It's 00:53. My Harley is sleeping next to a Honda in some kind of unholy union.

(Did you see that? What? A cat went past the doorway and then another cat, just like it, went past. Are you sure? Was it the same cat?...)

And there are 3 other Hondas in the front of the garage sneaking peeks at them and whispering. I think it's gonna cause trouble.  ;D

It's 22.21 and my 650 is standing guard in the shed over a wounded GSX400, an embaressing pink Chinese scooter and fast but naked CBR400RR (fairings away being painted). ;D


Looks like I'm 14 hours ahead of everyone else as the SOHC clock says 12.23pm. ;)

09:20 GMT-05:00

The 550 "Hornet" is on center stand and a jack stand in the garage.  Forks removed, a red shop rag wrapped around a naked banjo bolt at brake switch, sopping up any DOT3 that dares to poke it's head out.  Her front tire in the basement, still on the balance stand after getting new bearings, spokes and a 750 brake disk.  A pair of polished 750 forks standing at the ready, waiting on dust seals before installation.

The CM250C tucked neatly in the corner under her sheet.  She's been sleeping unmolested since November.

The 750 and 650 are side by side in the work bay of the garage in various stages of disassembly.

The 350 is tucked away in the opposite corner behind the M3. Both ready for this damn snow to melt.

It's 2:22pm and dark in the garage.  The CB750 is sharing a couple of blankets with the BSA Lightning and wondering why the BSA is peeing on the floor.   :o The 66 305 Superhawk has it's own blanket and is ignoring them both.  ;D

1810 here.

The garage looks like its been ransaked.
The 76 550 is sitting on its center stand looking like someone took to it with a machete. Trying to firgure out why her triple tree bearings fit perfect but the trees shift back and forth. The jellied gas in her carbs is smelling up the stable. The 74 is a skeleton right now, sulking in the corner.

The mower is tryin to figure out what the hell is all over it and wtf is going on. lol

The old drag bike (mostly dad original) is in the kitchen warm and dry.   The current ride is in storage dirty and needing some work.   The other 3 are probly pissed wondering when they get their turn.  Oh and the 360 is next to the TV.

6:45 pm- My CB550 is in the garage waiting for me to first scold it for picking up a bad habit from it's Harley Chopper garage mate of marking it's territory, a couple drops now & then nothing big.  I'm waiting for the day I open the garage door & it's gotten on the lift on it's own ( I heard if you train them when young Harleys will load themselves in the back of the truck)- then off for a short ride-almost 60 here today!

my 650 is in my buddy's garage, kept company by his vulcan 750 and jealous of all the time i've spent getting a friend's virago up and running.
it keeps hissing "master brake cylinder, new tires!!!" at me, "and what about my valve seals!?" but for a bike with such remarkable self knowledge and verbal skills it still has no concept of economics and doesn't understand that i'm broke.
nor does it understand meteorological phenomena and how they relate to human motivation. (that means until it gets above zero i''m not doing any work).
