really want an inclosed garage but for now this works.

Well...just a couple miles away from Ekpent's, is my chaotic palace of two wheeled motorheadedness...I can't remember if I ever posted in here or not, but this is what it looks like nowadays...
view from the parts storage loft...


view from my bud's loft apartment door...

machine area...eventually hope to use that mill thing for something other than a spring compressor

here is all my junk(except for what is scattered about my residence)  The guys I share space with are constantly on my case about having too many bikes...bottom line is mine come and go much more rapidly than theirs...

here are some of my bud's schidt...brit bikes that haven't seen daylight in two years....seems normal, right?

This is an '09 Nightster.  Just got chain drive conversion and longer rear shocks, about to get lower bars...transforming from poser chopper to muscle bike road burner

We call him C.H.U.D.  He's a certified HD mechanic and is the laziest of any...but he sure does speak up quick when you are doing it wrong.  Here's his Ironhead and his FXR...

Here is why Michigan's depressed economy rules...rent for this space is $250 a month...split between 5 good friends.

FARK! Does it sound gay when I say that I'm in love with your shop mate? Fcuking Superb! When I come over to murder Eric and his family and steal all his bikes, I'm gonna have to drop around to your place for a beer! Cheers, Terry. ;D
