So what did you buy today

[old 040]

Had one of the funnest riding days I've had in decades a couple years ago following my 6'6" buddy around the APV area on his CRF110. I have not laughed like that since. It was a mud day and we were all struggling, but seeing my friend monkeying around on that little bike was priceless. It took me back to my days as a kid and reminded me why I like riding so much.

Lol...great story. I'm 62 now and still ride quite well, I prefer to stay on smaller dirt-bikes and atv's anymore. I did grab the Yamaha TTR 90 yesterday, it's a cool little bike as well.....

I'm 6'3" and I would probably look ridiculous on a small motorcycle and it would be super uncomfortable

I am 6'8" and would look like I should be in a circus riding on one of those...

He had set it up as a pit racer with bigger bars and whatnot. Did really well considering those small tires and having to fold himself up to get on the bike. 'Goofy' riding times are my most cherished. That's what I did as a kid. Goofed off with other kids around the neighborhood on a bunch of unimpressive machines. Big Thanks to Mr. McClelland RIP who allowed us to terrorize his acreage making grass tracks, hillclimbs and woods trails.

I have a cousin that looks about like a polar bear. He wouldn’t ride a friends sportster because he said he was that fat it look like he’s riding a roller skate

These are 19x11x5, got 28 for $165. I’m not sure what I’m going to use them for but they were getting shredded if I didn’t take them.

Those are cool, definitely come in handy for storage.

 

[dangerousatom]

Those are nice.
Sham they don’t have lids.

For me : One would def be the random hardware drop bin until Jr is required to sort it back into its proper home. If liquid tight they’d make excellent parts soakers.

I’m not sure what I’m going to use them for . . .

Now you have to buy stuff to fill them with!

I would consider building a plywood shelf / cabinet, and use them to store / sort tools, parts, chains etc.

I have plenty of stuff to fill them. I have boxes and totes that need sorted for the last three years. I know where there were angle iron dollies with cast iron casters. If I cut one down so I can pinwheel this on there I can go four wide and seven high and be able to roll them under my shelf. See blueprint below… There are covered in oil so that’s a project to get them cleaned up.

They are made to stack so thats nice. I have Midwest bins 8’ as a random hardware wall and an old hardware store spinner bin stuffed with who knows what. I need the professional organizer from hoarders. I have safe deposit boxes I wanted to make into drawers. The have lids to hopefully keep the nice out.

Maybe it's anti-corrosion protection

It would have been necessary before. Everything rusted in my garage until it got heat and ac. It’s amazing how maintaining temperature keeps the moisture away

It’s always a blast going “fast” on a slow machine. I have all sorts of 2 wheeled objects…Harley’s, sport bikes, enduros, supermoto…and even some 150cc Honda scooters. I absolutely laugh my ass off riding the scooters.

Small steel containers are always good. A few years back the Deere heavy equipment dealer that one of my sons works for was cleaning up stuff in the shop. They were tossing stuff in the dumpster. He dropped off a stack of these nitrogen charging kits for the pavement hammers they sell. He said the majority of customers do not know how to use them so they do not send them with the new hammers. He figured I could just use them for storage. Well it appears there was a demand as I sold all of them at a very nice price. I had to overnight one to Texas and send one to Europe. Just think they were headed to the landfill.

 

[furb]

I bought these with the intentions of cleaning them up, fixing the jump seat and selling but I’m thinking they might make a good garage couch. My dog needs a place to lay and this might be it. Lag them to 4x4s with casters or make a steel frame so I can roll them around.

My FIL used to strip the bench seats out of his minivans when they became "work" vehicles. He would then mount them on the hayrack that he pulled folks around on with his draft horses.
