I even said that I'd let her buy a fire extinguisher if it bothered her that much  :-\

I pretty much rebuilt my old 1975 Honda CB360 Twin in my living room of my old apartment, glad it was
downstairs and I lived alone…

@Megatron1505:

Women would not agree guys, you know how awkward they can be about silly things like petrol and oil in the living room…..weirdos.

you gotta choose better…;)

@Megatron1505:

Unfortunately I had to sell it to buy furniture when Pam and I moved into our first home 

Why? Bikes are perfectly good pieces of living room furniture.

how "easy" is it, to repair/restore a bike on your own btw. …i somehow have the idea, copping myself an old broken bike and turn it into sth. like my own DIY project for a year or more...should be fun!

what do you guys think?...

[Giles]

How long is a piece of string?

@Giles:

do you mean g-string?…

j/k...gotcha just thought i should ask and see what the guys think about it!...or if they have similar things done already and can share thoughts and stuff!?...

[Giles]

I did a 250 BSA single cylinder when I was 17 - Super easy…..

thanks for the answer…i´ve only worked with mopeds and scooters so far...but a "real bike" should be way more challenging and fun at the same time...only time can tell though and if i´m going to do such a project, i´ll def. update in here o/course!...

Wondered this same thing.  My dad had an old Norton (probably late 60's early 70's) sitting in the garage since I was a kid.  Probably wouldn't take much work, but I couldn't sell my wife on the idea.  Still not sure what to do about it as it is sitting at my sister's house.

[Giles]

I'll pick it up from her if you like…...

[thomasnunnally]

Haha, probably need to take a look at it first, not sure exactly what condition it is in.  I was having trouble convincing my mom to sell it.

[TJ]

Go for it.  With the amount of information available on the 'net, and the fact that there's just not much to a motorcycle, it's been pretty easy in my experience.

now i only need to find myself something to dance with

There's plentiful of Kawa W650's in Germany. Pretty affordable and trustworthy machines.

That way you can concentrate on making it look like your own, no need to rebuild the motor first. Good starter bikes…
