I see you're very safety conscious in your new shop - - wearing a high visibility safety vest and sporting no less than five fire extinguishers!  But your shop is way too clean for me.  So what is it ?  A HondaKawaCati?
We get too soon oldt, and too late schmart!

itsa bitsa 2006/7 CBr1000RR with later pipes with ZX9R Tank i think it just looked right.MV Agusta front end re valved by WP Racing "Apparently" MV rear with forged marchesini wheel,not cheap but nice SV 1000rear light.My design of frame again bit complicated but looks trick.

Seat is being sculpted next week out of foam then covered Radiator mounted etc oh and hopefully the yolks triple trees should be back from machining soon.
I like a clean Workshop as i am quite clumsy from time to time and it makes it easier to find bits you dropped,

You can never be to carefull!! I lost my last house and workshop in a fire but it may be an idea to spread them around the workshop a bit eh!
Cheers Oz

My shop is a wreck, ask Milwaukee midget.   BUT, I have 3 fire extinguishers handy in various spots.   I've also lost a home to fire . . . . . . .
