Motorcycle cover (bmw 1150gs)

I wanted a cover for my bike that didn't fly  off in the wind and didn't touch the exhaust or cylinder heads so I could put it on right as I got done riding. This is the design that seems to fit the bill. It fits over the handlebars and back to the hard cases, and cinches tight with a drawstring. the only storm that pulled it off was hurricane force winds.

Long material support for the forge

The horizontal piece is 1" square .060 wall tube, with a piece of .75" tubing inside. I had the thumb screws laying around.
It allows a piece to be supported about 20" out from the forge opening.

Beginning

I've decided to start writing and posting drawings of some of the things I have / will make here. I hope that these posts inspire other people to make neat things.
