Mostly been having a look in my shed, haven't looked in a while.Anyone else think they have a shed that fills and makes a mess of its self, when you don't visit it for a while?

Nice shed photos...i've just emptied absolutely everything from my shed and got rid of bench / shelves etc...couldn't cope with the clutter.Now its empty except for scoot and hydraulic lift with plenty of room all round Just repainted yesterday... Some of the wise ones on here tell us its the shed fairies that do these things to mess up your shed or that they take and hide tools too

It's the hoarder in me, think it stems from the early 1980's, when you could hardly get any spares for scoots! A lot of my mates who started at the same time are the same, sometime it feels like we're just moving the same parts around each others sheds, as none of us can bare to throw anything out, in case we need it!

Just thought, some scootering history in there as well, the red steel cabinet on the back wall, left hand side, with the Denso sticker and a tall green cabinet, front left, but not in photo, came from Jade scooters in the early 90's( some of you will remember them) when my mate bought a load of parts and scoots from them, when they closed.

I do like the colour of your scoot, I've not been in my shed for ages, it's a flaming tip.

Ironsloth, I put the photos of my tip of a shed on, to see if I could shame myself into cleaning it up and I hope it works This is what my scoot looked like after I'd resprayed the front end, then stripped it to fix rust on backbend and do a few other jobs 😀

Today I have mostly been having flashbacks to Christmas 1981, of all things 😂, after my mate pointed out that the photo I put up of the rusty rear end 😉 of my PX, look very much like the rearend of a N reg Rally 200 I got from Santa in 1981! About a year later it was rusted right through and and broken up for parts,if only we new then what we know now 😧😥😞😂 Oh! and the Rally 200 cost £50!! and had tax and MOT!! My mate got two complete and running SX200 for £20. +£30 each!!!!!!!

Here's my shed. Took ages to clear out all my old BMXs and Raleigh bombers ( got a 5 speed bomber and a MK1 Chopper left) Stuck some sheets of 8x4 ply up to form a massive shelf and a workbench ('60 VNB1T stuck under the bench) Got a PC with wi-fi and sub-woofer ( all from freecycle) for tunes and movies. It's all double glazed and insulated been warm and toasty for the last few days Sportique is currently in bits for new cables and loom I'll update the pic tomorrow

Been there, done that Sime. Except it used to be my front garden. Got fed up with all the wasted space in my shed. It was originally a hardwood conservatory that some posh people used to keep their heated swimming pool in They did a poor description on ebay so I got it for £180. Took nearly a week of evenings to get it apart Then built it back up as a shed sitting on decking Sportique in bits

I prefer working on my scoots outside ( as long as it' s not Baltic), as the steel shed I have, is fine if your about 5 foot 8inches or smaller, but being 6 foot 2, I keep banging my head on the roof beams, lol.If you look at my shed photos, you can see some of the beams I've put black foam pipe lagging on, still annoying tho. Argos steel sheds should come with a free hard hat ! 😂

Mostly been putting some paint and 2pack primer for my cutdoon in my shed of shame 😀.My mate brought it to me yesterday, so I thought I'd better put it in the shed to keep The Wife sweet,it is Valentines Day after all 😉. Also had a measure of the exhaust port of my spare 200 barrel, it had been sold to my mate as a BGM 200 barrel and piston, I bought it off him for £75 last year, but noticed the piston had thick rings!!!anyway the chordal width of the exhaust port on this socalled BGM barrel is........ 36mm!!!!!? Have to say, should have checked it before I bought it, but it's done now.
