Are you tired of working on your bike in a disorganized garage? Are you thinking of taking your love of motorcycles to the next level with a professional repair shop? How to Set Up Your Motorcycle Workshop Third Edition is the definitive resource for creating, maintaining and upgrading your workshop no matter what level you are.
The book covers every level of workshop performance from the weekend mechanic to a professional racing team. There are profiles for each type of workshop including:
- personal garage,
- professional mechanic,
- multi-purpose,
- racing
- and specialty-built workshops for the restoration professional.
A workshop is more than a place to hold tools. It's the nerve center for repairs and customization. You have to know how to maximize space, the best place to keep tools and machinery and have an area of space to actually work.
You'll learn the basics of planning and designing, and what you'll need. There's a section dedicated to what tools should stay with the motorcycle, what should be used for emergencies and what you need to buy versus what you can make yourself. Author C.G. Masi sprinkles in anecdotes about his own experiences in creating and designing his own workshops, both positive and negative.
If you've ever looked at your workshop and cringed, then waste no time in getting How to Set Up Your Motorcycle Workshop. It could mean the difference between a great looking workshop and a garage with some bikes in it.
