Reader Blair M. recently sent a photo of his garage projects.
On the left is a 2008 Ducati 800SS, a rescue he picked up last year, is bringing back to life, and will sell on to finance a future VF1000R.
The middle bike looks like a track bike with its temporarily-mounted race slicks, but is actually a personal street bike project with 21,000 miles. Having sat for several years, Blair has lavished the VFR with lots of upgrades, including a modified swingarm, Ohlins shock, VTR1000 rear wheel and Hindle high-mount exhaust. On the front, a set of CBR600 forks grab a Ducati wheel with Brembo brakes.
On the lift is a VFR that Blair's had for ten years. Mostly stock with a nice Kerker pipe, it's due for a general mechanical refurbishment.
If that's not enough to keep him busy, Blair also has a bare, titled VFR750 frame waiting in the wings to be resurrected. My kind of guy.
