It had 4 old fixtures up there before but the Ballasts were all almost done for. So.etimes yoy had a bulb or 2 lighting g up. Sometimes they just glowed. Took the chance to wired to plugs in the ceiling and teach my oldest son. Well give him a refresher on home wiring.

Well it has little to do with the exposure for the CVMG NORAL Motorcycle world
We have been invited to the Edmonton Car & motorcycle show on April 10-13-2025
There is a display area of 1000 Sq Ft and we need to fill it.There is 34 bikes registered and room for 28

?

Got the challenge to build a banner display for the club
I love a challenge when it comes my way
No tools needed to assemble (leave the Allen key at home)all places are numbered so no confusion HA HA

The bike in the picture is a winter project completed ready for sale

Nice banner! Good for you guys getting that many bikes out. Our Ganaraska Section is suffering for “fatigue”. We used to be able to get +20 bikes out for Winter shows in Toronto, but lately no one seems interested…… our aging demographic doesn’t help!

John
We do have about 10 younger members and they all have young kid's and are busy with that
Yes the crowd is a bit older and cheap

Got some cleaning and organizing done in the garage. Have 11 wall looking ok. Not good yet but getting there.

Gurp · « **Reply #2008 on:** March 12, 2025, 06:35:03 PM »

Worked in the garage for about 3 hours today. Got stuff moved around and cleaned up more. I'll be able to get 2 lift tables in the garage now! Just to start fb hunting for one now.

A lift table makes ALL the difference.

Yeah they do. I love the HF one I have now, found it on marketplace for 180 bucks yeats back. One of the best buys I've made working on the bikes. That's why I'm wanting a second one now that I have the room.

Gurp · « **Reply #2011 on:** March 15, 2025, 07:01:33 AM »

Scored one of a younger guy I used to work with. He rides but doesn't wrench. He moved and downsized places so got a good deal with a upgraded chalk.

It's not permanent set but I just slid it to right about where it will be. Still have to finish getting things read then level both of them out.

BenelliSEI · « **Reply #2012 on:** March 15, 2025, 09:35:54 AM »

Nice….. That one looks like new!

Kelly E · « **Reply #2013 on:** March 15, 2025, 09:51:42 AM »

I've been trying to wear out my HF lift since 2017. Right now it's holding my 01' Honda TRX 350 Rancher. I made side extensions from an old single bed frame so the ATV fits.

Gurp · « **Reply #2014 on:** March 15, 2025, 10:05:07 AM »

I bought my fort one used in like 2020 for 180 bucks. I've had everything from small bikes to big twins on it and it's been amazing. I had one tab break on the lift and I welded it back. It's been the best 180 bucks I've ever spent tool wise.

Yes Lift table is a essential thing to have in the shop
I bought mine back in 2014 ans its a HD lift 1500 Lbs with side extensions
Also overhead crane .What a treat to have that option from the sealing
Setting in a engine in less then 5 min is a record and no damage to the frame paint

Now that's the way to do it!

Got the lifts set where they will stay and leveled/shimmer. Got my garage radio in place as well. Gonna stop by lowes tomorrow and get new totes for the GFs stuff in there. Gonna move it all out to a old trailer at the bottom of my driveway I use for storage. Probably grab totes tomorrow.

She's got 5/10 totes of stuff out there. They are older thin totes. I'm going to get better totes that are all the same for her stuff

My shop is close to 500’ from the house but I think that would be a bit close! 😛

Gurp · « **Reply #2024 on:** March 16, 2025, 07:21:27 PM »

No Wife. But the GF stays in the house mostly. Doesn't work. Doesn't leave the house unless she has too. Tried to get her to come out and help today to no avail
