Setting up a workshop...lease sorted, time to get busy!

[Zealadin]

Damn right, there used to be a great shop nearby that I always went too, but they where expensive (edit: and they went bust a few months ago).

Also sorry to kind of thread hijack, but since your knowledgeable of bikes, I posted in the mechanical section a worrying issue I'm having, any chance you could take a quick look incase you can shed any light on it

This should be it: http://www.600riders.com/forum/garage-mechanical-help/16999-gear-changing-issue.html#post214544

added my 2 cents worth.... Hope it helps.

Really appreciate that!
Haven't had a new bike before so it all seems like the end of the world if anything is wrong!

if it's any consolation, my gear box didn't feel great till about 16000km's, and now at over 30000 it feels smoother than ever!

 

[Zealadin]

Well this is definately a long term bike for me, so thats something to look forward too!

 

[04fizzer]

That's an awesome idea!

For those of us not upside down, post up pictures as you go! It'd be great to see it!

Let me know if you need a business manager :thumbup:

I just graduated with my masters degree in business here in the US.

But, Maybe I would be interested in moving down south!

Hope it works out well for you. I wish I had the time/money to do the same thing up here...

Mate, if you've got the place and are about to get stuck in cleaning up, you're going to need something to keep tje beers cold. My bar fridge is small but keeps stuff pretty cold. I'll just have to 'T' up with the old man and he can drop it here. It's in his shed at the moment.

If this was local I'd be a regular.

Little buddy, I will most definitely take that offer up! There will always be a cold beam and coke can in there for you for when you pop past!

as you can see, the front door is quite ugly, but we will fix this, and the floor also needs lots of work....cleaning, painting.

other good news, is that Gazza got on the phone yesterday to a few bike shops around town, where we know people, and every one of them has said that they will be sending us detailing work!

:rockon:

 

[Zealadin]

Awesome stuff, certainly looks like you got your work cut out for you, don't worry I'll be sure to visit (after all the hard works done!)

Could you just paint over the floor with a non-slip paint ?
