I took the GS1000S out for the first time in a while and gave it a sun dry. Looking at the inspection sticker, it says “Heisei 31, May” *2019 When I think about it that way, it’s only been 6 years since the inspection expired…
I’m thinking I should get the inspection done soon when the timing is right. Once you let a motorcycle sit like that, it’s not just the inspection that needs attention…
Recently I’ve been constantly searching for and buying necessary items online. *Not because I want them But because I need them That feeling is incredibly exhausting. If I’m not careful, I spend the entire morning from 8 AM to around noon searching and purchasing. Then in the afternoon I install the items that arrived, and I get a bit fed up, so I end up riding the bike.
It’s not that simple—some items get rejected quite a bit… This was a problem (~;∀;) Basically I separate materials carefully, so I took them to a metal recycling company and got 7,000 yen for them!!!
If you sort things properly, I think it’s best to have a recycling company take them. For industrial waste, you contract with a company and borrow a container, and you just keep filling it up, but I’m not really into that… If garbage is sorted cleanly, it becomes beautiful? I live with that kind of philosophy.
The boards I ordered from Cainz arrived, so I picked them up
I’ve been cooped up in the factory lately, so I drove a car for the first time in a while. Everywhere is empty, so driving out isn’t a problem at all.
The Jonan area of Tokyo always seems crowded. The number of people and traffic lights is just insane Recently I don’t like parking lots unless I can pull in head-first anymore… I mean, parking spaces in the city center are ridiculously narrow and abnormal…
I’ve finally started to understand the different types of wood materials. Home centers don’t have as many options as I thought…
This time I’m using for the shelves Acacia laminated board 20×910×1825 Cainz offers a cutting service for 50 yen per cut. It’s great that they cut to your specified dimensions with a straight-line cutting machine.
I purchased and had it cut at the Mobara Cainz this time, but the request method is different from the Ichihara Cainz At the Ichihara Cainz, you just tell them the dimensions and they cut it nicely for you I went to the Mobara Cainz with that image in mind, but they ask you to draw it on graph paper
Since there are 5 different cutting sizes, asking me to draw it on the spot is… How efficiently you can cut it out is important so I should have brought a plan I’d already thought through.
Thinking about dust covers. The drill press, belt sander, and contour machine are all on the same table. This table gets pretty dusty. If I don’t protect it from the start, the entire perimeter of the table will be covered in dust and chips. By protecting the table, I can clean from the front, which makes things much more efficient.
For now, I’m still thinking about what to do.
I’m going to install various things with the boards I bought
By the way, I’ve purchased 6 of these acacia boards, so… Let’s see… 52,800 yen! Plus the cost of Royal hardware channel supports, so equipment expenses are quietly adding up.
Boom! I attached one board to the wall. It’s resting on the wood behind it, so it should be fine, but I’m adding some insurance at the bottom just in case.
I cut the unused channel support section and placed it before fixing it to the base. This way, the load doesn’t fall only on the fixing bolts, so I feel more secure.
I’m planning to attach hooks to this one board to wall-mount racing stands. I’m trying to avoid putting things on the floor as much as possible.
I fixed two air reels to the wall. If I had time, I’d use a router to chamfer the edges of the wood and round the four corners with about 20-30R radius—that would look cool.
But there’s too much to do this time, so I can’t do it.
I was able to add 8 more 600*450mm shelves this time. Royal’s channel supports are really convenient once you have them installed.
Shelf positions can be changed freely
Lots of attachments besides shelves
Shelves don’t sit on the ground so the look is clean and cleaning is easy
Zaki Mountain! Now is the only time? Modem and router simplified
This time it’s everyone’s favorite “Zaki Mountain” again. Well, more like I’ve been into it lately…
Modems and routers are really important, but they’re also really in the way At the old Meguro shop, I used to throw them on a ceiling shelf… I wanted to lay them out nicely back then too, but I could only make custom pieces one at a time. You can’t do that when you’re in the middle of moving chaos.
Lately, Yamakasi’s tower series is really efficient and reasonably priced. I rely on it heavily.
I had to wall-mount the router and modem, so I bought two. Now that I think about it, I could have lined them up, but oh well, it’s fine.
Since I can wall-mount the annoying modem and router, it should look much cleaner. I even bought one for my home (*´ω`*) Small touches like this really clean up your home, so give it a try.
I can’t prepare 1.6 million right away! Using the old wet blaster
I want a large wet blaster, but the unit costs about 1.3 million yen. A 7.5 horsepower or higher compressor costs about 300,000 yen. I’ll definitely buy it eventually, but it’s not the right time now, so I’ll make do with the old one.
I’m wondering if there’s a way to work more efficiently, and I’m currently trial-and-error testing, which is giving me a headache.
Thinking too much… ugh, I want to see the ocean
The weather was nice, so I gave the GS1000S a sun dry. I really prefer the GS without the fairing (*´ω`*)
For now, I’m thinking of taking the working Zephyr out for a short neighborhood ride.
It was kind of a dream of mine… to take motorcycle photos at a port like this. In places with larger populations, there are often no trespassing signs, making it hard to enter isn’t there?
Around here, I get the strong impression of “take full responsibility” for everything.
I got sucked into an American-style supermarket on the way… It was just a regular supermarket inside.
But there are really so many supermarkets, and each one has its own personality, so it’s really fun to check them out.
You have to park the bike in a parking lot a bit away. *If you’re riding a high-end bike, you might want to be careful. There’s a sign at the entrance that says “No video recording inside” so I wasn’t sure if photos were okay, so I didn’t take any. I’ll check next time I go.
It’s a really nice place, and the coffee has a wonderful aroma—I thought it was excellent. The beans were a great deal, so I bought a little to take home.
Perfect environment for riding! No traffic jams, traffic lights, or pedestrians
It’s rural, so everywhere you ride looks like this. About 20 minutes from the shop, you can enjoy nature, the sea, and everything.
The number of traffic lights you stop at is countable… It’s only about 100km from Tokyo, yet I’m amazed at how wonderful this place is.
You don’t have to wake up early—you can leave around 3 PM, stop for tea on the way, and still be back in about an hour. If you want to enjoy life slowly and can choose your work environment, it’s worth considering. Since I haven’t ridden most of the roads, I always take a different route back.
One thing to watch out for, unlike the city, is “light trucks coming out of side roads” and animals, I guess. Based on my riding feel, I get the impression you shouldn’t go too fast in town areas. If something comes out, the road is probably too narrow to avoid so you need to be careful. About three weeks have passed since the move, and it’s gone by in a flash. I’m getting used to it, but “the factory prep is nowhere near done”
By the way, everyone, the internet isn’t even connected yet… I’m barely getting a signal by relaying my home’s weak WiFi. After all, the fiber optic line wasn’t installed yet (installed 6/13)
I have so much more I want to write about, but I’ve probably forgotten most of it. I want to finish organizing the factory soon… Please wait a bit longer for completion (*´ω`*)Thanks, bomber
