So i typically will go to yard sales and flea markets if I see a box of wrenches i'll always dig through and ask how much? I try and get 20+ wrenches for $10 if and when possible ....Filled the back pack a few times doing this.... Just started looking at them tonight and found this one interesting

Vmax...why,yes i think i will
my new garage concrete slab arrived today, woohoo
11m x 4.5m (36 foot x 15 foot), garage itself gets delivered in about a weekand a half and then new driveway and paths round the garden
already got 3 bikes to put in it (and waiting for the wifey to go away for xmas to slip an other one in and pull it to bits so she doesn't notice ) they'll have to share the space with a c#r and lawnmower but thats the price you pay i guess. its taken most of a year with permit/neighbour/fence etc problems but its finally happening

This is a great machine when properly setup; based on the Singer model 66. It can sew 1/2" leather and heavy duty duck cloth (canvas), just use the proper thread and needle..

Hasn't been ridden in about 8-9 months so I should be able to get it running.
Okay I did buy this bike but DAMN! it's going to need a lot of work.
But can't complaing too much only paid $300.00 for it.
I will have to tear it completely down and go through everything eventually.
By the way I was asking him about riding it last and he tells me it was February this year.
So I was going over the bike and says he rode it to the storage locker.
Well first thing I see is there is literally no oil in the bike and he says he rode it that's scary.
The secong things is all in one the gas tank has surface rust and he says it was like that when he bought it.
the other thing is the petcocks stopped working so the guy that owned it before him has bypassed the petcocks with other on/off valves.
Plus it needs new carb boots these have been coated with something ugly and pink.
But first all of the extra garbage has to go.

Finn and Lamer, those are great deals! Lamer, you can sell the fairing and seat and recoup most of your money, hope that engine is okay.

Commando's got some new shoes ;D Alloy wheelset and new Dunlop K81s . . . tires went on reasonably well, used a slick tool to protect the rims from the tire irons. Will post a pic of those later.

That's probably the lamest thing you've posted on this thread, and yet I'm still jealous.....
