This all Reminds me, many years ago in the Army, I was overseas and had purchased an old ex police Harley Davidson. Many foreign countries used Harley’s in the 50’s to 70’s.
It was winter and I didn’t want it in plain view in the motor pool while I worked on it. So I put it in the small boiler room behind the shop and started the restoration. It was very cramped, but nice and warm.
