Garage Envy

Post by 1130cc »

Ok, this is just fort a bit of fun.

it doesn't matter if you work under a tarp, in a garden sherd, or have a state of the art warehouse.
Lets have a look at your "workshop"\garage

Here's mine.

Oooo, and I need to sell the lathe, 4l V8 lump, Borg Warner 65 autobox, 3D printer, Moon tank, XT550 forks plus both wheels 'n' tyres, and maybe the trike and XT550.

Nice GS there.
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Would a BW65 box swap straight for a BW35 ? Or is it a complicated move?

Pretty sure is is a straight swap.

I brought the box about 10 years ago, and it has been sat in the back of the garage.
I was assured it worked, by a really nice guy who built race style side cars.
Would have to sell it as "spares or repair".

It is a great commuter. I've put 75,000 miles on it.
Hasn't been used much since just before Covid, as I mainly work from home.

Butt ugly but a great touring bike and so cumfy. :thumbsup:

I would love a proper garage/workshop, sadly I have neither, any work has to be done outdoors, Trike is kept under a cover and I am obviously dependent on the weather,buying a new (to me) trike at the beginning of November is probably not going to do anything for my frustration levels, nor is it a good idea for a 71 year old to spend a lot of time in the cold and wet.
