those mini bikes don't look like as much exercise as your pedal bike, but they do look like fun. do you own any or were you shopping for one?

also in case you might want an unlimited supply of washers, nuts and bolts keep your eyes out for nice metal cabinets and not only might you bring a nice cabinet home you'll probably get one full of stuff you can use like I have for years now.

good luck!!

 

[Kevkx125]

Yes driveitsfar I own 4 of them A 87-89 kd80x, A 2003 xr80r, A 2003 xr50r, A 74 z50ak5
Thanks for checking in!

So Kev
2020 is behind us and it looks like things are coming back around again. Nice to see people out and about again.
So How many bikes do you own? You must collect bikes like I collect cars! lol

 

[Kevkx125]

No they are not any more, Did you have a special one in mind?

 

[harley jim]

Yes, I'm looking for the classic design like a Rupp, my cousin had one from sears that had the look.

Something like this

[Kevkx125]

Kevin,
Good idea.

I put a hitch on my Solstice so I can use a cargo carrier for when we go up north for the Solstice/Sky national meet.
A week's worth of stuff won't fit in the trunk.

 

[Kevkx125]

Went to a car meet today

 

[drivesitfar]

it's amazing what a trailer hitch on your car will help you haul. I used to have a client that would drive down from Canada in his mercedes that he put a hitch on so he rent a $20 Uhaul trailer and fill it down here before heading back home. i'm sure he had to pay tax on the stuff at the border, but most of the stuff he bought he couldn't buy up in Canada and he never had to put anything inside his mercedes.

hope you are having a good weekend.

Went to a car meet today

There are some nice cars there.

You know I like cars.
I’m in northern Michigan all week for a meet of Pontiac Solstices, and Saturn Skys.
People from all over the country are here.

 

[Bears Fan]

What the hell is up with this guy putting a Dodge Hemi in a Ford Ranger

 

[Kevkx125]

Bears Fan , A lawn mower engine can power any thing, sounded just like a lawn mower

 

[Kevkx125]

Picked up a used US general box and so it begins

Yes, that's where it begins.
Looks great Kev, nothing like getting a new box.

Enjoy filling it up!

 

[drivesitfar]

Great looking box and have fun organizing all your tools inside it. I use blue painting tape with sharpie to label drawers until I have memorized.

 

[captain14]

Do you have a list of what’s going in each drawer before loading each one up?

Most used tools near the top, lesser used tools on the bottom?

Will it be top heavy if too many tools are in the upper drawers?

 

[Kevkx125]

Got out to a local car show today , I bleed blue in case your wondering, the boss 302 was my favorite.

 

[Kevkx125]

Picked up a 26" box using the 10% off coupon to go with my used 44 I picked up last week.

 

[harley jim]

Nice box kev, we just got a new HF here last month, I was there friday looking at the boxes but they didnt have any of the big ones on display.

 

[Kevkx125]

Started getting the mustang ready for a clutch replacement.

 

[Kevkx125]

Stopped by a local cruise in last night, light turn out.

 

[captain14]

If your heat was like anything we had in the Wash DC area the past several days, anybody that works outside was beat to death by the heat and was probably exhausted and just wanted to lay in the AC with a cold beverage.

 

[Kevkx125]

Got a crusty dirty trans out from under the mustang today

 

[Kevkx125]

Went to a local car gathering today

[harley jim]

The blue coupe reminds me of my Dads car, he had a 31 chevy coupe with a 409/ 4 speed

 

[Kevkx125]

Organized my bicycle bench with a few parts bins, could use a few more

 

[Kevkx125]

Added a couple more bins to the bicycle bench.

 

[drivesitfar]

Isn’t it great to have bins to organize those items too big to go in a drawer and so you can see them and not have your bench cluttered?

in guessing you have one go to bike to ride or do you have several?
