Newest tool addition to the new shop, Harbor Freight motorcycle lift. Inexpensive and of decent enough quality for a home shop. It's a pretty simple piece of equipment, not much to fail. So nice to be able to get the bike up to working level without stooping over. I'm old enough (mid 40s) that bending over for long periods of time doesn't end well. :grin:

After one project with the bike it's clear that I need to start saving for the car version!

The bike lift is nice, but I want to see more pictures of that Morris!

That's Maggie, the '66 Morris Minor 4-door saloon. Bought her back in 2015, likely have more miles on her than any other British car. Has a few nice upgrades for usability, including a 1275, Datsun 5-speed, and front disc brakes. Surprisingly comfy, cruises at 70mph. A car I bought on a whim as a temporary diversion while I finish up the Bugeye, but that now has a permanent place in the fleet.

The Morris probably doesn't weigh much more than the bike.

About 1700# for the Morris. Light, but not quite bike light. :grin:

That's the next big shop purchase once I finish up the shop wiring and insulation. It's time.
