I keep my girlfriend in the garage. Worried now as I thought that was normal ! As long as you keep her inflated and hose her out every now and then that's quite normal. HAHAHAhaa you beat me to it...

thanks gentlemen.....the floor is an epoxy covering...I had to have a crew come in and do this coz it was a mess and there's a another space in the back...but I've done it before myself with Rust-o-leum EpoxyShield® Garage Floor Coating..takes a bit of preparation but the results are solid and excellent... www.rust-oleum.eu/cms/publish/content/showpage.asp?pageid=361

Yes...that tag on that lamp says GS750 circa 1977 and it's allegedly made from parts of that bike.....gfriend and I (and Dad did the welding) did something similar with all parts from a 1975 CB125S featuring rear shock, disk, countershaft sprocket and that little gear that's on the crank that drives the cam-chain...not as tidy but still cool in my mind... I'm thinking of doing one for and RDLC wondering what best parts to do it with... This one from Classified Moto: classifiedmoto.bigcartel.com/This one home made from CB125S bits collected from fleabay....it's started to rust a bit...noticed that I think that the Classified Moto was vapored then clearcoated.

Nice Grif, I had a Tamora back in the day, wish Id kept it... drove the cat n fiddle in a blizzard the day I picked it up, heading to my folks for Christmas... slowest ive ever done that road LOL My garage: I painted the floor with a special 1 part epoxy paint I bought when one of our big chain DIY stores closed down (bye bye Masters!) and added a cup of used glass beads from my blaster in each tin to get some grip, the surface is sooo much nicer now and works really well, in fact just the other week a mate (yes you LB!) reversed his towball onto it (the garage is down a slope) and it didnt even leave a mark, amazing stuff.

LC's looking good Jon👍 What type of ramp have you got there, this is something I need to invest in, getting too old now to be crawling around the garage floor on my hands and knees 🤔😀

Thanks m8! The ramp was one from ebay form a place in Newcastle, A mate collected it for me, else they would have charged for delivery and probably left it at the top of my driveway as its a bit steep, said mate had to lamp some bloke who was hogging the driveway, but thats a story for another day, lol! Anyway, circa 500 bucks about 2 years back. I went for the upgraded version that was longer and wider and took more weight as the the thin ones are shorter and dont offer as much 'table space' or room for a bike. I sold the front wheel chock and bought the roll-on version which is much better. What I should say is that the ramp transformed my workshop experience. no more scrabbling on the ground and lots of room to put the parts and the tools needed for the job.
