Mark and Paul,
The new digs look amazing... although disturbingly well lit and clean.  Congrats on the move!

Thanks Carrie,

Can't do anything about the light until I bring my pellet gun down, but working on dirtying it up post haste.

Could you please hurry up and spill some oil on the deck?  What are you eating lunch off that thing?

This is mine right now, too much junk in there to work. 75F, 70K that are mine, 76 wing and 77k project on the stand are my brothers. Rear engine dragster under the tarp and behind that 1/2 of a wrecked 76F a 70k chopper 73k parts bike and 77f parts bike. I roll the 3 running bikes outside to make room but I need to dissassemble the 70 for paint and finishing. Oh to the left out of the picture is a 68 chevelle I am working on for someone else. I think I'm going to build a shed for the stuff I am waiting to use.

Here are some pictures of my shop.  I've built it from the ground up with the exception of the plumbing and electrical.  It started as a shop for my ex who is a finish carpenter... The house is mine, so now I'm finishing it for myself as a motorcycle shop.  It has a utility room and bathroom and could potentially be turned into a master bedroom if I ever sell it.  

And yes, it's a mess right now... it's a work in progress.  I'll post more pics when there are bikes in there.

Er, tiny!  I only have one bike after all!  My little 1924 bungalow is only 900 sqft and I added 400 more... a whopping 1300 sq ft.

        I can echo the "Tiny", my place is about the same size. Don't remember exactly, but less than 1,000 square feet and I don't have an expansion. :-\ Got to much stuff AND only a 1 car garage, a 12 x 14 building, a small wooden structure that once was a playhouse and they ALL are full! Fact is, I've got 4 bikes sittin under covers, in front of the garage. That's why I've got to do some major thinning out. Don R's place looks GOOD compared to mine, I have to roll out the CBX, just to TRY to walk through MY garage. Funny how things accumulate. Just can't figure out how that happens. ??? ::)
Must be that "Gotta Get It Itus"! :o

      Got to give you credit for what you've done with your place AND the plans you have. You should have a really decent setup, when you're done. Got a great start on it. 8) ;)   

                                   Take care and Good Luck, Bill ;)

Alright, don't laugh too hard, but here it is...

I am planning on trying to find a house with a shed or garage to rent... But in the mean time, I am working outside! I laugh every time I look at that table!!! It was built to be strong not pretty!!!  ;D

Its sturdy enough. Definitely not ideal, though. Soon enough I will have a suitable spot to work. But for now, I will use what I got.  OK, OK... Its not strong OR pretty. But it will do the job... Once I am through with it, I will post a video of me jumping up and down on it. I am 250lb, so if it will break, it will break then. Hence why I will wait til I am through with it.  ;D

I really like this thread and get a chance to look at other folks shops! Mine is pretty cluttered!
Here's some pix.

The first shot is a 1976 Honda CB550K. Just got it for free. Started working on it to get it running.
The second picture is a 1976 Honda CB550F. Bought it new. That's a 1975 Chevy Luv truck behind it. It has a 327 small block Chevy with a narrowed 12 bolt Chevy rear. Bought that new also.
Fianally the last shot is a 1993 Harley Wide Glide. As you can see...not too much spce left over.
The 550K is only inside for brief repairs; the tarp is behind it. It stays outside for now. It's in the wifes parking space right now!
I want to die like my grandfather did...in his sleep and not screaming like the passengers in his car!

The back room of my house - the '73 750 and welding equipment is against the wall out of shot. Beats the front porch in the blazing heat or freezing cold.
