Best place to spanner? The living room?

[Dale]

Now I know some guys have fully kitted garages and workshops with all these creature comforts and more - but...

Was putting the final few pieces on one of my builds last night.

I figured what the hell, the living room has:

1. Under floor heating
2. A comfy rug
3. A TV
4. A couch to sit back and contemplate my handywork
5. The kitchen is a super close

So why would I work in the garage? I'll tell you: No reason.

So brought the bike in, settled in, and did some light spannering. I can seriously recommend it.

Any of you guys doing the same / different?

That's all good and well if you don't have a wife and kids.....


But my garage never gets cold enough not to work in anyway ;D

 

[Mr.E]

Well I know for me, the fridge with the beer in it is closer to the garage, so... :

I don't work on mine in the house but I'll park in in the family room now and then.

Not one to judge, but with homes like that, it looks like you should be able to replicate any one of those wicked shops, easy!!

For me, going to work on my bike is all about getting away from the world I "live" in.

You are obviously NOT married to a redhead.

And like Mr. E, the beer fridge is closer in my garage, and the tunes are better.

Fuck that. Working on a bike SUCKS when done in your house. Well, it does when its my shithole that you couldnt get a bike into alone, or leave anything lying about, or make any mess, or... Good on ya for having the space. Most dont.

 

[Hoofhearted]

I smell bullshit. There's no oil on the floor or greasy hand prints on the couch. Oh wait! The bike isn't British. That explains it. Sorry.

I want to see a video of you testing out the rev limiter on that NSR while it's in the house ;D

Just a bit of tongue-in-cheek guys. Don't get too worked up.

Yeah, definitely wont be kicking over the motor in the house!

 

[Fox]

If yours is light wrenching, then what does that make mine?

 

[Dyrden]

I can say this, dont open up 40 year old forks in the kitchen sink. The smell is unmistakable and will definitely linger for more than a day or so. Also, wrenching in the living room is crazy..... I prefer the dinning room, its much closer to the kitchen!

Also the stove top is useless when you dont cook so:

I once put a basket case yamaha together in the spare bedroom of my old apt. When I was still single of course.

Hell, I don't even like opening old forks in my garage because of the smell.
