Sierra, there is no way to keep the wife happy with the way the Tobby Club is set up!I'm not OCD, but that would drive me crazy. . . . and, my wife would stroke out.

Reported.I got Yamaha MT-15, buy online at https://www.chinhin.com
This is about as cluttered as I'm allowed to let it get.The stable is light right now. Just sold my 2 dearest possessions and looking for something else.. before anyone comments... the garage is considered clean by my standards.

ok. so in my defense, that's a 2 car wide, almost 2 car deep garage. its cluttered but oddly functional. In the back left (facing) quarter, i've got everything in "stations" on wheels. i have a full woodworking table top station that contains a tablesaw, router, jointer, planer, chop saw, and all associated accessories to make custom cabinetry (i don't do custom cabinetry, but well, i like tools). I have a milling machine, lathe, CNC machine, sandblaster, bandsaw, drill press, belt sanders and a small assortment of metal related items, the front half of the shop is dedicated to motorcycles and car tinkering, all equipment set up with mobile vaccum capability. there is also a full custom electronics lab, in the far back corner where I normally build electronics prototypes for work, but lately people have been bringing me TVs and gaming boxes to fix blown capacitors and other crap.I'm not OCD, but that would drive me crazy. . . . and, my wife would stroke out.
isn't the S10 behind the red boat?
This is pretty empty for me and shows the bike I've not touched since last year, for the theme of the thread. (KTM 350 XCFW) The Tenere was outside for this shot and usually sits where the red boat was at.
i have the exact same drill press in a box waiting for restoration mine is the A.R. Williams branded version imported into Canada for the Canadian Military.. as much as i love the original motors on these old gals, i've started putting treadmill motors on everything.. 3-5hp DC motors with speed control and auto speed correction yay!

any chance i could swing some stuff over there to store for me? looks like you have a bit of room to spare. one day i'll go back to the minimalist approach, i'm insanely jealousI would like to share my working area & garage too.View attachment 85047View attachment 85048
Mr Relic, I probably already know the answer due to the number you’ve had………..how do you rate the bigger V-Strom, particularly in comparison to the Super Tenere. Reliability, handling, economy, tank range etc. Oh, and ground clearance, as I recall reading somewhere that they are prone to touching down if pushing on through the twisties. I have no idea if that is true, just something I read.These 2 Stroms are in my garage rite now....along with the Ten
2014 Strom 1000 #2 w 10k ( I sold the 1st 2014 at 30k)
& a 2013 650 Strom w 12k (I had a 2012 650 in 2016..soon after buying my 1st Tenere....a 2013 white one
Im now on Tenere #3....a 2014 blue one
Bought in 2019 with 10k...now has 30k
i see you too are a fan of "where's waldo" .. well done kind sirisn't the S10 behind the red boat?
For sure we can talk, a reasoable fee will make it happen! Regards.any chance i could swing some stuff over there to store for me? looks like you have a bit of room to spare. one day i'll go back to the minimalist approach, i'm insanely jealous

I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the bigger V-Strom, and particularly like the newest version.

So THAT's where I put the danged thing!isn't the S10 behind the red boat?
Mine's my GrandPa's Deltai have the exact same drill press in a box waiting for restoration...
i've started putting treadmill motors on everything.. 3-5hp DC motors with speed control and auto speed correction yay!
exactly. free treadmill = good motor, with speed controller and RPM meter. I have one on my antique milling machine which had a 2.5hp motor back in the 1940s when it was made and the thing barely notices when i crash the end mill into the tableMine's my GrandPa's Delta
Great idea about the motors and broken treadmills pop up for free on Craigslist all the time.
Wow, I would not know what to do with all of that real estate. My Garage is like 20% of yours (excluding the toys). Plus, no matter how clean or organized I make it, the wife hoards her garbage in the garage. Laundry, old clothing, pots and pans, books, yuck. I need a man cave / garage. Maybe I can rent an airplane hangar ?
