    Here's a shot of my "shop". It's in my basement, so most of the actual work gets done in my carport outside.

    1980 XS850SG - Sold
    1981 XS1100LH Midnight Special (Sold) - purchased 9/29/08
    Fully Vetterized and Dynojet Kit added, Heated Grips, Truck-Lite LED headlight, Accel Coils, Irridium plugs, TKAT Fork Brace, XS850LH Final Drive & Black SS Brake lines from Chacal.

        I remember someone on here would examine every garage photo posted and comment on the contents. Now to await the critique of the garages.

          That would be Prom, IIRC. He seems to be able to gain very valuable insights into the personalities and lives of people by the pictures of their shops.

                Decided to kick an old dead dog back to life

                http://m.youtube.com/index?&client=m...&v=IIlCNPcri4M

                Here it is
                There are only two types of bikers...
                those that have layed it down, and
                those that have not layed it down...YET!


                1982 XJ1100J Maxim (F-Bomb)
                Not going to lie, Brand new at this... thanks for having a bit of patience with dumb questions

                  My shop isn't insulated or heated thus when the mercury drops and hovers around zero it becomes more of a storage shed then a place to work. Slide the door open and my tractor with snow blade faces you. We tend to fix what needs fixin and head back indoors so, it's a mess with battery chargers and extension cords, discarded parts and more laying everywhere you might want to place your feet. It's small. Two bikes sitten side by side leaves little room to walk around. I'll add a pic latter. Like many things in my life, it's a work in progress. I intend to make it more winter friendly when $$ permit.
