Gary, I know what you mean about lack of sufficiently wide doors. I've got this planned for my front door -

I'm sure it will add value to the house, albeit to a fairly narrow niche market.
I have the perfect donor door to alter, just need the time ...

hi mate, yep that door definitely will add character and value to the house for sure and Brunhilde will be so content during those cold and hot days tucked up nice and cosy !

Isn't that an RS/RT door Charlie?
Still, one needs to cover the market!

Yeah, I thought it might be considered rude to exclude Brunhilde's non-nekkid friends.

I think we need some sort of confession about how-come it sat so long that RUST appeared in the cylinders!!

as for a confession regarding the rust , my old job took way to much much out of my riding time and when i busted my body well then i couldnt walk properly for a very long time so the old bm just sat around in the shed in semi- retirement. when i moved to where i am now the bike was loaded into a bike shipping crate and was moved with everything else and again bike was put inside the house for years. so thats the sad story of the BM ! but she will live again !
