I'm sure there are tons of pics available to illustrate why one should lay out a plan before grabbing the hacksaw. The images below show just 3 projects that were started without a clear plan and then were abandoned.

Im the owner of the first project. Still have it. Not poor planning but life gets in the way sometimes. I also have a small business, kids and other motorcycles that steal my time.

Building something comes with unforseen obstacles. Changes some plans and stalls others. You have to be flexible and try to think ahead. Cheers!
love building motorcycles one headache at a time
