  • Book Review: Motorcycle Workshop

    "How to Set Up Your Motorcycle Workshop" (C.G. Masi)
    (Tips and tricks for building and equipping your dream workshop)
    Last winter got bored and ordered books a'plenty offa Ebay. [IMG][/IMG] Available on Ebay fer around $17 plus $8 fer handlin'. (Not really worth $25)
    Anyway... did have a few useful tips, but not really a book that I feel I need to hold on to.
    So here's the deal. I'm placing this book up for permanent loan. Here's how it works: I will ship the book to the first person that responds here in this thread and also PM's me his home address. He will read it, glean what he can from it and then ship it at HIS cost to the next person, etc.
    (Shipping from Olympia, Wa. to the east coast costs $2.79, so the cost for you to ship it to the next contestant may be a little more, or less. Should take under two weeks to arrive)
    As with any chain letter... evil will befall you if you break the chain.
    (If this thread dies after a while, just do a search for "Motorcycle Workshop" to bring it back up again and find the next person in line)
    Feel free to add your name to the inside cover as a historical record.

    The first tip for setting up a workshop at my place would be to shovel out all the crap in the garage...

      Hey, you got a garage!!!!
      I wish I had one. The carport is hard to work in, and no safe storage for my big tool box.

                    When I rented this place several years ago, the garage was the reason I moved in. When I finally buy a place, a 2 car sized garage is non-negotiable.

                      My 2 car garage BARELY fits one due to my inability to throw things away... and no way will I sit and have a yard sale, bickering with some idiot trying to talk me down off of my 50 cent price tag on something I payed 30 bucks for. So there sits a bunch of stuff (crap) that I "Might" use someday. I think my only option will be to have at least a 3 car.... maybe even a 4 car garage on the next house..... ya know.... more room for STUFF!!!

                        Hey, I have 2160 sq ft of shop space and I can hardly move around in it. It is that container and it's contents rule.

                          I've seen your shop and it's a dream shop to poor white trash like me. ;o)
