That's Joe Abbate's shop, he has a business restoring bikes and painting tanks. I've bought a bit of stuff from him.

Now the penny drops...I've had dealings with Joe as well. He's a decent sort of bloke but still very anal. That wall freaks me out. :o

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!!!

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.

I was going to mention, the problem with posting pics....  Is that everyone starts bugging you to buy your shit.

i was doing some panel beating today after some mongo woman decided to go left from the right hand lane of a roundabout. At some stage I stepped back surveyed the scene and thought, jeez, this is a shed that a man would be proud of ;D
