Here's mine.

When I built the house recently, I wanted one just like my Dad had when I was a kid. Indoors, warm and big enough to work on stuff.

The down side is that my bike has more dog hair in it than I care to think about $:-\$

Here she is! Now all I need is a heater and a toilet and I could live out there. Oh, and cable.

Should I post a picture of the Garage, the airconditioned work area, or the Hanger?

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #3 on:** September 09, 2005, 08:46:25 PM »

Sorry about the mess men, as we have pretty much "year around" riding weather here in Oz, we don't get much time to clean up........... Cheers, Terry.

Kghost... my wife works in a Hospital too,
But she won't let me bring my bikes in there for a photo shoot.

hahaha.... yeah, I'm jelous too.
My shop's such a mess right now I can't get the bike into it. I'm going to have to clean it up soon for winter.

Hmmmm, If I post a picture of the hanger will I get hate mail?

Cvillechopper · « **Reply #10 on:** September 10, 2005, 07:04:30 PM »

If I had that much room I would just clutter it up to the same available 5 x 8 space I have now. You can't see the washer, dryer, gas furnace, or gas water heater in the pic.

Damn it Terry, I think theres a F gas tank hangin on your wall.

Steelo · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2005, 07:49:02 PM »

Bloody Hell TERRY!!!!

Now I know why there are no bloody 750's in the wreckers in Australia - they all get sent to your place to be placed in parts inventory!!!

That's right Tim, that was the original tank that was on the bike when I bought it. (actually it's an F1 tank with the bigger petcock mount) When I brought the bike home I poured gas in the tank, and it poured out of about 10 rust holes. Then I bought the tank from a guy in New York (on Ebay) and it had two holes in it, (a PO had used a PK screw to pull out a ding and filled the holes with bondo) so I brazed them up and painted it up with new decals etc, and now it's rusted out too. Geez, I hope I have better luck with yours! Cheers, Terry.

G'Day Steelo, there's a few bits there mate, there was a lot more but I built that K1 entirely out of parts, and I've got most of the parts for my "Racer" project now, the pics only show about half of the garage, but it's such a mess I didn't want to show you all what a grot I am, ha ha! Cheers, Terry.

'ere's the barn where I keep the good stuff hidden away. The tools are for the occasions when I work on a Harley...

Ok, Here's the other side of the operation.

Sorry, It took about 15 pics...................

Damn Tim
Nice glider there,what kind of frame mods are you making on the bike to actually get the plane engine to fit

Here`s my home away from home.

Hey great thread gentlemen! Heres me. Its really not that dark, my flash is out. Terrible pics I know.

6pkrunner · « **Reply #20 on:** November 03, 2005, 07:09:20 AM »

I built mine in 1992 as a 30 x 40. In 1997 I added 15 feet to the back and made a second floor to make a 40 x 45 building. At that time I put a hatch in the fllor large enough to raise and lower automotive engines. Now that I got the bike bite bad, I'll have to expand it to allow bikes to be raised and lowered. I work on the bikes on the second floor and its too much of a pain yanking bikes up and down stairs.

These shots are from a few years ago. The house and garage are now a blue color. And I don't have any good bikeshop photos on this machine.

OK, remind me again - what is the prize for the messiest garage? I think I have the winner.

When I need to do any work on the bike, I have an elderly neighbor with a 2 car garage and no cars. Lots of space there.

I don't have anything special, just a two-car garage here in sunny Fla. But I built a shed in the spring and moved a lot of junk in there (including some nice five-spoke Kawasaki rims I got for free.

OK. Mine is not as messy as some, once I remove the wife's TO-DO trash....
Currently garage is holding 6 mc's under restoration, others staying outdoors
as I haven't the $ to build a 120x30 building, or move the other bikes out of
the back yard. Yet.
