Your garage is so much better organized and more tightly arranged than mine...

I have that same Kymco scooter for my daughter.
Good luck with the 185.

The Kymco people 150 was a result of taking my wife to Wheel Sports. She saw it and wanted it. It was oddly nice to be sitting in the junkyard and they only wanted $350 for it - and it had a clear title. Took about $100 worth of generic Chinese parts from Amazon to make it run like new. If they had 4 more I would buy them all.
Yeah, my detached garage is shared by my wife's truck and gardening stuff, so I really only have about 60% of 24x36.
In the winter my wifes convertible is back there. This time of year - nothing but space. But this one is just a single 9ft door and maybe 20x24? Something like that.
Ah, so that's the garage her car goes in, didn't realize it was a separate one.
The boat and her SUV live in the front garage. My truck and her convertible live in the driveway in the summer. Winter configuration is moving her car to my shop. It is behind the tool boxes against the back wall in this picAh, so that's the garage her car goes in, didn't realize it was a separate one.
I’m envious of all your space!!!
The garage in the back yard is the only reason that I bought the house 29 years ago. The house was kind of a dump inside and was many many years of remodeling that I did myself. But it was worth it for the extra shop space.

Great bike! I had an '82 years ago.
I wish I'd kept it, I liked it better than my XL250s.

Started pulling it apart last night. Broken off engine mount tab on the frame that I'll need to weld back on. new O-ring chain had been installed with o-rings only on one side of the clip link. Minor cracked boss where the sprocket guard attaches. Other than that - completely covered in oil. I'll wrap some baggies around the open wiring and then pressure wash and degrease it later today. The "paint job" on the wheels and forks scrapes off with a fingernail, so I figure that ought to come off pretty easily. Won't be a restore - likely paint the parts that are supposed to be painted either flat black or desert tan.
The way it's sprayed, someone's half-assed attempt at modern camouflage?

The muffler looks amazingly intact. Very lucky that!
Yup, spokes wiring and all. The bike itself seems in really good condition.The way it's sprayed, someone's half-assed attempt at modern camouflage?
