Couch in the office that sleeps pretty well.  The little Honda ia a 66 (ish).  But unfortunately it's more decoration than bike.  It ran years and years ago.  It's my brother-in-law's.  Brought it over a couple years ago to "look to see if we could make it run again."  But the tank is corroded and collapsed from the inside out.  Few other issues with it too.  He never chased parts for it so I just wipe it down occasionally and let it look good setting there.

Yeah, the other side of the building is "car" side.  Two post lift on that side and another bay.  Small wood shop back in the corner over there too and the office.  That side isn't nearly as nicely laid out as this side.  That side is where things like the press and welders and buffers and other things that make a mess are.  It's the real "work" side of the work shop.

There better be a fridge over there! 

I love the old pumps and air station, nice touch!

Of course there's a fridge !

But it's a little one in the office.  Another big original Shell pump in the office and the little fridge got a kit applied to it that makes it look like a baby gas pump too.  I need more pics....

I really love it.........I'd never get back to the real 'house' if I had that shop.  The honda looks like a 160cc. maybe mid-60's, not sure it it's a 'dream' or sport model, but a great nostalgia 'bit' sitting there.  Wish you had some 'before' pics to see how good the clean-up really was.  har.  spyder

Really Don. I can get 2 cars - 2 trucks, 2 bikes - but 2 riding mowers?

[Spiderman]

Thanks Jorge.  It's not as pretty as your Harley place.  But it does all I need it too .

Don you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too modest. I've been in your new digs and it makes my garage seem like one of those Home Depot storage sheds

Wowwwweeee Donny Boy! What an awesome garage! Your Are my Hero!!!

[Twolanerider]

Stuck in Kansas city all day.  I miss my shop....

[Dan_Lockwood]

Don, I'm very happy for you, nice place...

I "had" a nice place once when I lived in Michigan, built my dream work shop.  Then I moved to the St. Louis area and ended up with a 1/4 acre and just a three car garage.  I make do at this point.

Yours looks like a great place to hide away on those got to get away moments.  I like your art work hanging around the shop too.

Someday I'll have to take a weekend ride with the wife and come back down your way.  I've got an old girlfriend from high school that lives in Racket on Truman Lake and I've ridden down there a few times to visit with her and her husband, I'm probably not that many more miles away from you at that point.

Anyway, I hope you're home today and can get your shop fix so you feel better.

Later dude.

Thanks Dan.  Actually out in the shop right now.   ESPN playing.  Beverage open.  Sandwich here somewhere and the dog passed out on her pillow.  I may even go change the oil on the bikes later.  Or I may just stretch out on the couch, watch a game and think "screw work today."

I was thinking just last week of heading your way sometime this spring too.  Doing a weekender up through the wine shops or getting some good beer and wine at Hermann.  Maybe can drag Travis along or get one of the Jeffs or Brian down from Illinois to meet in the middle.

Keep me in the loop on a winery trip if it happens.

Will do Dan.  I just checked and have lost track of your phone.  I'll PM you mine so we can swap for when we're headed each other's direction.
