These are my current rides a 2014 Triumph Sprint GT 1050, and a 1966 Speedtwin. The Speedtwin has been in bits over the winter, both wheels rebuilt plus a host of other work including getting the original nacelle sourced, plus a rewire. Not far off now.

I took the sprint to Spain in May and rode back up through France. Eats up the miles fully loaded with mrs plus panniers and topbox. Wonderful machine

This is why my outboard projects have been thinned right down..

Yummy machines and how about where you can ride them?

Jealous indeed.

Made another rack and there is another older rack cleaned off to make another between racks walkway thingy.

Still more motors in old garage but making progress.

I have more to go from old garage.

The house is being used a bit for selected clean and completed.

I will need a hand the big ones during the week.

This is ridiculous!

G'day B, always in awe when I see photos of your collection mate. Absolutely fantastic!

Your shed appears quite large but I wonder how you'll go getting another 40 odd in there. Might be time to reduce height of existing stands so you can double stack maybe?

I'm feeling pain right now and only have about 10% by comparison. Looking to put up another shed but am limited to approx. 5 x 3.5m and know that it will fill up quickly. Off site storage starting to look like option worthy of further/serious consideration.

Regards,
S

Day Mate

Shed is filling up but there is 1/4 of it still nothing to take photos of......in being room for racks yet. (never send pics of what is still a mess aye.)

Then there is the center taken up with GSX which soon in olde garage with Ducati, Honda and HD now. There should be plenty of room for more racks soon.

Best thing is I have more than enough space, single level ground storage for another 78 outboards hanging around outside under tarps etc at the moment.

There are some longer motors on the floor at this stage...............I invisage hanging them on walls etc soon.

While at it I will make some "HI-Rise" racks around the walls for the little guys which will make more than enough room.

Shed for outboards is 20 x 20 x 8 ft.

Should work out well.

The Olde Garage is going to be "Joined" to the rear shed so extra area and hanging room will be greatly increased.

12 months done and dusted Aye.

Cheers

Rear brake foot height is now under attention. Mod myself as machine shops do not want to know......(Brake Shaft Mod.........Scared.)

I will mod and do the paperwork for compliance as that is what I do anyway.

I just wanted to keep hands clean and compliance at bay aye........................suck it up B.

Seen that one in your

photobucket before, green with envy.

If it were mine, it would live in the main bedroom.

Any complaints from wifey, she would have her marching orders delivered.

Update

Olde Garage cleared out enough to get this under cover. Took nice video on a Nokia95 as it really does seriously nice vids when set up. Vid taken vertical so as to align microphones etc. Very high res as well......

Then uploaded to photobucket to destroy.............why bother but you get the idea.

You get what you pay for aye

There is a LOT of stuff to be going to tip so skip bin in driveway this weekend.

I see the mighty 186 still holds a place of honour in the shed. Good to see.

You Guys are thinking way too big for me, a 67 Monkey Bike fits in the house and the wife doesn't moan too much because it's "cute"

Posted: **Fri Jul 24, 2015 5:40 am**

Can't argue that.

Definitely cute

No sure which one I'd steal Rene,
long shaft OF,
or a monkey bike,
got an OF, but not a long one,
how big a suitcase do I need for that bike?
