Same colour as my first bike.

More
bulkhead light mounted to board to put  under bike when needed
My away bag from work, note folding chisels fantastic things to just throw it in a bag and go,not used it much on bike though
also carpet on floor,top one is sacrificial and will be replaced next time we refurb  a boat ,note quick pressure and torque setting guide scrawled on wall,gets added to every time I have to look one up saves faff.
I don't buy tool kits anymore ,when I get a new bike if I need something new I'll buy individual tools like when I had to get torxs keys for the KTM,otherwise you end up duplicating so much

 I've finally got around to installing a Yale alarm system to the garage. It's been on the to-do list for sometime but with yet another holiday coming up (Alsace, wine week) I thought 'get Your finger oot lad'. Sorted and working perfectly, at least it's a bit of a deterrent and my neighbours garages look much more of an attractive proposition now compared to mine...

Front & rear pic's.

It's pronounced 'twenty-one-twelve'
