Bikes In Your Garage Thread

VFR Pilot · 05-17-2007, 08:00 PM

Does your bike look like an aircraft in a hangar parked and ready to go?

Who has the coolest looking garage?

Cheers guys,

DD

I have 20 lbs of stuff in a 10 lb garage. Nothing is "ready to go". But, I can lay hand on any part or tool and after moving a half dozen items, I've got room to work on the next project.
Fortunately, I've got a seperate building to house the lathes, mills, welders, fab equipment and CNC Plasma system.
I could use another 2 or 3000 sq ft and a bunch of cabinets to clean up the mess I've got now.

I have too many bikes (nah that isn't possible) & tools in my garage !

Last night I was putting one in squeezing buy some others & bumped my hard bags lost balance & fell over pinned between 2 other bikes. Took me 20 mins to get my leg out & stand the F'r back up. no damage, but I was pissed.

Good thing I'm looking for a new house & a 5 car garage, My current 2.5 car garage is to small

Mine sits between the beer taps and a vintage VW.
the garage needs a bit of clean up but hmmm, ride or cold beer? Clean up takes a back seat sometimes.

nozzle · 07-18-2007, 03:42 PM

I'll take a pint of your garage IPA Dale. Thanks!

VFR Pilot · 08-12-2007, 03:33 PM

I can't get them all out without backing my car out, but I manage to squeeze them all into a tow car garage with both vehicles.

DUDE-you are my idol.......

I have that very 92 VFR and last month I saw a white 93 one for sale and thought about getting it.
I also want a ST 1300, 2005 model likely.

Dam,,,I saw your pics section but do you have anymore pics?Well Done.
What about your cars,is that a Z28 in the garage there with some other sedan with leather guts.

Nice post thanks,

DD

Here's my ride at home.

SLOav8r · 08-14-2007, 11:49 PM

I leave the kitchen door open so the bikes can feel like they're part of the house...

dlman · 08-15-2007, 07:39 AM

I hate to sound like a noob but what kind of bikes are those? And do I see 4 of them?

Not noobish at all, it's an assortment you usually don't see.

Just 3 bikes at the moment.
Back right: My 5th gen VFR
Back left: BMW K1200S (my roommate's)
Closest: Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird (community touring/track/project bike)
