FFS. I need a new hobby.

Back in '81 I bought a Honda 350, the 4 cylinder version. Got it in a garage sale. Seat, tires and exhaust rotted off. Paid a wopping 35 dollars for it.

Replaced the seat, tires and replaced the exhaust with drag pipes. Yes, very loud. 30 minutes of riding was about all I could stand.
 
When the times comes to replace it, the next bike will probably be a BMW GS. I got a few day rides on one a few months ago in the Sierra Nevada - fantastic machine!

My perfect ( to me) two bike garage. GS water boxer for one up fun, and the Wing for touring with Mama.

Thought this was a cool thing. Old school torque wrench tester. Unfortunately no longer usable because it looks like somebody tried to unbolt it from the wall and failed and now it's loose.

I had never seen one. Socket lifts the weight against gravity and the red arm records the peak torque applied.
