Ok then, and forgive me Mr Viper for moving on this quickly as it was your suggestion, but we have recently had a few pics of garage rebuilds and insulation going in and general "peeps" of ones garage when taking photos of other stuff ... like flashing lights and extensions and electrical stuff .... so here is your chance to show us all what you have behind that door, or doors, or rolling door or gate or ......

So, leading from the front, here we go .....



Bike, of course, with panniers on for you purists ! .... weights and kit with mountain bike down the side and certificates on the wall ... moving across, Optimate 4, always,  and kit on the side hanging up and ready to go ...



Arai helmet and Shoei in the bag ( didn't like it ) with plenty of ear plugs, Garmin Box and a pile of warm weather stuff ... balaclavas and long sleeved tops etc .... then jackets and jeans hanging up and boots on the floor ... it's all hanging on a "BIKER TIDY" that I saw at the NEC bike show a few years ago ... strong metal hangers and shelves, bang it into the wall and everything is just where you want it.

And lastly, look away now Asif ......




So, that's mine .... It would be nice to clear out some of the stuff at the back, wifes' gardening bits and put in some more power for tea and stuff, and, after looking at Coneys recent antics a bit of insulation in the roof etc ..... Come on then ... get your camera out  :smiley: :smiley:

O.C.

Just been out and taken a couple with the little Hero Go Pro camera because I thought it would do the job...but they're fairly  :shit: really

I'll get some better ones in the daylight,,,and excuse the mess  :embarrassed:

That's not a shed, more like a house!

my garage is in a bit of a mess at the monent :sad: my eldest daughter as just moved into here own house and I've still got most of her rubbish in mine :angry: but what can one do!! also my garage was double the size than it is now. I agreed to extend our kitchen to more than twice it's size, but because we did not want to loose any more garden we extended into the garage side ways and lenght ways which took approx 12ft square of the garage.

I'll photograph mine tomorrow when it's light but so far I'm disgusted at the tat in Rusty's garage, weights, punchbags, pedal cycle! For God's sake man, get a grip, youv'e got a motorbike, get rid of all that surplus crap......


And as for Old Coneys 'garage'.. and I use the term garage loosely! You could sell that to some Yuppies in London and retire to Barbados for the rest of your life.  :mfr_lol:

Rusty

Coney ... you have it from me ... that is a great garage, a true bikers garage ... lifts,tools,bikes .. it has it all in there !! and that insulated roof !!
2Kwacks the same .. all those wires .. looks like a sort of non bikers torture chamber .. I love it.

Mr Wolf .. you are so right. I have recently taken down, before it fell down, our very old conservatory, or what was really a "lean to", which, as you guessed right, housed my weights, mountain bike and all the other shite that is in there now .... if I had my way there would be nothing in there that was NOT bike related .... flat screen TV with bike videos playing 24/7, posters, tea and coffeee makings ... some mugs ! ... a Chesterfield ..... oh how the list goes on  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

Mr Coney whats that orange skeleton holding the wall up? :undecided:
What would you rather be   or a wasp?

That's not a garage or a shed...

With a bit of tidying, that's the ultimate Bachelor Pad.

Just need 50" TV, Playstation and Leather reclining chair and I would be in heaven.

Its a 1972 Kawasaki F6a (125cc), which I'm restoring, hopefully to this standard, which is one that I owned before, and then sold to a very nice gallic chap

Olde, would you mind telling me, how much would you be selling that for in a restored condition (approximately).

And one done, would you be interested in selling?

They are a bit of a rarity Neil, most people used them as a hack bike and then left then to gently rust away at the end of the day. But they aren't everyones cup of tea and as such not very saleable.

The one you see in the picture was restored to original condition and I sold it for just short of £2,000 about 2 years ago.

The one I'm planning to start work on is planned to be a time filler (when I've got nowt else to do) so probably wouldn't be completed until next year sometime, I have a brand new engine and lots of other N.O.S components for it so it will be a bit special....

Would I sell it.......well I don't honestly know at this stage.

It'll suffice for the time being. We are looking for a new house and I've stipulated a double garage at the absolute minimum!
