Lemon Garage

Found out what was causing the tire to lose air pressure. Loose valve core. Cleaned up the area, tightened the core, sprayed again. No visible leaks. Letting it sit for a while to see if it still loses air pressure. If not, it'll get put back on the bike. In the mean time, I'm doing a little cleaning and reorganizing. Contemplating putting the lift on the other side of the garage.

It's too dark now, but there has been some progress made on the garage. While I was waiting to start my new job, the weather was too cold to work out there for a decent amount of time, so I focused more on indoor projects. However, since the last few days have been nice, I've been doing small amounts of work after I get home, so here's an update:

One bike gone to a new home = space acquired.
Parts bike stripped down, saved parts set aside in tight spaces = loss of unused space, not a real loss. Frame will be cut down and disposed of properly.
Another garage occupant moved onto the lift for future diagnosis and repairs.

There is now a fairly clear and defined path to exit the garage from the front of the garage. With any luck, the weather will hold up and I can move the beer fridge outside for a good and thorough cleaning before restocking.

Day 1 of cleaning up the garage a bit and working on organization. Where to start?

And delivered to the new owner! He couldn't believe it was his, even sitting on it after the previous owner, his wife, and myself told him. At some point I'll come back and help him perform some regular maintenance and address minor issues, but until then it's gonna be cared for and washed where it sits.

Put the carb back on the bike today and the battery was dead. So dead it wouldn't take a jump start. Run and get a new battery, get it installed, add gas, and the new battery is low on charge. Got it on a charger now so we'll see how it goes!

If you're not bleeding, you're not working hard.
