Ray: Invisible engine stand indeed! That was Suzanne's idea. She likes the feel of those great big Ambo jugs and isn't afraid to wrap her arms around them.
I'm thinking of cutting the front wall and making it drop on pulleys like a drawbridge so I can get bigger bikes in here.
Then you could dig a moat around your shop and fill it with rubber snakes. Or chickens. Rubber chickens They're harder to swim through.
The Harley won't fit through the damn door. I didn't think ahead. Everything else we pushed in here came through once the handlebars were removed.
I remember once building a Triumph chopper in my basement, 15" over springer front end, had to drag it up the stairs to the living room to put the front end on.
Oh, on the subject of shop rags. Be very careful. Most of the rags available around here in bundles are manmade fabrics and will scratch the crap out of paint and polished surfaces. aarrrgggg
I've always been leery of red shop rags and painted surfaces. I think of all the metal chips and turnings that are wiped up with them. Even the new ones are pretty rough. After my white cotton T-shirts have enough stains and holes in them they get recycled as polishing rags. I have some fine finishing polish I can send you that should make it look like new, let me know. You can use your own T-shirt, though.
