Yeah, a custom tool box. Look up antique carpenter tool boxes, they
Are awesome!

how about a fork support?
I made a redneck one in about 5 minutes, but it is just a 2x4 cut to length, rounded at the tire, and with a hole in it so I can hang it on the garage wall.
But you could make it a bit more complicated -

Maybe some sort of wall mounted coat hanger to hang your gear, with spots specifically built to hold your helmet, gloves, boots etc. The possibilities are endless.

thanks for the help,i like the idea of a cool toolbox and a gear holder.i'll probably get told its too simple though,coz its for my exams and they mark hard.anything harder (and they supply the wood so cost of wood aint a problem

A box with a hinged lid to put your chemicals/spare parts in, with grab handles to pick it up, that doubles as a seat. Just a thought off the top of my head.

I knew a guy who made him a wooden dirt bike once, and guess what... it wooden go!!
But seriously, the trusty toolbox should be a good one, you can make it as simple, or as complex as you want.

This a a cool idea. You can make several compartments, drawers and tool locations. Use dove tail and biscuit joint, no one will tell you it's too easy.
