mick:
I'm in the same boat as everyone else,  i have a 13x6 shed with 2 bikes in it and a lean to on the end of that up to my back gates that acts as a covered yard & theres 3 bikes in there  ::), so before i get started 3 bikes have to be moved outside and covered up if its raining,   then i can get 1 bike out of the shed to work on it  ;),   i sometimes have to rotate the bikes to work on them,  at the moment i have been working on my Suzuki GT750 doing the head gasket & yesterday changing the rear tyre so thats sorted for the year  8), my VTX 1300 doesn't need anything doing to it apart from keeping it clean  :D, my Black F1 750  has stripped a inner spark plug thread so the engine will have to come out for that to be done  >:( i'm going to sorn it at the end of the month and get round to it later in the year :-\, my 1970 CB750 is a rolling restoration and only gets used in the summer  :), i've just done the swinging arm bushes on it before christmas, it smokes a bit so probably needs new rings or a rebore but can be used as is, i may tackle it at the back end of the year?  & my purple & gold F1 parts bike never gets much attention its to good to break, stands me at nowt but i dont want to spend on it or i'll end up spending loads to sort it  :o, so don't give up Pete  ;) get your space sorted and make some room for your projects and just do a bit at a time springs only round the corner  8) good luck  :) cheers Mick.

Spitfire:
Sounds like you are still struggling for space Mick, do you still keep a couple of bikes in your van ?

Cheers

Yes good advise from all of you, i put the same post on the US sohc foum and also got some good advise, i have had a good think about this situation and have decided before i do anything else i am going to manage my space a bit better, i have made a start by building a lean too roof going down the side of my house and joining it up with my garage,that gives me some more dry area to use, i am also going to have a bit of a clear in my garage and workshop as there is nothing better than having it all neat and tidy,
when the space situation is under control i am going to tackle one bit at a time, say for example start on the front brakes and each time i go out to do something make sure if finish that bit even if it is only one small bit, then once i have a complete overhauled front brake assembly, i can move on to say the rear brake components, taking one small bit at a time until that is done,and gradually move through each part of the bike.
As well as the cold i have identified the other big problem, which is basically when i do something wrong or something breaks or i totally mess something up, it knocks my confidence and pisses me off so much that i cant get exited about doing anything else to the bike, and this feeling seems to last a long time, so i am now going to do everything as logically as i can and take my time and get it right first time so that i don't depress myself as i have been doing.

Yoshi when i have had a good clear up i will give you a shout and we will have a beer and a chat while looking at the mess i have got myself into.
Pete
