We need to find a home for the FJ


It was March 2010 when Peter and Paul decided to work on restoring a project bike together. The project bike is an FJ1100 which was purchased from a guy at Lota for $400. The bike "ran" after liberal amounts of "start ya bastard".

Currently the FJ resides under Paul's house along with a motorcycle work platform and several other bits and pieces.

The most immediate issue is "where" to house the bike whilst it is being worked on. What is required is a shed that is ...
1. Away from living quarters because of the smell of degreaser that will be prominent as the rebuild progresses,
2. Able to be accessed at anytime by any of the "restorers" (i.e. Ian, Paul or Peter)
3. Big enough and secure enough to house the project bike, bike platform, spare parts and various tools and
4. Is cheap to rent (i.e. is free!!)

Paul is following up on a possible place and we do have a "plan B" is all else fails.
