Today was a fairly major re-organisation and tidy up, so it is less cluttered in there now. The YZ125E with no handle bars is now dismantled and it's motor is in the F (red seat, no motor).

The motors:

The last three in the line are still wet ,Had a good ride today at Frankston MX track. The YZ400E is getting better but it's suspension will need some more work.I feel like i've got a new pirelli up the clacker !! ouch.

Post by: Nathan S on August 04, 2007, 09:58:51 pm: Two years ago, I had the TM and the DT250 (can you see a DT250 in those pics? Neither can I, but it's there! :D ).
And did I mention the six bikes* in the garage?

YZ125A and YZ125X (hi DJR!) and then I'm done... But of course, I wouldn't knock back a YZ250A or CR250RH or 84 KTM125 or SL70 or...

*DT175 x2, WR360, KTM250, RT1, AT2.
Title: Re: shed pic & fridges
Post by: DJRacing on August 04, 2007, 11:11:49 pm: OH a YZ125X. If there is a bike out there that gets some funny looks from the modern riders its the X. Standing at about half the height of a new bike and with the rev counter and speedo on top of the forks most people have to ask what the hell are they for. ;D. You need to get one Nathan. Someone over there must have one they dont need???

Title: Re: shed pic & fridges
Post by: AjayVMX on August 10, 2007, 06:27:56 am: Thanks Tim.

There are a few non-bike related stickers on the fridge (and Allis was a company I used to work for, used to be Allis Chalmers) for which I apologise. At one stage I would just put any damn things on it.... ::)

The area under the stairs is storage for up to 5 bikes and parts.
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008-1/1296303/under.JPG)
Just enough room to work on one bike in comfort.

I've heard of you!!
Friends up north say there's a bloke in the area who'll do the deed in return for any old trail bike.
Story is the lonely ladies are hauling rusty dungers from the old mans shed in payment for services rendered.

They called him 'Rim shot buddy' but I didn't make the connection 'til now!
Way ta go - good on you!! ;) :D ;D

Wow, now that's what I call a shed :o. A nice balance of organised chaos.

....and the toys :o

....stolen number plates and all. Even allegiance to the Puss :o ;D

I hope that's not a sidecar with the foam panels on it.
Title: Re: shed pic & fridges
Post by: Colin Jay on June 10, 2008, 03:05:44 pm: Yes, there is a RV125 in the eclectic mix of 34 bike that live in the shed.

Not one number plate stolen, all are from vehicles I have owned plus one that was given to me by a US submariner in Guam off of his Californian registered pickup truck.

16 years in the puss, ex CPO Gunbuster.

Yes that is a sidecar body, for 1978 XS1100 Yamaha if I ever get my finger out and finish building the chassis.

:D Oh lordy yes. As the saying goes: The shit expands to fill the available space.

We bought our place largely because it has good car and bike storage... When I moved in, everything was clean and tidy and well-ordered. About six months later, all of the space was filled up.
Now it's just as much of a pig-sty than the old place - but a bigger one.
Title: Re: shed pic & fridges
Post by: Colin Jay on June 11, 2008, 08:32:21 am: D Project,

Yes, it is a 1965 S600 Honda. I also have a small collection of 1960's and early 70's Honda bike buried amongst the other bikes.

1964 S90 Sports (restored)
1962 C72 Dream 250 (original condition)
1960 C71 Dream 250 (original condition)
1964 C72 Dream 250 (original condition)
1964 C102 Super Cub 50cc (original condition)
1972? QA50 (tidied up and ridable)
1972? XL250 Motorsport (wreck to be VMX'd)
1972? XL350 (rolling chassis only)
1972? SL125 (original condition to be restored)
1976 TL125S (original condition ridable)
1973 CB350F (trike)

I forgot, there is also a CD175 and the remains of 2 x SL175 twins buried under a pile of stuff in the back corner of the shed

Title: Re: shed pic & fridges
Post by: firko on December 06, 2009, 09:25:40 am: I know a bloke who has a shed like that...everything in its place and a place for everything. He polishes his tools, waxes the floor and his cars have little carpet squares under each tyre. Speaking of his cars, he spends all day Saturday 8am-5pm cleaning and maintaining them....every Saturday, with only rare exceptions. If you're lucky enough to be offered a beer in his shed it's placed on a nice fresh coaster and if that coaster gets even slightly soggy it's instantly replaced with a dry one. If you dare to place the beer down away from the coaster he'll quietly reach over and put it on the coaster for you! The empty beer bottle is whisked away as soon as the last drop is drained and placed in the colour coder glass recycling bin. It's a very uncomfortable experience doing anything at his house, for fear of doing something to disrupt his orderly existence. I bet you the above anal retentive lives a similar well ordered and very creepy life.

Post by: maxvmx on December 06, 2009, 06:02:10 pm: Well, we are just in the process of selling up and moving out , so while the mrs has been hard at work dusting, cleaning and vacuming the house to impress potential buyers - I have been out in my shed shuffling around my bikes and parts to make that same first impresion. Firstly, the RM got moved to the front of the que of bikes to greet them as they step into "my domain" then the KX's are stategically placed towards the rear to lure them in and challenge their comfort level as they negotiate their footing amongst Ralph's bad habbits - more on that later! . Finaly the bike parts were scattered in such a way as to inspire the bloke in us all - not too many, but just enough to let the creative juices swell.
Anyway I had to vacate my house today with Ralph my labrador for an hour or so to let the prospective buyers look around at their leasure, so when I got back, Ralphs keen nose soon told us in no uncertain terms that the RM was a winner and that more people were out in my shed being impressed and inspired than a couple of house wives looking at the oven or shower.
Bottom line - sheds sell! that's why we (I) bought this house in the first place. Why are we selling? Saw this place, close to schools, nice gardens, tidy street, good location - And a shed with three phase power!!!

Post by: Slakewell on December 06, 2009, 08:48:27 pm: My collections were Montesa, XL honda's mostly while I like the Maico's I have never bought any. I did have 3 YZ 250 A's at one time but someone wanted them far more than me a while back. MX montesa frames are very different from the enduro ones so I did stash a few of those but they have all gone to new homes and hopefully back to the track.

Hey Stan ,,Doggy Digger on this forum was selling them at Classic Dirt 8 for 15$ - I'm thinking/hopeing he may come down in price now that the event is over :P ;D as I could give them for presents or to trophy winning riders.I have sent a message/smoke signal for another 5 ;D

Thanks Alison, I will give him a try. $15 seems pretty cheap for a peice of his artwork.

after over 10 years with no shed to work out of i now have a great shed to do my bikes and finish some of my projects that have been in boxes. No more packing everything up at night and storing in a bloody container. Peter.

I remember reading in an old MXA about Stanton and Bradshaw (I think?) riding those, up against the CR's etc before they canned the 500 class in the US. They didn't have anything nice to say about them, but I reckon the comparisons between bikes in the 'shootouts' the magazines run, both then and now' is mostly nitpicking.

BTW, that shed is crying out for a mezzanine floor to double the amount of 'stuff' you can hide/fit in there ;D. Good going though, I just figured out how to make my 9x9 shed bigger on the weekend without having to re-invent the wheel.
