} Fantastic find! Love the look of the T500 and yours looks equally cool. Can’t wait to see the completed project and read your road...

Great looking shed. I wish we could build that big here without permit. We’re only allowed 100 sqft. As long as it doesn’t get...

Cool photo’s. No idea where that dark spot was. Yes I saw the solar flares too!

I always enjoy watch his stuff… I was a bit surprised at the results. Looks like liquid wrench was the winner after heat. I’ve...

Nothing like your bikes, but at a local motorcycle show last weekend, I saw a 350 Meteor in person. Looked like a fairly small bike -...

Thx. I was just thinking I could also put the front wheel into a wheel chock and twist the clamp into the correct orientation while...
