Wow your house is a paradise. See what happens if you stay with your youth. I can still remember my mum and dad going balistic when they got home and I had my Norton in the house. Her who must be obeyed my wife just does'nt understand us men. I can just imagine the look on her face if I did that, Maybe I should just to see it. But I won't upset her as she has only just got around to the idea of me having another bike. Thats why I'm smuggling it in a bit at a time.

I'm sure if I thinned out the parts and got rid of the sofa bed that the boxes containing petrol tanks etc are sat on I could fit a 3rd bike in there. May have to do just that when I start assembling the 955.

Garage is fairly full with the 996, S2R, 750/900 Sport, 750SSie and the R6 as well as various engines, work bench, large pillar drill and a large compressor, where as the workshop contains the M750, CBR600, TL1000, parts of the Harris, a smaller compressor, Tyre/wheel rack, work bench and numerous boxes of spares.

Getting the 600SS which has been uprated to a 750SS MOT'd on Friday afternoon, then I can see about selling it to create a bit more space

Sounds good to me Kev wish I could get away with it

The Ex did decide on white carpets etc but when I had to buy her out I had to increase my income so started to work on bikes for a bit of extra cash, as that used up my garage space and with no workshop at the time. when I landed a job with a better income allowing me to not only pay the mortgage but also have some left for a project, i commisioned the first ever Magnum Two frame built to take a Yamaha FJ engine and started building it in the Lounge.
and after garage was broken into 3 times with the loss of my Bimota and GSXR1100 anything with real value or not insured is now either locked up in the workshop or in the back room.
