We all have to start somewhere...

Around this time last year, I started renting a very small garage to share with some buddies. I needed a place to keep my bikes, and a place to work on them, and hang out even though I had a perfectly warm apartment to do that in. It ended up being a blast, and a lot of shit actually got done in that garage during the few months I had it... well I didn't get too much done, but my buddies sure did. The garage definitely served it's purpose. Eventually we had to move out because the landlord sold the place.

Check it out! I called it 'Great North Garage' of course...

(From top to bottom: My 1973 CB750 on an 'All Souls' plunger frame while the garage was still pretty empty, Ryan picking up his 1981 Honda XL250 w/parts bike and the engine in shoe boxes, Kayvon picking up his 1986 Yamaha Virago 750, A 1979 Honda CB750 project I picked up earlier that year, the garage started to fill up with friends and bikes, I stripped the CB750 down and ended up selling it to my lovely pal 'Chopper Wilf' for $20, We needed a work bench, so we got one and put it together, the garage filled up some more, I stood around and watched Mitch work on the Enfield, and then I drank beer, the end.)

Thanks to my pals, Kayvon, Ryan, and Mitch for hanging out, helping out, and pitching in. It's my dream to get a bigger garage going in the future, where I can rent some space out to buddies, print shirts, throw parties, start some projects and maybe even build a bike one day. Oh yeah, and build a spray booth so I can teach myself how to fuck paint up. Seems like a good idea.
