Man Cave (aka Garage)

Bweiss what is the little bike peeking out in front of the BMW?

 

Did you make the stock exhausts bikes park on the right side of the garage? lol Thats a cool photo.

 

Its a '68 Suzuki B100P that im trying to find the time and money at the same time to restore. Doesn't need much, mostly just polishing and paint, and a new headlight bucket. I need to try to unfreeze the front forks, but other than that, gas and ride...

 

Norcal, that's a sweet set up. Its so much easier to work in a nice clean, organized environment.

 

Snapped a quick, shitty pic this morning before work. Does not do it justice.

First of all, it's a fucking disaster right now. Building the VFR Track Bike right now and working on a handful of other bikes at the same time, so there are bikes, parts and boxes everywhere. It's way bigger than the cell pic makes it look and I usually don't have this many bikes in here. That's 24' of suspended mini-bike shelves on the right, they can detach in 8’ sections and fold down against the wall if needed (I didn’t want any posts hindering moving and parking bikes). I have approx. 16’ of workbench on the left with drawers and storage shelves below. On my right just in view, is about 20’ of ceiling high shelves and storage. The door in back goes to the office, which is the width of that back wall, with built in desk and drawer areas and has shelves of motorcycle toys, some trophies, more artwork and the computer networking equipment for the shop and house. Our living room flat screen is getting replaced soon and will go above the door. Shop is insulated and heated and has a surround sound system.

This is the inner shop and is accessed through a garage door on the back of the outer “2 car” sized shop in front. It has the sandblast cabinet and the compressor room with a 220 outlet and ceiling fan that vents outside for the occasional weld. 220 is also ran to the inner shop if needed. Copper ran from compressor room to a couple air outlets in shop. No high ceilings in outer shop, but a pull down ladder provides access to attic storage and has one whole wall of ceiling high shelving. There is still enough room to pull the Suburban in and do a tire rotation with the door closed (with heat and music).

 

^ Well since you're just up the street, I should come visit this museum.

 

I'd love to see some more pictures of that 5th gen with the two blue, red, and white paint job!

 

^ I was going to say he needs a 4th gen in that bunch.

 

Ask and you shall receive!

 

Is that nice shiny burgundy one in the back ground Marrib's trailered bike?

 

Why yes! Thanks exactly what it is! Great spot Randy!

 

It was the first SLO ride (pre R3) that I came to. April '08 maybe?

 

Found it! It was in my SLO III folding in photobucket, so whenever that was...

 

:smile-new: Can I be your friend? Nice and clean setup.

I'm new around here, hello everyone!

This is what I am working with... :shame:

 

Here's where I usually work on my bikes. Just enough room to get my car in there. Getting everything in and sorted is like playing a game of Tetris!

 

You're a dork R.

 

Not everyone agrees with you on that. Maybe most, but not everyone.

 

I was looking for that one in the forums. But got called away for an appointment. That would be May 2010. The white one up in the top left corner is mine and I hadn't had the decals put on until just before the 2012 trip. Didn't go 2011. That is one big assed thread!
