exactly the same thing happened to me, been thinking it all morning. went for a ride this morning, found that a zip hoody over my leathers really makes it warmer, so even in this weather, its great fun
Put a dehumidifier in my new (wet) garage in an attempt to dry out the blocks so I could do more painting inside and out. was pulling something like 15L plus per day from it and dried out the blocks a treat. Not an issue now the gutters are affixed. Put a go faster stripe around there too. One more wall left to paint now and I can get the bike inside. Moved the trailer for the second pic.
One thing I did purchase for the new mancave was a Råskog trolley from Ikea for my polishes / lubes etc.
It was an industrial 16amp one from a tool hire place. £60+ vat for the week. It was meant to run from a 13amp socket but kept tripping it. I have access to a blue 16a plug so used that.
15L is a lot. Garage is bone dry now. Managed anotger good coat of weatherproof Sandtex on the outside too. Wrapped a large dust sheet around the garage to allow a steady stream of air to dry the paint and in the event of it raining. It was like a bloody balloon! Sorted it though.
Have the same in my garage for valeting equipment. Works a charm and you can wheel it around, not the cheapest solution but does hold up against the work
Done nothing to my bike, but I've just made a contemptuous offer of £299.00 for this helmet kindly recommended by @exuptoy . They're advertising for £425.00: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bell-Str...OSS/163921407646?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 There are other cheaper on Amazon/eBay, but not in my size. I've also queried the date of manufacture cos I know they are an 'older' helmet.
So I’ve started stripping the titanium and upgraded parts off this heap before it’s scrapped, you forget how much you e done until you have to take it all off
Always sad to see a bike being stripped. I hope it works out for you financially. Fortunately, there will be good demand for most of your goodies!
To be honest @nigelrb its done it’s job and now I’ve looked at it properly it’s a bit of a state. I’m keeping all the upgrades to go on the next one when I can ride again.
