Let's see your Garage / Shop

Yeah, I'm with Desmo. Unless theres a magic wall switch that lets the pool table slowly recess into the floor and two moto stand spring up in it's place. That would be cool.
 
Well my ex wife got to keep my house and old man cave so this is the new garage I still don't have room for wrenching because of all the bikes and quads. So basically I have the same problem as before.

I was single forever (so it seemed) was worth the wait found a Bad Ass Woman ....she'd let me have a bike here on the 3rd floor I would just rather not bother.....It helps to bring the small one in first say aww look how cute it is (takes up as much space as that table we got rid of)..... then you can figure out your floor plan
 
Second flipswitch's comment there. My lovely wife doesn't even allow garage clothes in the house except to get them washed.

I have a very modest 20' x 14' single car garage that I rebuilt on existing slab. Enough room to park a car or work on a bike, but not both at the same time.
 
Some day... I WILL have my cave. For now the garage is a strip of asphalt, a garden shed, an extension cord out a basement window and a couple tarps 8)

HAHAH. That dogs rules...

Thats exactly what my parents garage looks like when I go over there to work on the bike. Parts and tools strewn all over.
Somehow the bikes magically get put back together and run ;)

Yep. Me too. I will forever be storing things in my Dad's garage.
 
Nice rattpunk I had the same garage only with a gravel floor. Will have picks of my new digs next month

This isn't exactly a garage, per se. Just a couple of weeks ago a handful of friends and myself went on on an 1100 square foot space downtown and converted it to a private shop for ourselves. It's so nice having a dedicated workspace.

Forgive the mediocre photos, I was using my camera's crappy on-board flash for most of them.

This is the first floor/main work area:

Double metal doors make moving bikes in and out a breeze.

View from the door. Couple Hondas, Swan's (of Gold Star restoration fame) Triton, and a Yamaha RT1. There's a couple residents missing or out of frame.

Francoise Hardy and my CB360 currently on the lift. Excellent investment.

Most importantly...

Basement:
Big trap door leading downstairs.

Room 1. Couple of CB frames/rolling chassis, light storage, and small woodworking area.

View from the other side. Some parts bikes and a compressor for the lift upstairs.

Room 2, through the door in the preceding photo. Currently unused by us, but will likely just be additional storage. Lots of junk in there that is not our doing.

Finally another (also currently unused) room way in the back (technically front) of the basement.

Dang bwald,
Thats awesome! And a ton of space

Thanks, we're still moving in but it's great to have a space that has few distractions and is dedicated strictly to bikes. Unfortunately, the main work area isn't that huge considering there are five people sharing the space. The front half of the building is a friend's music studio, so we don't have the entire first floor. As long as everything stays clean and we each try to minimize our footprint, it should work out though.
 
That place looks awesome. You said it's downtown somewhere? Must have cost a fortune...

That's actually one of the best parts. I asked my boss some time ago why he decided to move back to this town to open his business. His response was "where else that's not a total shithole can I start my own business, buy a building downtown, and a houseboat for less than $200,000?" Housing is pretty cheap here. Split five ways, renting this space costs us each $64 plus our share of the utilities per month.
