First bikes in a row...

After my Van (Volkswagen T4) was packed with the last stuff and had transported them to the garage, i had enough time to get the bikes in their position.

I found an old sign that fits perfectly on the wall.

In the next days i will build the platforms for the bikes. Will be four platforms made of good german wood.

Wake Up. Get out. It's Sunday......

Today, i will get my work bench up into the garage and some other Stuff i need there.

Pictures will follow as soon as made.

I wish you a good sunday with your families and bikes !

New Home and a day of torture....

Hello,

Yesterday the lessor gave me the keys for my new garage after we did the contract.

TODAY was a great day, although it was very frantic, caused by much traffic, less time and a bad schedule.

I woke up in the morning and the first thing i did was laying on my couch, checking some stuff in the internet.... over hours....  Then i rented a trailer for about 2 pm. My mistake, i arrived too late... at 2.30 pm. With the trailer i drove to my friends house were my last garage was. I had to wait for him, to get my bikes on the trailer. The mounting is not easy if you are on your own, especially with a heavy weight champion like my honda cb 500 four. Four cylinders up the trailer..... great job.

So it was 3.30 pm when i got both bikes almost mounted and 4.14 pm when they were mounted finally.

The SR was very greatful ... light as a butterfly she was standing very stiff. But .... the honda.... made me cry.

After i went off the yard, the Honda tipped to the left against the SR. That shocked me to the balls.

So the next attempt to get the fat ass fixed was more succesful. It was 4.38 pm at the time.

At about 5.00 pm ( WHEN I ACTUALLY HAD TO BE BACK AT THE TRAILER RENT ) i arrived at the new barn and unloaded the trailer with the help of a by a so far unknown neighboor. Thanks by the way... !!! Great guy !!

My trailer rent called me when i was closing the big gate of my barn. I told him to be late. he was unfortunately sick of me.

Finally i was back the the trailer rent at 6.00 pm ................ but hey... what's an hour in a lifetime??

NEW BIKE PICTURES AT THE "BIKE" ITEM.

Thanks for your interest.

Honda CB 500 four

Isn't that a nice bike?

And the girl is okay also....

Thoughts.

Now, after a good while of riding motorcycles i came to the point that modern motorcycles just as these racing bikes shown at the gp are not the kind of motorcycles i would buy myself. On the other hand side, i am thinking about why people wanna ride those crotch rockets. Is there any reason besides the speed?
In my opinion it is a very uncomfortable sitting over hours on such a bike. Plus the very warm and tight suit you ve got to wear, if you want the maximum protection. Means to me, sittin' on an expensive rollercoaster sweattin' your balls off. I don't want to attack someone with my opinion but i want to say it clear..... there is nothing better, than riding an old thankful motorcycle, wearing an open helmet, feeling the wind and having enough time to inhale the landscape around you. The smell of gasoline and the sound of a short pipe of your one or two cylinder four stroke machine brings the ultimate feeling of a free ride.

Which ride....

.... do you prefer?

Got it?

Moonman

Biltwell Metalflake Helmet.

The green apple suits very well !!

The mirrored bubblevisor makes you look lilke a moonman ridin through the atmosphere.

Not that cheap though.

Home is comin' ....

There's a hole in the wall. The gate is about to get installed. The upper etage that u can see is a kind of an attic for bulky stuff that is not required at time.

I really hope the landlord calls me this week, telling me the shit is done and i can settle in.

The size is four times bigger, than the garage i was workin' in till now.

And how the pointers sisters once were singing : "I'm so excited..!!"

Yamaha SR 500 "Annie"

Moinsen,

habe mir mal 'ne neue Umbauvorrichtung gegönnt.......

Eine SR aus dem Jahre 1981. Sie hat zugegeben einige Startprobleme die ich erstmal zu beseitigen habe, bevor ich den Umbau beginne... aber das ein oder andere musste ich einfach sofort umsetzen.

Ach ja...... und meine Halle beziehe ich wohl Mitte diesen Monats. Da hat sich auch schon was getan.
