Nice.  The tool box lives next to the fridge.

Must be great to be able to reach over and grab a wrench or a slice of cold pizza at the same time.

Several years ago, before we were married, it was my wife's idea to bring in my Monster for the winter.

I had it infront of the fireplace.

I'd still do it, but was sick of the gas smell. It eventually went away, but sucked for a few weeks

and

we use the fireplace frequently, so it wouldn't work out too well.

I lowered my headlight and gauges in the kitchen. As well as a tail chop and modified belt covers in my old kitchen.


When I walked in my newest apartment to look at it, my first thoughts were "My bike is going to fit perfect right there."

I do so enjoy that part

And you were all worried I would say "no". Silly boy.

Next winter, its my bike's turn to be in the kitchen though.  [thumbsup]

Been looking at loft condos downtown and I have found 3 that I would take in a heartbeat...
One is 4th floor right next to an old freight elevator which is right inside the handicap access rear entrance (i.e. there is a nice gradual ramp). It has a jack and jill bathroom and the "Jill" side would make a perfect storage and display location for both bikes with plenty of room for working on em.

One is first floor with a mezzanine and a perfect spot to park 2 bikes under the stairs leading up that combined with the 18 foot ceilings makes for a fun little bachelor pad!

And the third one literally is a former machine shop that has been quartered into 4 condos...ground level...each one has a garage door leading into it...think Nicolas Cage's loft in Ghost Rider...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

That's right, a valve adjustment in the kitchen.  That is all.

You've just gotta find the right woman Brian.

It doesn't normally live there, it's just a temporary residence.

Picked up shims and valve seals today.  Time to start putting it back together.

We own a 67 Triumph Bonneville and the other day my wife says, "When is the Triumph moving back into the living room?"
I answer, "When I get the ignition fixed and it is running again."  To which she answers, "Well hurry it up and get it back in there." 

The moral of this little story is; we don't have a big enough kitchen for the Triumph so it has to live in the living room.  And marriage ain't so bad if you marry the right woman.   :)
