Its been slow here. Who's in the garage modding?
Any plans for changes or improvements? Anyone doing anything fancy to their hibernating steed?
Not I, I don't think. I just built a bike! That said I'd like to see what you all may be up to. Spud? Whats with the Zong? :P

Nothing on the CB's this year...well, accept replacing one.
I will, on the other hand, be finishing up some metal work on my Vic TC. Other than that, just modding the garage itself! Unfortunately, due to the weather, my "All Winter Long" project is almost completed. :(

I drove to work again in the 4X4 today. We are going on 2 weeks of white $hit. My nurse asked if I was going to be grumpy again. I told her that the day she looks out the window and sees my bike, or at least my Corvette, I'm gonna be grumpy :? Maybe its time for a drink. :idea:

I just sent my resume to a hospital in coastal Central Kalifornia. Just putting out feelers. Winter's killing me.

We have tons of junk that we intend to work on, and all it will take is time and money. :?
We've gotta put the new China motor in the XR200R, and then we'll see about getting the China bike trail worthy with larger rims. If that is successful, we'll sell the current buddy bike and go all four stroke. TurboT and I have some maintenance to do to our Beast as well. The fun never ends.

No thank you. We're quite replete with mowers.

Changed the air filter today on my SYM HD200 scooter and rode it to the beach.

I don't have a heated garage to work in, Doc. I have been shoveling snow! :roll:

Doc,
I cleaned up my garage already. Yeah, I nailed a few peg boards. No, I didn't chalk the shapes of my tools on them. I can never figure out why people do that. It's not like I'm an idiot and can't remember what goes where. *rolls eyes* Oh, what is up with the prices of these pegboard pins. Got like 6 of them from Home Depot and $20 is gone. I pass by Downtown LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills before I get to Santa Monica. I still enjoy going up to the mountains through route 66. All good. All year round. Come on guys, just go ahead and hate me. |

I have found usable peg hooks at dollar stores for pretty cheap.

I don't have a garage. My work time gets pretty limited by weather and time of day. I did fix the lights in my shed so that I can work past dark.
