the race deck flooring is pretty nice looking especially when new. It kinda noisy when you walk on it- klomp-klomp-klomp. I will probly go back to epoxy because i melted a bunch of spots while welding

Thanks for the info.

I have the epoxy waiting for warmer weather to apply.  I sure like the look of the race deck.

The epoxy will be better for me with clean up and touch up.  Too much mud/sand to deal with off the road into our new house with the snow and new construction.

There was a layer of sand/gravel under the cement so i used a shop vac to clean out a channel over to the cabnet area.  drilled a hole in the crete and ran hyd line out to controller. mine is air/hydraulic. by the way this is my 500th post! only took 3 yrs

Congrats on the 500 post!!!! I've really enjoy your post and not just because I have a nana, I'm a contractor and am also a boater. Nope, it's the pictures of the fine ladies poolside I most enjoy.

I'll trade crews! Mine are better for toting 2X's but they have to have 10 snack breaks a shift.

Well, Renea took her plants outside this morning and plans to put them in the gardens this evening.  I, on the other hand, gave in to this beautiful Alabama weather, took four hours of vacation time this afternoon, and took Thumper for a short 200 mile ride.  Now that I've had my fix, I gotta get the bugs off of Thump.  Worked up the nads and put her on the lift.  Wasn't too bad.  She's a big Girl tho'.

Looks better than those plants on it

Hey Henry,
how about a close up pic of how you have Thumper strapped down
to the lift in the front?  thanks

Nope........but now that I really look at the picture, there is that illusion.  I was  when I elevated the lift.  did it one stop at a time until I was sure nothing was going to contact the motorcycle.

Yessir!  I was more  than a cat in a room full of rockin' chairs when I put her on the lift.

Howdy Warren,
Shoot!  She's already down and off.  I used soft ties around the handlebars hooked to cinch straps into eyebolts on the lift.  Soft ties were placed around the the bars only at the point where they protrude from the fairing cap........leaving the clutch, brake, throttle, and idle lines outside the loops.  Cinch straps were drawn just enough to remove slack.  If the front wheel is all the way in the vise to the stop, and secured well, the motorcycle is stable.  Straps are there for Thumper's safety and mine.

The best way (i my opinion) to tie the bikes down on the lift is to run the sft strap around the highway peg mount or the floor board mount. I do this many times a day. The benefit is that the straps are down low and out of the way when working on the bike.
