What is the name of the color on your bike? It looks good.

I think it's called dark blue pearl if I recall.

Yeah the snow can be a real bugger, especially in vehicles that aren't equipped. On the bright side, only 2 or 3 more months and it ought to be clearing up again.

I'm campaigning for a bike garage. Yours is nice. Put your helmet on to ride to the garage. Were you expecting the worse? The snow is treacherous.

Sounds like a nice plan for your cave. I have a leather couch a friend is giving me for my cave. Haven't picked it up yet.

The floor is painted with a 2 part epoxy floor paint. You first etch it with an acid product than apply the epoxy. Call around to a few paint stores, it's readily available, you can even google it.

You noticed. I think you're the only one. I started out down the drive in the front thinking this is a bit crazy, had visions of the wheels going right and me flying left, so I went and strapped on the lid. haha.

haha i noticed the helmet, too.

i'll admit i've put mine on to ride from the driveway into the shed, but that's only because it's easier to put it on my head than to hold it and ride, and i'm too lazy to pull the bike in and walk back for the helmet.

i like the shop.

checklist of essentials...let us know what you have and don't have.

beer fridge
t.v.
dvd player
comfy couch/la-z-boy
work bench
tool box
stack of mags (bike, car, sports illustrated, playboy)

Moving Harley a short distance is not to bad. Snow covered feet trying to brace on a shiny concrete floor can be a bit scary.
