What's in your garage?

[850 Combat]

I start to get carpal tunnel flare up wuen using a screw driver a lot. I like a little electric screw driver for removing and installing screws and small nuts and bolts. An electric drill is too bulky and powerful. I don't break them free or final tighten them with the electric screw driver, but I do like to run them in and out with it.

I really like my allen sockets, ball geaded and straight. The electric screw driver is nice on those too.

I like to work in thin cotten gloves and FRC coveralls, but I often forget to, or I assume a job is too small for me to get dirty. maybe you don't need FRC, but that is what I have.

Dustoff is also the inhaler of choice for idiots who want to fry their brain here in Billings. Very popular with the Native American crowd. Make sure you have some ventilation when using it, theres more then air in it.

Unless you work on lawn mowers, Harleys, and other agricultural equipment, you don't need the SAE (inch size stuff) at all. Throw it in a box or drawer for those occasions.

[briyenkieth]

nobody mentioned the humble test light!

[GS650GL-1983]

Whats a "colourtune"? and what about a rubber mat on a wall to throw tools against without any damage.

Read through this thread, I still have no clue what this thing is, or what it does. Could someone please shed some light on a newb? Thanks!

Edit: Did a google search and figured it out. Pretty neat, but pricey. Wonder if my friend would go half's with me...

My wife said today, it looks like a Motorcycle factory...

Looks a lot like my stable Dale.



From L - R.

'78 GS1000E The Red Hotrod gettin' ready for the trip to Utah.

'80 GS1100E with the exotic VM29 carb rack hanging off the back. Now there's something you don't see every day! Bruce's red carbs look good no matter where they're hangin'!

'80 GS1100L awaiting a chain replacement. I have all the parts. She's a low priority right now.

In the driveway is a ratty old GS750 parts bike, and my wife's car. No room for either in the garage!


You can't see her. But way up front under cover is the trophy bike. '78 GS1000C. Made famous in Motorcycle Classic's Magazine.

I never really understood

why someone would need so many motrocycles.




OK So now I do

[jwhelan65]

Jim, that's an OLD picture! The dragbike in the trailer sits where those 2 trash cans are in this pic & there are 2 1150 motors in front of it right by the door. I had to put all the quads back in the trailer so the 9.20 bike is back in the garage. Ray.

[Billy Ricks]

Looks about like my garage.

[C.V.]

Nobody mentioned feeler guages yet? Cant do those valve adjustments wihout 'em.

[rapidray]

What do feeler gauges have to do with "What's in your garage?" Maybe you need "What's in your toolbox?" Ray.
