After several delays,the shed,which shall be renamed "Hinkley Cottage",has finally matured!
Two weeks ago,took delivery of 4 
tons of road base,which was spread over 12'×16' at 2-4" deep.Shed built two days after that,exterior painting done yesterday.

Still need to paint trim (too cold right now) and get electrical ran for shop lights,air compressor,etc. before move in becomes official.Also need a wider back gate to get bikes into back yard!

I did do the floor up-grade,which is well worth it and one window in the back.Dream garage is on hold for now,hoping for home value to kick into overdrive.Hope to make it out to April's meeting,if the powers that be will let us.........
Hoping no one has sold out of beer!!

Nice “cottage” Steve! Not a problem with the collection at your disposal to hoist the front wheel to clear the skinny gate I suppose.

Nice start, luv what you've done with the palce:  You need insulation and heat plus some RAT posters for artwork and don't forget to call Jim Maharas, (303) 434-5962 for all your electrical needs.  Looks like there's even room for some of Dan's excess capacity.

Cool,thanks for giving me Jim's number Vince,must save that in contacts.Still undecided about a ramp.

Regarding Dan's mega excess,might have room for 2 out of his 18 herd of bikes.Actually,his BMW R1200 GS will be perfect where l am located!Good hearing from you,cheers!

Has Dillon turned into a "Ghost Town" yet?

It wasn't until today. Can someone explain why the Governor closed ski resorts in the open air but not casinos loaded with seniors sharing air, chips, cards, dice and bandit handles?

Congratulations, Steve.  How many people can say they have two Roulette Green Speed Triples (a 1050 and a 955) in their garage?  Well done!

It's good to hear that your bikes are now safe and sound and out of the elements.  When you and your garage are ready, we should plan a dedication ceremony sometime this spring/summer . . . . when it's safe to gather again.

As for beer, I was at the University Hills King Soopers (Denver) yesterday morning.  No toilet paper, hand sanitizer, household disinfectants and almost no over-the-counter cold/flu drugs . . . but plenty of beer!

Praise the heavens that motorcycling is an ideal way to "social distance" during this troubling time.

Now there’s a good question - mayhap the casinos provide more profits?!?

He doesn’t like skiing as he thinks wearing ski gear makes him look fat? 

I second the lobbyist theory.

Damn you, Wayne!  You beat me to the "Two Sheds Jackson" reference.

For you Millenials and Gen-Xer's our there who don't get the reference:

Martin; did you make a decision on the rear shocks that you want to put on your Bonnie?  EWB

I may have missed Martin's shock question.  Based on the recommendation of Bonnie-Bob, I put Hagen's on the rear and Progressive fork springs on the front on my T-100.  They they made an amazing difference as I recall for less than a Grand including Triumph dealer installation.

Norm; I have the same setup on my Newchurch, though I haven't installed the Progressive fork springs yet. (good shelter-in-place project). Denise has Progressives on both ends of The Queen's bike.  The vendor that I got my Hagons from went out of business in JUL of 2018 and I was wondering if Martin had found another.  I didn't realize that you  had a T-100.  EWB

Keep on ridin'...

Not yet, Wayne.  I spent last weekend removing the Happy-Trail side-racks from the Bonnie and re-installing the Renntec rear rack and top case that I had on it before, and took a short test ride to determine no head shake issues.  

I also discovered to my embarrassment that I did not need the shock adjustment tool I borrowed from Captain Bob after all - a 5mm hex wrench will turn those adjusters just fine.  DOH!
