So what does your workshop look like this winter?

A little fine tuning on Junior (the complete bike on the lift) a set of Cruzinimage 1123 pistons for my original bike and a pair of VF1000R bikes to combine into one (with a complete & rebuilt spare motor.)

Good looking space, Doc! Certainly no shortage of projects!

My shop? No pics yet, but for the first time ever I'm storing bikes for the winter, since I'll be "away" this winter. The 985, 900, 1000C and the GL1500 will all be covered in the shop. I'll keep the 1100 in the garage, to ride when I come home for weekends. The 750 will come with me, and get a frame off rebuild, and Top End refresh over the winter. Hoping that I'll have room for the beast (currently at Mike Youngs house), as well, for those odd late fall/early spring "nice days".

Pics to come....today was spent re-arranging for a new 1100F I got that's coming next weekend....we are just getting into our good riding season with it being a little cooler than blistering hot in summer and less tropical rain. So work on projects slows down as I ride more...
