One shed is mine, just bikes tools, spares.

The other I've put a dividing wall in, I have 2/3rds, mowers, cement mixer, tractor, gardening stuff,  wife has 1/3rd she uses as a gym.

Carport is mine. 

House has a double garage with electric doors, the wife uses that.

We aren't pedantic about what's mine and what's hers, but when I have tools or projects spread out and her gyms set up exactly how she likes it, it works for us.

No need. Top marks to TEC bike parts of Newcastle.  :worshippy:
 
Contacted supplier and they've already put a replacement in the post, no issues.  :clapping:

Rare and outstanding service, these days when you usually have to argue until you are blue in the face.  :onya:

Hooli

Today I have mostly purchased some cheap allen keys to live in the Bloo Thing for when idiots walk into the mirrors. I also got some strimmer string, for extra excitement.

This evening I purchased a couple of beers at a bike night.

Ooooh, suits you sir.

Same at home for us, wifey has her car shed and I.have my workshop. I do have a sense of humour failure when her ladyship decideds my shed needs a helpful tidy. They don't understand,  if it's hanging up on the floor we know where it is !!
You can never have too many sheds  :onya:

I wouldn't say 'the same' but I do have my own shed, we live on a corner block so have dual access. My wife uses the two car garage that enters into the house and mine is a 9x7mt brick & tile shed I park my Ute and bikes in. All the mundane stuff goes into the garden shed.

Mods have already started. Ordered a set of Yoshi ST-1 Cams.

Probably the disappointing thing was I first reached out to PTR (I know a lot of people here have used them before and seem like the go to for the 14) wanting to support an Aussie business and they had 1 pair left on the shelf. When I emailed about the cams and a PC they upped the price $400 on the cams from what I could have clicked buy on, so went the EBay route. I always try support local businesses first and know costs are rising but it's not like they needed to be ordered in they were already sitting on the shelf. Lost themselves a sale.

Mr Gee

A new coffee grinder, so I can have a decent cuppa, while I'm banging my head, against the garage wall, trying to sort out this electrical fault on the 14.  :whatever:  :confused1:

Also sent for another rack. Mate saw mine yesterday and wanted one.  :onya:

I have dealt with PTR (Phil Tainton  Racing) as they are the guru's when it comes to 16v Suzuki's, great wealth of knowledge, but a shame they are so expensive.  I reached out to them for potentially a new ECU, and while a little helpful, couldn't supply me one and provided some basic advice.  Always keen to support local, but upping the price by that much is taking the piss a bit, I agree.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

grog

Yeah, upping the listed price very rude, especially by that much. Same with local Suzuki v Japbike, genuine parts but huge difference in prices🤷🏼
