I took a recent photo of the garage (after i spent half a day cleaning it up). My wife keeps hinting that she would like to park her car in there in the winter, so i bought her a new car and it will stay outside!
Inside the garage are a 400F cafe, a 76- 750 supersport, a GS 1100 Suzuki, an 84 Wing and a 82-550 XT yamaha. There are a few missing ( 38 Indian Chief and a 48 BSA M21) as they are in my shop at work. There are also two 550-4 hondas that are sitting out in the elements. These were bought in a moment of weakness when the local bike wrecker said he was going out of business. I just couldn't let them go to the crusher.
i am trading the yahama for a running 550-4 that has been in a garage for the last 30 years. i have not seen the bike in person but the pictures are great, this bike should be in a museum. it has 2514 miles on the clock. Can't wait to pick it up ( oct 12). I'll send pictures then.

Park her car in the garage? HA! What will women think of next?

Seriously, next to jewelry, putting a car in the garage is a luxury most women can appreciate. Especially if they haven't had the chance before. JMO

I have been working on dividing up my shop all summer. I built a 15 foot long wall and a 16 food sliding door. Lots of paint and cleaning. i hope to be able to put a ga$ line to my shop for heat this winter. Just adding TV , Stereo , and play station for friends to play with while we work on the bikes.

Last winter

Very nice, and good lighting, too. Always been one of my peeves since working in my parents' garage on various things. That place was like a dungeon compared to what you got there.

Here is my little slice of the shop. Its a big garage with 7 guys pitching in and everyone gets their own bay.
A little bit of the collection too. The Hawk I got for $100, the KZ550 I got for $130, and the scooter I won in a raffle.

fastbroshi · « **Reply #331 on:** November 08, 2009, 01:04:59 PM »

Here's mine, I just cleaned up a bit.

WoooHOOO

I just got the heat installed in my shop. it took three weeks of me and my buddy digging to get the gas line back there but it will be worth it this winter

Here is it in all its clutter.

You guys with the immaculately clean workshops clearly have too much time and too few projects!

Gordon · « **Reply #334 on:** November 08, 2009, 05:18:15 PM »

Now that's MY kind of garage! Parts and all kinds of crap hanging in the rafters and on the walls! I love it!

Yeah I should get a shot of just all the crap that's in the rafters. The stuff hanging on the wall are parts from my '67 Mustang. The rolling shell is at the body shop now. It'll be months until it's done so I have the 750 to keep me company until the Mustang comes back.

All you guys with garages, I am so, so jealous

I have nothing to store my bike in and no where to work on it to call my own........but mark my words someday I will have a sweet, heated garage with at least 3 bikes in it. Checkin out this thread is good inspiration, keeps my eye on the prize!

fastbroshi · « **Reply #337 on:** November 09, 2009, 06:51:52 PM »

I love the looks of that Tron bike, too cool...me, I'm jealous of the guys that have the garages separate from the house. They're always bigger it seems and they can make all kinds of racket in there and not bother anybody.

New shop. Sublet (I think) from Paulages. I'll let him post shots of his own part of the shop, if he wants.

My tools are over on the table... I don't have a big tool box. Luckily the other people in the shop have tools for me to borrow if I need them.
Seldom need more than I have, though.

That'll do pig, that'll do. Oops, wrong forum.

Those Honda tools should work... unless you don't want to taint them.

paulages · « **Reply #347 on:** December 08, 2009, 10:41:50 PM »

got a crappy cell phone picture of my part of the shop:

we just moved this weekend, and after cleaning out the old shop i finally got set up more or less. VERY happy with the new space. and heat. i signed a three year lease, so at least we'll have a little while in this one.

mlinder · « **Reply #348 on:** December 09, 2009, 07:20:57 AM »

Here's another one of your space, Paul, and Merle, too!

paulages · « **Reply #349 on:** December 09, 2009, 11:02:45 AM »

that would be before i started calming the chaos. nice merl pose, though.
