... that I have TOO MANY of them! I used to think I'd use a FIFO method, but I'm too easily distracted by stuff that comes into the collection to stay focused!

I'm afraid the winter's not going to be long enough.

The vast part of my collection and inventory are dispersed over 4 locations as close as an hour apart and as far as 600 miles apart. The problem is road salt! Who wants to transport a clean bike and subject it to that nasty stuff? Worse than riding on a Florida or CA beach area......

I have more then enough projects around, but my shop isn't heated (space heaters only) or insulated and it is just a little to chilly out there to get any real work done. The other reason is my shop is a wreck, it has never been this bad it will take me weeks to put it back together to the way it was earlier last year. Took some photos today when I was out there trying to get something done, take a look for yourself,

I probably have enough projects to keep me occupied for the next several winters. Last winter I did 8 complete overhauls and 2 so far this winter. Keeping the workshop organized and keeping consumables stocked seem to be my biggest challenges. Yesterday (New Years Day) I started a massive "reorganizing the basement" project and it will be in disarray for a week or so, but hopefully for the greater good of the workshop.

I am glad that I have a nice warm basement shop to work in, even if it is a bit cramped and does dual duty as a wood working shop.
