Why I have done little on my bike projects

Post by Flatline »

Some of you will know of my 750ss Ducafe project to turn it into a café racer

Some will also remember that I have quite a bit of Benny's old bike which I am rebuilding with Vfr800 single sided swing arm

Some may not know that I also have the major parts for another vtr project with ssswing arm and under seat exhausts

My little workshop is now no longer big enough

It just so happens that one of my daughters is now in need of her own bedroom, ie my loft space or games room as I like to put it

So I have to remove this:

and build this:

Good practice with the welder!!

As I said, its my games room, so I need another one!

This is the shed at the back of my much too small workshop...ahah!

Image

Chop down the tree:

And start building!

Er...... no. This happened during the storms a month or so ago:

So, having sorted them, now we can start to build!!

Once I get the new workshop built, I can get on with finishing the Ducafe

So now you know :D

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Basically renovating our home from top to bottom in between holding down at a full time job. You have no spare time for nothing, so I can understand why you've not progressed further with the Ducafe lately,
