Talking What's the stereotypical Pelican Garage have in it?

Okay. It seems that if you spend even a little bit of time here on PPOT, you can figure out that the "cliche" or "stereotypical" Pelican garage has a:

1. A mid-seventies, 1974 or 75 preferred Honda CB series in some state of transformation to a cafe bike.

2. A Ducati 900 SS, carbureted, 1998 or older.

3. Some version of pre-1990 Porsche 911 that is pretty slow, but 'that's not what it's all about."

4. Some antique, out of tolerance or out of order mechanical device that has been ingeniously transformed into "man furniture" of some sort.





What else is in there?

Does a 1978 BMW R100RS count instead of a CB? (Now the fairing and suitcase frame are removed, so that counts as a step towards cafe bike)



Is so, check #1, #3 and #4 (butterfly injection module used as a paperweight).

No Duc though, so #2 is missing

Don't forget the opossum. Every one has one of those, right?

By the way, did you know that I have seven 1/2" Craftsman wrenches? Between 3/8" and 5/8" I have over thirty wrenches. I wondered how that could happen until I needed a 16mm wrench a couple weeks ago. $9.00 for the single wrench or a little over $20 for a set, so I bought the set.

A 1930 Rudge Whitworth Grand Prix Ulster. No oil stains, got rid of the Aston Martin. Oh, wait the Rudge leaks oil, never mind.

A 55' 190 SL.

Everything else was sold off when I moved to TX from NY, the Starions, the TR7, the 3000-GT.

As a matter of fact just thinned the herd a bit more 10 minutes ago.

The Bronco II beater just acquired a new owner today.

So down to 4 vehicles total.

Which leaves one garage bay empty for........?

Yes! I hate it when one of the wheels spins off when I'm dragging it around.
