Howdy! Decided to come over from the Honda site to keep up with some Yamaha topics. Selling the Honda and am rejuvinating a 1978 DT100 with 1060 miles on it. Barn find and it looks like it will slick up well. All I have to do is dismantle a few parts (carb, mainly.) It has been sitting in a barn for 21 years with GAS IN IT! I know the job I will be facing in getting all the crud out of the carb and tank. Anyway, I'm 81 and have been riding since I was 12. Lots of bikes and scooters down the road that I have barked my knuckles on. Gerald

That's really good Drewps. My old Mini had an agreed value with the insurance company and takes so much stress away for any such incidents.

I managed a project that had some Linac bunkers and kit a couple of years ago. Some of the concrete was about 5 feet thick. For plan B; please see below. There were a couple of old shed bases already there so I have built up a step - albeit a big step - about 10 inches higher that the surrounding garden to allow for enough depth above these so it won't crack. I already have ali ramps to get bikes in and out. The first part laid was solid and the last part was still possible to float so I did some. I am not really fussed as the slab will be three quarters covered by two sheds anyway. The last quarter is to be able to work on stuff outside. No power floater, just me!! Anyway, plan B. Garage grade flooring. I will just make sure that the concrete isn't too high or low before I lay them. I have to seal the areas where the doors open and have a rubber sealing strip waiting already. This is to stop any water from coming in under the doors ( 1 personal door and a set of 7 feet wide double doors). I have ordered some bits to go into the workshop and they should be arriving next week. It's amazing how much I can get with just a little T shirt money
