The craftsman is proud of what he has made, and cherishes it, while the consumer discards things that are perfectly serviceable in his restless pursuit of the new." Richard Sennett as quoted by Matthew B. Crawford in Shop Class as Soulcraft

Working on your own motorcycle is half of the fun...it's also half of the problem.

There is a reason cactus grows in my front yard. Long time residents say we have two kinds of weather: long periods of drought followed by short periods of torrential rain and floods.

And yes to your question. :IDTS: Things have gotten so bad because of my clutter that I have been using the porch table for my ultrasonic cleaner and the work table in the office for rebuilding the carbs I'm working on. I expect the hammer to fall anytime! :roll:
Bikes at present:

83 XL 600r with a 2004 XR650L engine
