The worst part is having your bike down longer than you expect when you want to ride .

It's not much so far, but I'm stoked so I have to post pics. Garage is a mess, but there's enough room for me to move around.





Is that a grill?...... or a parts table.

j/k. Looking good so far. As mentioned your setback will only be a memory soon.
