Greetings from Lubbock

[TheRoss]

I'm new here. I am an English teacher and I work on BMW motorcycles in my spare time. Here's my shop:

These signs I removed from the buildings myself. After making a deal with the owners of course!

I love this old drill press. It is a Craftsman 150 from the late 1950s. Works very well.

I was researching an old Snap On flexible extension, and found this forum. I look forward to spending time swapping ideas here.

Any motorcyclists here, I am TheRoss on these other forums: BMWMOA, IBA, CG

Sweet!

What brand bike lift is that? I need one!

 

[OhioSiouxFan]

Lighting is great. Bright lights!

Sweet!

That is a homemade lift!

If I was going to buy a commercially available lift, I would get a Handy. They are not cheap, but are very stable and will last a lifetime. Harbor Freight sells a cheap lift that does okay. My R1100RT (620 LBS) is okay on them, but I do not feel so comfortable with my K1200RS (670 LBS) on a HF lift. I would not use a Harbor Freight lift to work on a Goldwing or a full dresser.

Howdy, neighbor ( in Texas, generally under 200 miles away can still be "neighbor"). Nice shop - those look like the older "ice cube tray" lights in the old post office here. Very cool.

Howdy from Canyon, Texas! I am a bike Guy too. Your shop is awesome, I wish I could keep Mine that clean. Since You drink that BMW Kool Aide come over to www.motorcyclistcafe.com and say hello to the boys. It was started as a BMW site, and since I ride Harleys, they like to beat up on Me, LOL. I am Donson over there. And, Welcome!

Nice space. Neat idea with the signs on the ceiling. I love the Johnny Cash sticker on the fridge too!

Ccould we get a couple more detail pics (maybe a write up) on that lift. Its very cool.

Uh, and yeah, cool set up down there in Mac Davis country.

Dave, wishing that everything known to him as familiar wasn't older to everyone else.

[slip knot]

Welcome from the gulf coast, 200 miles might be " in the neighborhood" 700 mile is "just a few counties away".

Now there's a smart man. Work on bikes, more room for tools. Nice.
