I'm just glad my garage isn't the only one to look like that (leaves included) after not being in there all winter.

Yeah, each spring is quite the cleanup. I need to replace the rack on the mustang this coming weekend so I will need to clear that crap out of there.

Hello Emory,
I like seeing all those bicycles hanging up in your garage. It would make me a little nervous having them all hanging above my car . Thanks for all your past support .Here's one of my other rides.

I hear they all leak oil especially if you don't drive them. Even the new ones.

No tender, optima battery. Didn't even remember to disconnect it. Oops. Battery is a 2001. The car leaked very very little this year. That makes me happy. There is still salt here too. I don't think I will be taking it out yet but we will see. I might not be able to resist. I needed to get the boys bikes out.

Nice bike Ron. Mine is the 1985 trek Elance. Pulled the frame out of a dumpster in DC 25 years ago. Been riding it ever since. Here it is last summer on a bike ride with my boys.

Great to see you sharing your love of cycling with your boys . Nice dumpster find . Mine is a Trek emonda all carbon . I would like to pick up an old classic steel bike someday . Looks like a beautiful place for a ride .

Mine is spotless. OCD I suppose, but the car loves it.

Nice Guys! I just installed vintage tires for my 1993 Specialized Rock Hopper - that I purchased new back in the day. This bike was rode hard for many years but it is still rock-solid. Literally, no shocks!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I'm in Michigan. Don't be deceived by an early warm spell. Snow could easily come next week! It takes some rain to clean off the streets from salt. Salt attacks lots of parts in an air cooled engine.

I don't wake mine up until near the end of April (sad to say)

That is quite the bike mount!
Carbon fiber would be wasted on me so I don't mind the steel.

I have probably called a blizzard by even backing it out of the garage.

Here she is humming away today. I always love having it start the season ready to go. Doesn't happen often with my toys.

picking away at the falcon ute in its cowl and under dash region.
aus cars rust, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , even sans snow and salt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

went for a walk down the block this morning.
the vehicle scientists at surrounding bases have some real tasteful gear.

ford hard top "john goss special".
as a ford man thought this might warm your post winter heart.
got my heart beat up and racing for sure.
been ages since i stumbled into one of these.

there are some real +'s to the new location.
no idiotic inner city speed limits. 60kmh out here. not 30.
no speed bump traffic calmers.
plenty of sweeper corners.
and the groceries at the supermarket are 25% cheaper - (as well as the beer).
and the gasoline is not hyper priced. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

What a great setup. That falcon looks like a cross between a maverick and a Torino. Very cool.

I like that thunderbird too, is it a supercoupe?

My 914 woke up this week too. I need to do an oil change and check valves, but she is up and running. Took her for a drive around the test track and let it idle in the garage for a while before shutting down again.

I want this year to be about getting the bus and rabbit on the road, and less about the 914. We shall see. 914 has to be running, one cool car always needs to be running.
