Running Out of Room in the Workshop

[BratmanXj]

The 5yr old always asks me to go for a ride when I pull the bike out. I've taken him a few times out on the country roads when I'm out at the family cottage but just don't feel safe with him on the back around heavy traffic of Chicago....so I went a bought a new "family" toy. '07 with 5,900 miles (it might only be KM?!?) for about $3k less than the next lowest advertised in the region. Female cop tore some ligaments in her shoulder and just can't ride it anymore. She was happy to see it go to someone who's going to get some use out of it.

 

 

So I have the Venture in the workshop, the John Deere with snow thrower (that I have to fix the bearings in the thrower), I was given an 80's Honda Helix 250 with title if I wanted to fix it, and given an '83 Suzuki Quadrunner with carb issues. The problems you have when you like to wheel-n-deal.

I used to get 2 cars in my shop now I'm lucky to get 2 motorcycles and I keep showing my wife places with bigger shops than houses but she just tells me I don't need a bigger shop.

Selling the Slingshot freed up a lot of room in my garage. When I get the '05 sold, my wife will actually be able to get her Murano in the garage again. She hasn't complained though. The tractor, mowers, etc. are in the building that was once a greenhouse. It is 30' x 60' and FULL right now.

Enjoy,

Combo's are great fun, and nice to see a good condition Ural, I rode one for my rally bike for a few yrs. {Travelling 5 star hotel}. When I was young we had a woman {mid 20's?} who had a Dnepier/Cossak/Ural? Combo, and took her big male Rottie everywhere in it. Bloody dog loved it, including sitting in it dressed up like Snoopy with a white scarf and a leather hat n goggles with ear cut slots cut in it.

"4 car" garage, 2-1/2 car over-sized and a 1-1/2 car heated and insulated workshop. I'm gonna have to modify the double doors that I ride the Venture through so I can get the hack through as well. The shed usually has the John Deere during the summer but I keep it in the workshop when set up for winter duty so it doesn't freeze up on me.

 

The wife ALWAYS has a spot in the garage, my work beater sits outside, and my father's SUV that I kept when he passed is usually in the other 1/2 of the garage. His SUV has been on loan to a few family members this year so I haven't seen it much and kinda got use to having the extra space.
