I'll start.... 2013 crf250. Relatively low hours but PO lost lower con-rod bearing. Cylinder and bottom of piston dinged up. Purchased it for $1500 and figure around $1000 for OEM parts and other replacement pieces to make it nice.

I'm still working as of now but if we are to start working from home (answer calls have computer on stand by) I'll be able to work on finishing out my shed and then work on making videos cleaning parts to get ready for re assembly.

Finish building my 03 KX125, then selling it.
Start on my 04 YZ250 build.
Finish re-doing my office.
Clean up the garage a bit, damn thing is a horrible mess. Plus I can sell a bunch of the stuff online.

Pretty much no way I’ll get called off. With weekend time I do plan on going through the wife’s XR100 to fix a few little things.

I wish I could work from home as opposed to dealing with every idiot running into my ER demanding a Covid test...

Still working at the moment, but I will be using any free time to dive deeper into my 2004 RM project. I am hoping that I will be reaching the assembly stage soon.

Like an idiot, I did all my projects over the winter. Had I have known this was going to happen, I would have been out riding in the cold, instead of working in the garage.

What you got going on with your tables there? Advantages to letting the front wheel hang?

Got bored one winter 20yrs ago. Just a modified version of the old Mark Charles stands from the 70’s. Radiator shrouded bikes won’t fit in the old Charles stand, so built some of my own That would work with modern bikes. Have 2 sets of legs for adjusting height. Unfinished one had a few different mods before I got it the way I wanted. The Red one I had powder coated.
As for The front wheel thing. I think it is so you can remove the wheel and forks easier. Plus, with a bike stand on the bench, you can remove both wheels. Pics of old Mark Charles stand are not mine. But it shows the way they worked.

At this point the construction industry here in Ohio is still moving along, but if something was to happen I have a couple projects that I need to finish.



I'm switching the 83 wheels, swingarm and forks off the KTM to a 1984 set up. Better swingarm, double leading shoe brakes front and back. The bike is a turd, so I have to make it handle decent to be competitive.



The KX needs the shock rebuilt and I have a Boyesen Rad valve to install.

Put a new top end in

and cleaned the carb and she fired right up and runs great!
I’m not doing anything fancy with this one, I’m just replacing what’s missing and then I’m either gonna use it as a trail bike or sell it.

Spent time in the garage today working on the pitbike. '03 DRZ125L, installed the obsolete BBR frame cradle today. Bike has RM85 front end and CR85 rear shock. It's a fun toy.
