I Made a Bike Barn
Johhny and I built this "bike barn" out of scrap wood we needed to clear out of the garage. I don't think we used the measuring tape once. We just slapped the boards together as quickly as possible. Sometimes we cut them to length and sometimes we didnt. Fun!
How to refinish aluminum
While restoring my CL200, all the aluminum had to be refinished: the engine side covers, wheel hubs, and fork tubes.

The result was a very ugly, very tarnished surface. Here's how I cleaned them up.
