Member Contributer 007 Posted February 11, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 11, 2016 Advantage of living alone. P1020001.JPG Sometimes that means staying alone. Smart! I went and screwed up, invited her in, and now I have all these rules to follow. No motorcycle noises inside the house. Stop looking at VFRD. You can't have a garage with an apartment in the top containing only a bed, kitchen, and bathroom with a plexiglass floor to always keep your toys in view. You can't re-use old tires for gardening projects or decoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted February 11, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 11, 2016 ^^^ That's why I will only date women that ride. Trouble is, I only know 3 and they're all married! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer V-FORE Posted February 13, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 13, 2016 Last year I decided to become a minimalist....renting out my house and living in my trailer . I went from having a 2 car garage filled with misc. Car/Bike stuff to 3 different areas. Now I have a tool shed, dressing room (My riding suit hangs in here along with a lot of other crap) A 10 x 10 Storage unit, that houses tools, bike parts, & misc crap. This is where my two other bikes live when not being ridden. A shed that whatever bike I am riding lives in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A room in the attic and a sunroom and I have all I need to make me and the girl happy. I still can't get over waste disposal and clean / grey water in a trailer, but there are some pretty sweet trailers. Minimalism = freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original plan was to paint the bikes flat black and dig the tunnel to some unusual place hidden by leaves. Then I can shoot in and out like Batman. Sounds like it has been a month off the bike with thoughts like these.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atx Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 2 bay detached? Luckkyyyyyyy. I make do with what i've got, i just have to shuffle things around depending on what i am doing. I have a shop space offsite i split with friends, but at home it is much more cramped and just the essentials. I have a pancake compressor for filling tires and blowing things off, while the shop has the big honker i can use for sand blasting or for air tools(highly recommend an auto drain valve if you get a big honker). At home i tend to use 18v milwaukee stuff, and honestly for most bike stuff they have been awesome. The 18v 1/2" impact puts out insane torque, the only thing i'm missing is a lithium equivalent of an air ratchet which milwaukee doesn't really have yet. The smaller 1/4" impact is great for lighter fasteners. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2763-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted February 16, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've never seen Beetle Bags on a 4th gen - didn't even realize they had made them for it. They must be as rare as hen's teeth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted February 16, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ah my dream has always been a double garage ;). Some of yo guys have so much space. My current rework is my ZZR250 which is my winter bike. This is I at the start of the strip down. A single garage, just cleared of clutter, most of which went into a new 11'x8' shed I built this past summer & that's my new cheap eBay work bench, as my knees can't handle the kneeling any more. Wish I'd bought one years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer rhoderage Posted February 16, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 16, 2016 I appreciate and envy some of your awesome setups... for now my workshop is the driveway, which frequently results in wrecked knees, sunburn, and lost fasteners... but the job gets done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in luck, i happen to be a picture whore so i take lots after i change anything. Also i found the old sale page on corbin's site via the web archive if you want the old cool promotional pics. https://web.archive.org/web/20060318164501/http://www.corbin.com/honda/vfr750bags.shtml Just made up and installed some grip pads Installed a whelen 3rd brake light also Here it is right after install next to my buddy's 06 with factory hard bags I still haven't figured out the best way to photograph these things, weird bubbly shape and funky colors. I need to get some fresh pics now with my new MRA vario windscreen anyway, so maybe some day i'll have pics that do them justice. I need to figure out a way to tighten up the shutting of them, for now i've been stuffing paper towels in the front and back under the lids to keep them tight hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Conedodger Posted February 17, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 17, 2016 Not much wrenching going on at the moment, more like storage mode. (There is a VFR in there, I promise!) There is another two car attached to the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RC1237V Posted March 31, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted March 31, 2016 Pretty crowded, so I have to move stuff out to do any serious work. The lights are so bright, it's tough to get a good picture with my low-end phone. The last three lights are covered by the opened door - when it's closed it's bright like an operating room, for doing major surgery on anything mechanical.

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted March 31, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted March 31, 2016 The 3rd gen looks good with that white wheel peeking out. It's been quite some time since I've seen a Porsche 928. Fun car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
