Garage is My Happy Place

Got a 1987 Honda CB750 that I'm slowly restoring. Some days after work I just go sit in the garage and tinker on it even if I'm not making progress. There's something about the quiet and the work that just clears my head.

My 9 year old has started hanging out with me out there and asking questions about how things work. I love watching him get interested in it. We're already talking about teaching him to ride when he's old enough. Garage time is our time and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

The garage is definitely the dad sanctuary. Totally get why you just need to sit out there and decompress after work. That's your reset button.

A 1987 CB750? That's a beautiful bike. How much longer you thinking until it's road ready?

Fellow garage guy here. There's something therapeutic about working on old machines. Do your kids get interested in what you're doing, or is it your quiet space?
