I love my garage.
It’s where I am relaxed. It’s where I’m creative. Problems are identified and corrected. Time stands still…yet there’s never enough of it. As much as I love riding motorcycles, I truly enjoy caring for them.
I’m helping a friend bring a 1980 Moto Guzzi back to life. For the last 50 years I’ve only owned and worked on bikes from Japan. The Italian’s do things differently, but I’m learning and adapting. It’s fun to learn new things. But even more fun is having the opportunity to teach my friend how to care for his 40 year old bike…I’ve awoken something him in that has been asleep, and now he is alert. It’s awesome.
Next on my stand is my Ducati ST in the back left corner…I need to adjust the valves on the desmodromic valve train…and I look forward to learning that.
I look forward to retirement in the coming years, where I can leave the corporate world (that has allowed me to indulge in my passions) and work in my happy place.
What is your nirvana?
