Floating shop / home

Got the engine back together and running ....bit of a night shift. Did most of my shopping for fresh stuff to take along, filled the water tank so monday fill up with fuel and then I am out of here .....3000 Nm left to do.

Right all systems are running and I'll cast off early tomorrow morning for the secong leg of my solo transat. So will have a look back on here in around about 30 - 35 days or so when I get to the other side of the pond. Take care and have fun folks.

Scuba, you have to remember that in most of the USA Harleys are limited to 55MPH... At least it means the sweeper-up can keep close as he picks up the parts that fall off ;) Could also explain why high-speed handling isn't an issue, that and the roads being long and (tediously?) straight compared to the sinuous curves we're blessed with on the right of the pond

As for back-breakers, the "cruiser" riding position is probably why so many US bikers complain about their Hoverlloyds -  feet stuck out in front, all the weight on the bum, compared to the European style where you can get "up in the stirrups" and absorb some of the shocks with your legs? Same goes for horse-riding - I tried a "western" saddle once, bum was battered after a couple of hours!

I wonder if that's why they call cowboys and bikers "bad-assed"?

I discovered this post today! and was fun to see the floating workshop .... hi hi .....but not the first  I see, I bought my RF 40 mill for over 15 years to a guy who also had his floating workshop, which appeared around the island in a boat similar to yours, equipped with: lathe, milling , band saw, compressor etc..
  when he arrived to a  new port, pulled the boat in dry dock and took some of the machines out of the boat, and was offering its services to other  boaters.
the mill  not returned to sail the seas ..... and stayed on the island.

Ehhh.. not all of us here ride cruisers...

I am a sportbike rider.

Nor are all of the roads here straight. Yes we have a lot, we are a big country. We do have a lot of twisties though. I will dig up some pictures of local roads.



not far from where I live.

Scuba, you have to remember that in most of the USA Harleys are limited to 55MPH... At least it means the sweeper-up can keep close as he picks up the parts that fall off ;)

That made me laugh. Speed limit on the big straight roads in the southern states is 70MPH now though.

OFC, to be fair... some of the really fast drag bikes have Harley engines in them.  For ballast? Mosey



Not my cup of tea, but fast non the less...

Rant off...
