Storage Rack build

Threw a rear bumper rack on this week, much more work than anticipated to make it strong enough to carry logs, generator, bike, etc.

I think it will hold over 500 pounds

Excellent Dred! --- And I'm guessing your motorcycle ramp fits right over it all. One question...do you have a means for securing that genny?

Still using the elevator for the moto, much safer loading, and now much more room in the garage sans bicycle

And I did build a modified ramp that fits easily inside next to the elevator

I have a nice selection of cables and locks for all my valuable stuff, but still plan to tarp it to keep attention off of it for those with technique, tools and boldness
