Marquez is incredible. That save, never mind attempting to race this coming weekend.

It's overall the most fun bike I have - and I can ride it all 4 seasons which is nice too. Around here, there are some groomed trails in the winter that are a blast to ride w/studded tires.

Yeah, those are great trails. Was just nearby, at Poto a couple weekends ago. Poto always feels more natural to me, while DTE is more "man made" obviously. Both are great.

It's a 50. Doesn't get much use here in Michigan.

Some other bikes shown .. first one is a Trek Checkpoint SL5/6. I picked this up used, to get some longer-mile gravel rides in for training (for MTB races). I flipped it a couple weeks later into the Checkpoint SL7 (next photo), which has a 12-speed cassette, better wheels and AXS/electronic...

Tubby - not sure I know her, but might know her if I saw her. TJ - been awhile, thought I would post a few quick photos. Nothing too much new with the garage itself, but some new bikes have made their way into it. I sold the Yamaha R6 and transitioned "retired racer" life with an Aprilia...

A rug place here, near Detroit. I forget their name off hand, but I mentioned it earlier in the thread I think.

Been awhile, but to answer your question - I used to always get rid of them. It was only a few years ago I started keeping them. A couple Shoei's and 5-6 Arai's over time make for good garage art!

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Hey all. Been awhile since posting here. Wanted to post a couple updates after catching up on GJ recently. I've held off on the second "mobile" workbench, as I haven't been able to justify the space it'll take up, versus the usage it'll get. Of course, winter is coming now - so I'm back...

Check out the thread on my build. Went through the process and love it.

dhubb - not at all, thanks for the drawing. Much appreciated. I love that concept. I may start out with just the table and see how it works to gauge what height modifications might be most useful. Thanks DMT. That's great info. 4" casters wouldn't be all bad then, if I replace the feet...

dhubbard - that's a nice idea. I believe the Gladiator height at the lowest setting is 29". Add wheels/casters to that and it's up to 33-34". That would work, although the lift at it's highest setting is 31". It's great for working underneath the bike, but for anything above and near the...

Did we just become best friends?? Excellent execution. As I went through the photos, it reminded me of the process I went through. Very detail oriented (and similar!). Absolutely love it. Great work.

Unreal how poorly that package was damaged. I would have at least gotten a credit, had I not returned it there on the spot, for the damage. I'd look at pursuing that avenue still ..
