Here's mine: Unfinished SX200 and a bobber experiment. The GT200 and Karmann Ghia are pulled out to show the space. Note the overhead power and air (HIGHLY recommend stuffing your compressor in the rafters and putting it on a switch.)

Okay fine, Jess's garage sets the bar pretty high. Lets see who else cares more for their garage than the rest of the house.... Post 'em here.

Here's the southern wall of our garage, it's the best I can do until I get home tonight and can raid my files for photos....I don't do more than the most basic MC maintenance in the garage so I've made it a point to keep it devoid of anything not immediately relevent to the vehicles kept there... you know, stuff like giant model DC-3's and such.

We have two garages separated by a wall. The double bay is boring. Vehicle parking only and some storage (MINI Cooper and two Vespas). The single bay garage is where I spend all my time. This is where all service happens on all PTWs. It's a bit narrow and cramped but it's a handy work area.

Jeez - I hesitate to even post among such amazing work spaces.
We just moved into a town house with a tiny garage I suspect was built more to satisfy the city development folks than actually be capable of getting a car into. However, it fits a couple of scooters and a treadmill quite nicely! I wonder what I will do with that empty space in the middle... ![]() |

controlled chaos
not nearly as tidy as some, but I know where everything is (till I need it anyway) and can get everything I need to done in there.

+1 Sometimes things just don't look tidy because your shelves aren't like cabinets with doors to hide the contents. As long as you can find things that's all you need.
Last May I was 2000 miles from home and I needed a intake o-ring for my 1949 Harley. I called Debbie and told her to go to the garage and stand facing the south wall at the left end of the work bench... look up and take the package of o-rings off the nail on the wall and bring them to me (she was flying out to where I was for the weekend). I had the parts I needed two days later. It pays to know where things are in your garage -Craig |

the perks of not being a homeowner and living in London. Presenting, my "garage"
![]() very roomy, great airflow. AMAZING ACOUSTICS! ![]() easy access to tools, regardless of location. Wall to wall system allows for easy reach of the (bluetac'd on) extension lead. Finally....double doors :D

Built in 1920, unfortunately at the bottom of a rather log remodel list. I'm told the kitchen is first.

Here's the basement 'garage' I insisted on having during our recent renovation planning;
Of course it's now a woodworking shop for trim work with the scooters relegated back to the unheated garage for the duration of the finish work. ![]() ![]() Last edited by Harvey on Wed Feb 29, 2012 3:03 pm; edited 1 time in total |
