I will be moving to my new house beginning of next week. We pretty much bought it because of the already built workshop. Pics to come in a few days!

That's what sold me on our house...

+1........3.5 car garage works for me, 1 space for car, 2.5 for shop & bikes!

The house has a 2 car attached, and there is a detached shop. 30x40ft, a/c, heat, 3 240V outlets and plumbing!

Here's an updated pic of the garage, where most of the magic happens.

The "bike bed" is up against the wall now, with a hook just above it so if it does get knocked it won't completely fall over. I can lay it down if I need to do any serious work.

This is my latest addition to the garage:

It was given to my dad, who restored it. Then my mum said he couldn't keep it (out of space

) so I bought it off him. Best we can figure is the parts are from the 40s-50s. It sounds like a couple of ducks having an argument when it is running.

your mum are vise.

The tank has been in use for that long as well. It was made by pro welders. Only goes to 100PSI anyway. And it is outside.

I love old tools too Evan, especially tools I inherited from my dad and Grand dad, but be careful mate, the older they are, the more dangerous they become. Cheers, Terry.

This was shop set up in Florida this last winter. Primitive, but you have to do, what you have to do!

Steve-o gets all wet in the armpits over anything with a stripe on the tank...it could be a Kawasaki triple...

Ha ha
Now come on Terry that was harsh, cruel, unnecessary and uncalled for - although if he put a lot of cash my way to sweeten the deal I might consider it.

Then again, I could always just scour the countryside for piles of junk, bring it all home and try and make a bike out of it

That's not a shop. It's a cavern!

Haha. It does need better lighting, actually! You can't see all of it in the pictures but, I also have a bathroom and a finished room for my gear. (~1500 sq ft)

That is a sweet workshop mate, a bathroom, and 2 Urinals!

Ahhhhhh! You're always out to get me sir! haha. One is mine, the other isn't.
