with being laid up for so long with the broken neck, i've had time to do paperwork with the city, state, federal to get my own shop put together. i think we've found a building reasonable and in a high traffic area 2 truck bays, 3 phase power and already set up for a bigass compressor. i'll be doing vintage euro, brit and jap bikes with custom builds, restorations and maintenance. i have a line on a motorcycle sized paint booth too. i'm certified on beemer and triumphs and as soon as i'm out of this collar i'm going back to ami to get my certification on ducatis and hondas. going to call it fat cat cycles i think.

some people are like slinkies, basically useless but they still make me smile when i push them down the stairs

believe it or not, i've got enough clean space in the front that i'm putting in a tattoo shop. tattooing was very recently legalized here in south carolina and i think the 2 sides of the business will compliment each other. nobody within a 90 mile drive/ride works on bikes much more than 10-15 years old and there are just plain NO beemer dealers less than 2 hours away. i spent my inheritacne late last year buying up all the bmw factory tools from a shop that went out of business.
