Some of the discussion going on in the
Are you a collector thread has me thinking it's about time we got a thread for the gearheads.
I'm a motobike guy, but pretty amateur in the garage. I've done some work on cars, mostly fixing/replacing things, no real restoration work. I never work alone, because I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time, so I'm usually there to help someone else.
But I love being in the garage.
Work I've done:
Tear down and rebuild top end of airhead BMW engines
Pulled transfer case and replaced with a high gear version on '62 Land Rover
Complete dissassembly of bmw motorcycles
Replacement of struts and coil springs on early 90's toyota corolla
replace airflow meter in '93 Volvo
Brake pad replacements, brake shoe replacements on various vehicles
oil changes, air filter changes, etc.
I own and work on:
1992 BMW K75s(a)
1979 R100/7
1978 Honda GL1000 (actually, haven't done a thing to this yet)
I want to add projects all the time, but I don't have a garage. The bikes are scattered across friends garages at the moment. One of the big goals I have is to own a garage. I'd rather hang out in a garage than almost any other place. I'll keep these three motobikes, and get a car or truck as soon as I can. The old lady can drive the new, reliable car and I'll get a project car.
