I took have a weakness for British Bikes.
In the past having a 1964 Norton Commando,1966 Triumph Bonneville which I bought as a "Basket Case". Later a 1969 Triumph 750 Bonneville. The Norton is especially desirable.
Also, British Autos, But I will stop before I get Flagged😮

GaryLC, I had a 1958 Huntmaster back in the 60's but it never looked that good.
I'd swap everything in my collection and workshop to be able to own it again.
Great memories, I hope you enjoy riding your beautiful bike.
Cheers Colin.

If I keep going JB
I may have to hang my boats from the Ceiling🙄

Great Addition to your Conservatory Gary👍👍👍

Perhaps if our work spaces, research area, and storage resembled the library where everything has it’s place, then our “collections” would be more appreciated by others in our homes. Only somethings have their place in my shop but other items, are just clutter.

My wife is proud of my work and when we get out to the water she is more than willing to share information with the public gathering around to watch me sailing my various scratch built vessels.

She just doesn’t like “My Mess” scattered around though. Dirty clothes go in the hamper, not on the floor; books go back on the shelf not left out; there should be order not clutter.

Happy wife is a happy life some say. So, I am a better person when considering my partner, friend, guide, counsel, and so much more. She is a gift 🎁 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, wrote Solomon in Proverbs 12. I am blessed because she is in my life.

You've made a lovely job of the bike rebuild Gary. I dont have room in my garage for model boats as it's got 4 motorbikes in there. One needs to go though to be replaced by my Lambretta which resides at my mother's.

A hoarder has stuff but doesn't know where it is... A model has stuff BUT knows it's here somewhere.

Like Trev, I have the whole house to myself, the only problem is you have more space to fill😂 (think I've reached capacity now though😁) Work areas are only this messy when building something, otherwise everything is away in cupboards. Having no permission required to use 'aerial storage' is a bonus as well😁

I did have room for a lounge 'ornament'. I also have the proper workshop downstairs, which is just as bad. I think most modellers are compulsive hoarders of everything which 'might come in handy one day' and most of our work areas look the same,- a small central bit of bench, surrounded by mayhem😁

All of my finished boats, projects, parts, plans, kits etc are in my garage workshop. They share space with my 61 Studebaker Hawk plus assorted lawn equipment. I have to be careful when painting to not get overspray on the Hawk or finished models. My plan is to, hopefully next year, to clean up, seek and or dispose of some of the unused equipment in the garage, rework the wall across the garage from the bench with shelving to get more finished model storage and better floor storage on the floor…and I’m going to finally get off my rear end and get a cheap car cover for the Hawk to keep her clean. The car sits about 6 feet from my bench…😮
