Wow ! You are quite an artist, Dana.
There are galleries here in Syracuse that would probably be interested in your works.
And who knows, since the Guggenheim hosted 114 classic motorcycles in their "Art of The Motorcycle" exhibit in 1998, maybe they would be interested, too.
....and your tool box is one to die for.
danathomas - Two questions:
1. Where in New England? I'm in Downeast Maine (duh...)
2. Love the racer! The body looks a lot like an old Electrolux vacuum cleaner body. Close?

I was just reviewing the list of bikes the curators of the "Art of The Motorcycle" chose for the exhibit, and it is difficult to understand how they managed to leave out the XS650, when they included an '89 Yamaha VMax.

I'm thinking that my life goal is now to bring as many of these bikes as I can into my living room.
I've got the Triumph Bonneville.
I could bring the RD350 up when I am done.
Could fit a few more, I'm sure...................got to get rid of the furniture.................

I love it !
Not really art bit not purely functional either.
The speed change lever on my mill broke, so today I was looking at a ZXR250 conrod and thought it might work. By pure fluke the H and L end up circled by the little end. Now I know what to do when the other one breaks.

Painted XS2 parts hung so the paint can cure.
Art is in the eye of the beholder.

Yup, there's that art gallery that someone keeps tryin' to pass off as a garage.
What do you call a man with no arms or legs hanging in a gallery...................Art. 
What do you call 2 arms and 2 legs hanging in a Gallery...................pieces of Art......

Good parts hanging rack.
And if there is a gust of wind, you'll have a musical instrument.
Yesterday I had the oppprtumity to try out the camera in this new iPhone, my first smartphone. Went to the vintage drag races at the Nostalgia Dragway in S Butler NY, a tiny 1/4 mile track out in the country .
There was a swap meet, too.
I picked up this small arbor press as garage art, but then realized it will be quite useful in the shop. Made in Wisconsin.
