This informative book will help you set up a hard-working motorcycle workshop to make the most of available space, and equip it with the tools necessary to get the job done.

Whether you plan only to keep your bike clean and in good repair or you want to become seriously involved with restoration, customization, or even professional repair, this book will show you how it's done.

In-depth shop profiles include:

• Personal garage workspaces
• Professional shops
• Specially-built professional restorer's shops
• Multi-purpose shops
• Race shops

There's even a guide to computerizing your workshop.

Each profile has a scaled layout of the shop with photos as well as ideas and tips from the owner or designer. You're bound to find ideas from these shops you can apply to your own.

Author C.G. Masi also explains the basic principles of planning and designing workshops, with practical advice on what equipment you'll need. He offers helpful suggestions about which tools to keep with your bike, which tools you'll need in emergency situations, electric power tools, computers in the workshop, and valuable hints and tips on which tools to purchase, which tools you can fabricate, and best of all, how to use them. Amusing anecdotes recount real-life experience, with examples of what to do and what not to do.
