You're the Dani Pedrosa of recumbents!
Best MotoGP rider to never win a championship. Was always a big fan of that guy.

actually i did pretty much make a shop. i am also taking a frame building class to formalize my skill set and then i can legitimately do steel and better paint work. i have been rebuilding bikes for people since the first of the year. takes about 2 days to do a bike if i have the parts and i don't have to do any paint work. so people are just paying me for time and parts. fortunately the people bringing me these bikes realize that most of the time they will pay me more than the bikes are worth and they don't care, because the bikes are sentimental and classics.

And what better than to have an old Bridgestone on the stand for a freshening up. Nice!

Yep an 87 cb-2. Not as valuable as the original cb, but a wonderful bike. Comfortable and well geared.

do you recognize the other bikes in the other pictures?

or the vehicles?

It's so organized!

Lots of toys! I see a Felt road bike, another mystery steel frame road bike on the stand, a fat bike, and what looks like Q45. With apologies, I am mostly useless when it comes to wheels with motors. I'd love to have a big space like that.

Actually a felt f1x cyclecross race bike I built from frameset. Spectacular bike. It now lives in Ann Arbor with my brother in law. Quite the bikes and brews conversation piece. yes a fat tire one speed beach bike. 79 miyata 710 with campy wheelset, specialized roubaix, a cb t50e, a modified varna streamliner, a bunch more bikes, a steyr 712 m, a lifted 86 k body, the front fender off of a 928, and other fun hidden under covers. I still need toget a few more bike building items. Not as interesting as marcos shop in italy but i like it

great ride, great numbers.
at 6'1 and 205, with a body that has been "ridden hard and put away wet" as my normal procedure for many decades, i will never see the numbers you guys put up. and having lost a lot of skin and a few bone chips in wrecks, i just don't have it in me to downhill on a two wheeler above 40's anymore.

its the 6 f's for me. fairly flat, fairly fast, fairly far.

Me neither. Having wrecked both my ankles I have no desire to re-injure them again. Too many random pot holes, sand, road trash, stupid drivers to make going over 35mph feel safe to me. Besides nearly every downhill around here ends in traffic light. What is the point of screaming down the hill only to have to come to a complete stop anyway and wait for the light. My goals are increase my overall ride speed, ie flats and uphill. That's where I lose the most time.
