Ugh....

[Atticka]

I've stalled on my project, what do you guys do to stay motivated?

Winter doesn't help of course, the bike is in a freezing garage (I'm late moving in to the basement for the winter time wiring job!).

The occasional warm day and seeing other bikes ride by and me standing there watching is a nice motivator.

 

[backyardtrouble]

Some people as myself don't do well in the cold...and i really can't work very good when my fingers are froze and i'm doing everything to just to stay warm..so i got one of these in my shop....so now i get to work all year around. Everybody gets burned out on projects.....so just take a few days off...do something else that you enjoy as well, and as Brian said...seeing other people on bikes running down the road will motivate you too. Good luck with your projects.

Unfortunately no bikes on the road here! We're mandated by law to have winter tires as of Dec 15 (to March 15), applies to motorcycles as well! Also.... too dang cold! 10F this morning.

Maybe I need to move somewhere warmer :idea:

I recommend you invite some friends over, provide refreshments, and get that bike into the warmth! Nothing beats warm when working on your bike.

I'm not motivated at all when it gets below 50 in the garage. Yeah lightweight so cal.

Best I can suggest is chatting with others and think about how nice it will be once it's done and I can ride it!

 

[Atticka]

Agreed! Planning that for Jan 2nd.

Thankfully its just motor and frame, perfect for wiring...and lugging down the basement steps!

 

[backyardtrouble]

moving to a warmer place might help...some shops are cold...some are hott... :hihihi:

 

[slabghost]

Oh that's where my helper went! Dang this cold weather!!

Motivated? I've got the '83 is almost 1/3 apart. The' 81 CM400T I rescued for my brother (chosen) since he's been grounded with two babies and lost his wheels to some shenanigans. It's gonna one rowdy little lane splitter. Thing is though; it was stored 95% outside near the Puget Sound for just over a year. Aluminum case.... Steel bolts... I'll get to some pics up soon.
Oh yeah... So all of that ^ I'm moving. In 2 days . I have a very pregnant wife. I find myself polishing and cleaning instead of packing this mess up (all bagged and tagged proper) . My Dyna needs new rubber. My '76 F-150 4x4.... Lets not talk about that... I've got some words for Edelbrock.

And just wanna be clear that I don't have a 64 1/2 Mustang not sitting around for 6 years...uggggh..

[flash2002]
