Wish I had that much space :mrgreen: I'm having to thin my outboard collection somewhat to make room for 2 motorcycles 1 older and 1 very new :) My garage has never been so tidy!

To get a bit more room, what about a double decker with the lighter ones on a hoist system above the others. Just a thought.

Here's a question Adrian, which branch of your hobbies leaves the smallest oil slick on the garage floor?

:D definitely the speed twin. When I first got it I decided to put fresh oil in the primary case and also the gearbox. I might as well poured it straight on the floor...

Leaks now mostly sorted apart from a drip from the kick start and the back of the clutch after stopping the engine. Love the old thing though.

British means "Constant Loss Replacement System" regarding lubrication Aye.

Then Lucas "King of Darkness" was thrown in to make the experience Complete.

Then Honda with oil seals and electric start came along........................

We ALL enjoy however!

I wonder how many Hondas will still be running & repairable at over 65 years old?

I have 50+ year old Anzanis with Lucas magnetos that still work & I can still buy bits for, without selling my first born, I doubt if that statement will be true for a Honda ECM.

This is the speed twin, quite a lot lot of non standard parts fitted. I will ride it in the summer and slowly convert it back to standard as I find the parts over a few winters :)

Like the SpeedTwin a LOT!

Progress so far. I have calculated a 3ft walk way between racks. Next one (Working Mobile Rack) done.

The GSX has turned 90 degrees, nearly there.

Still chaos behind camera.

Found more old friends.

Homicide last night on my opposit verge. Put a damper on the day and I am still in lockdown running out of smokes................

Oyster - have you moved your surplus engines to new homes now?

If anything left - non-seagull especially - please pm me a brief list.

Thanks, Rick

That Old Table?

Makeover!

Light duty motorcycle work table now with folded 0.8mm top. GSX is still at 90 degrees and chaos behind camera. The GSX will be next to the revised table soon.

The Ducati...............still working on fitting it in to the show.....

Five more racks including one more @20 feet.

I will maybe start Workshop Again #3 in a couple of weekends if any one is interested aye.

I have upgraded my electrolosys tanks as well. I have a large one now. The PipeLine extractors for the GSX fit just into the 200L test tank .................Will be cool aye!

I would like to think that those following have seen/read/visited Workshop #1 by the way yeh?

I must add this!

GSX is finally in position at 180 degrees, facing door and smack bang in the middle of all things outboard with its own service table.

Now I can ad the rack behind it.

Still chaos behind camera.

Still Chaos in the other shed.

Making some ground however and Seagulls will have the other wall rack by the look of things :o
