Garage
Last night I did some digging in my garage to retrieve some motorcycle fairings I had stashed away. I'm learning how to repair them so wanted to take a closer look at what I had and what lay ahead as far as repair needs.

The 4th photo before shows the replacement post I made (left side) using a mold in the Plastex kit. Now I don't have to use a cable tie. BTW, that fairing is an aftermarket one made of fiberglass. The factory units are all poly carbonate.

My garage is cluttered way beyond my preference so I'm always trying to re-organize and improve. I threw away a bunch of empty boxes I had been saving and that alone helped.

I really need to finish the storage "facility" in my side yard but not sure that will happen until it cools off end of year.

So this morning I went back in to continue what I started last night - then took a break for the finish of Le Tour - then took a bike ride - then back to the garage - in sweltering conditions now. But having had a productive day so far I was OK with it. I downloaded a couple Pink Floyd concerts from '72 onto a flash drive and had that playing the whole time so that was pretty awesome.

I have (3) Interceptors all the same year and model. My first one was this yellow one that has been in hibernation for over 10 years. I have all the fairings for it. I also have some fairings for the two blue ones plus a set of upper white fairings I bought off eBay if need be.

I really don't know how this will end up. I know I will have at least one good Interceptor and am shooting to have two. But maybe it will be 3. Depends a lot on part sourcing.

Aside from all that - I am pleased to announce that today.....I finally put the dolly I bought from Lowes over 2 years ago under that big arse generator in the garage.

Been wanting to do that for some time and today was the day!
