During all the house projects I was still sneaking in a few hours a week to keep the two wheel projects going.
Here are a few progress photos of the RGV.

She is a continual project and a lot of fun to ride.
I chose the lucky strike livery as my first bike way back in 1994 was a lucky strike RGV. I feel like a naughty teenager every time I ride it.

Since the major projects on the house are done I have had a chance to focus on the garage.
First step was to line the ceiling which drops alot of dust.

I repaired all the battens that were damaged during asbestos removal and put some cement sheet up.


Made a significant difference to dust and lighting.
As you can see in the pics I also painted the walls and ceilings with some extra colour to match the outside of the house.
Thanks to this forum I had inside knowledge on how to achieve crisp lines.

We had the car garage epoxy sealed with a three coulour flake.
I wasn't prepared to do the whole workshop area as the cost, and the thought of trying to look after it put me off.
I like the fact that I the motorcycle area floor is low maintenance and if I spill something on it it's no big deal.

I like a clean work area, and as we walk through this area after parking the cars I wanted it to be tidy.
One of my bug bears is cables and extension leads everywhere.
All my charge leads are run through the bench and I just pull the one I need out a little and plug it in.
All leads are switched through one switch on the side of the bench.

The last photo also has a repurposed 3 phase isolator that is used to switch on my compressor.
The hose reel is under the bench in the corner.
The compressor is in a store room behind the reel.

This room is the secret to keeping everything looking tidy Inthe workshop area.

Some more pics of the painted area.

Also scored a TV for the workshop.

I thought about building a timber fence but the thought of painting and maintaining it put me off pretty quick.
We had a company install a powder coated aluminium fence with a large gate to allow access down the side.
Very happy with the quality, they did a great job and it was worth the expense.
