Not sure if this really qualifies as a shed given that it isn't big enough for any real tools. I want to sell the bike but need to exterminate the spiders before I'm game to touch it. The real shed is a room indoors and is embarrassingly tidy - compared to some others here. |

(looks '70s, bigger than 500 and European, rear subframe could be Triumph??? - I like the clip-ons and quarter faring :thumbup:) Bill |

I was a bit concerned about the spiders. Last time I looked there were a lot of Redbacks in residence. These are dangerous, the bites (so I'm told) are very painful but unlikely to be fatal except perhaps to small children. Even then, there's a readily available anti-venom. A closer look today while getting the mower out shows that daddy longlegs have taken up residence. These are completely harmless to humans but hunt and kill redbacks. I moved a few boxes around but not a redback to be seen. The bike is a Rickman CB750 Honda. |

Everyones got a junk area yes? Im just fortunate that I have more space than the average bear to fill. Here's my dirty secret... Its the room above my old workshop. Shut the access hatch and pretend its not there worked fine :D ... Meanwhile, about 10ft below, people always commented how neat and organized it all looked. If only they knew the horror that lurked above... I say old, we've moved to a new place and thats got even more space to fill but currently the main machine room to be has a dirt floor and there's currently a area of the open hangar that my wife hates which has everything stacked up in it while we get the workshops and storage sheds sorted. But thats fine, she coudlnt get her car under cover anyway as the jcb is mid engine rebuild blocking the entrance (and a 3ciii with a dead engine is a very very immobile object to say the least), and our two vintage tractors are blocking the alternative one. And some of my junk is still in the loft of the other place :) |

Why is it always motorcycles in peoples junk areas? Mind you I've got a 750 Yamaha in my attic - getting that engine up there using the tiny ali loft ladder and minute hole in the ceiling was "entertaining". There were certainly a few moments when I pondered if an half inch floorboard would be enough to stop an engine dropped from around 8 foot from becoming part of my dining room. I'd post pictures of mine, but it's recently been tidied and tbh is more an example of a machinery jigsaw puzzle than anything else. |
