What's in your garage?

[susukeegs]

Thought this was a good time to renew this thread from Steve....In the home reno thread I posted pics of our recent house reno,,,which lasted 6 months..major changes. Got some changes in the garage too...

The tank on the left looks like a perfect match for my side covers ;-)

It's what's left of my 83 1100e....friend crashed it.






An hour before the crash...

Y'all seem to have forgotten the most basic item. Before you can show what's in your garage, ya gotta have a garage!

Well any proper garage does...lol

My tanks are up high on a shelf. Don't want anything dropping on them. 👍

.....

Well, that would require having garage, and having shelves... and I suppose having a bike then having only the tank.
Er, um, well, maybe having a bike and then getting another tank .... yah, why is it that you guys have extra tanks...?

I have extra seats, from getting upgrade/replacement and keeping the original. (no need for picture of cluttered stack of boxes in corner.)

my 83 blue tank is off my crashed bike... my black one is off an 82-750e parts bike and the Dr650 tank is my stock tank... I put on an after market acerbic

I picked up a tank, front fender, and tail piece years ago, at a great price.
The plan was to have them painted and replace the ones on my GS, but it hasn't happened yet.

Ed's Garage - Raiders Man Cave

Alright, you guys know how I love to post pics of my garage...and I happen to have two tanks removed from my "T's".



Here's how my riding "T" currently sits. I need to remove and rebuild the forks and I have a new ignition switch to install. I'm putting off the GS1100 dual fork upgrade until I can get them cleaned.



It's a tight squeeze but I've got the riding mower wedged in there pretty good.



And....here's the reason I am delaying my work -- TKR (Total Knee Replacement).



I'm having the left knee done as well...only 4 weeks in between surgeries...call me crazy but I only have 12 weeks of short-term disability before my employer can let me go! It's been just over two weeks and I've graduated to a cane from the walker.

Best hope for your knee replacements!!!
I have a lady friend who's just too scared to have her knee done. WAY overdue, she rather limp around with a cane.

[GSXR7ED]

Thanks Bill,

I had both knees scoped during military career (2001 & 2004) for torn medial meniscus.

My current job of 17 months was the culprit for my decision. Walking 13-15K steps, M-F and only the wknds to recover was too much for me to endure.

I'll take more pics of my garage as I have acquired a Kobalt rolling toolbox!

Ed, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Waaay back in the 90s my father had both knees done at the same time. He didn't want to have to do two recoveries - he wasn't one who liked to sit still. It really changed his life for the better.

[GSXR7ED]

Thanks for the kind words Glen.

I can't imagine having no strength in both knees while doing the simple things at home like going to the toilet and taking a shower. That's why I have to heal the new knee and bring power back to my thigh so I can repeat the healing process.

I'm slowly starting to learn that lounging around and being cooped up at home can be depressing. I asked my wife if we could go out to dinner after my first visit to the Dr. That was a painful experience! He put pressure on my joint to get it to -4? on the exam table. The aspirin I've been taking has prevented swelling in my ankle.

Sorry for being long-winded but "yes!", this is a life changing experience. An improved Quality of Life.
