My new MC "Studio"

#1

Post by 77Gowing »

I have been busy & distracted. Sorry I have not posted this until now.
This is where I do all my damage as an old brain adalded ham fisted bike mechanic wanna be. Took me forever to learn how to post my own vidio. Was told to ask any 12 year old girl...sorry dont know any.
Let's see if I can get this to work.

I am proud of this, but please dont get the impression that I think "that I'm all that and a bag of chips."
I come here to be edified and learn from you all. And I have a lot to learn. For example: my new multi process welding machine, I barely know how to turn on. My Oxy/acetylene torch is unopened and I have not gas welded in 50 years. Much to do & much to learn.
But, for me...it is an adventurous sojourne, that teaches important, interesting and entertaining lessons.
You good fellows on this awesome forum make this all possible for me.
Please enjoy my little video about my shed, that you all inspired me to set up.
God speed!

Yeah. All your motorcycles are together. You should have some innards scattered about. Nice getaway cave.

Thanks all.
Been helping a young 28 yr old pup, on his 09 Ninja that was held together by mostly zip ties. It is all put right and I cant believe how easy it was to do, not like working on GL-s. Also glad my young friend is safer now. He was oblivious to the danger. His ego, would not let him admit he was at serious risk. At least he's has riding skills and shows it. However, I would not put him past riding a bike held together with old shoe laces.

There was a Fridge shown in the video & there is beer in it. I just thought that it goes without saying.
As Ben Franklin said, "God made beer so Man can be happy."
