I'm jealous too, my garage is small, and even smaller at the moment cos it's full of building stuff for a conservatory for my mum, so Tigger is away staying with friends.
Black 885i Tiger UK based
Orange 955i Tiger Canadian based
Norton 961S never got it, tired of waiting

Luxury!  That looks like one sweet garage.  Some serious work can be done in there.  

I have the property to build one about that size but "she who must be obeyed" will not go for it. My Man Cave is 12' x 8'.  Rebuilt a 75 CB750 in it last winter.





Not enough room for all the bikes so my Norton is stored in the part next door

Won't be long before that's bursting at the seams, they are never big enough  :lol:
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

It's already bulging at the seams and have only just moved the stuff in , 3 bikes are still sitting in the driveway waiting patienly to  have some room made for them  :ImaPoser

I have a 10x8 wooden shed in the back garden that was built by a mate as a favour at cost price. I really must get round to putting a path of some sort down as I have to ride/push my bikes over the grass at the moment :oops:  As well as holding my Tiger and my 95 speed triple its full of camping gear, lawnmower and all sorts of crap that tends to mount up despite clear out after clear out. Its usually a case of "Where can I put this?How about the shed?" One day it will all be mine to do what it was originally built for,a bike shed.

95 Speed Triple....  black???  The one that was based on the Trident???

I always thought it looked a thug of a bike and will deffo be a future classic.  Saw one in pretty much mint condition for £2.5k at the Ace Cafe last year and tried all ways to raise the cash but no luck.


No room in the garage either..... :roll:

Here you go.... what I wouldn't give for a double garage.  But it's a part of the house, so heated....

Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Nick Calne

Yes, that is oil on the rug by the way... :(

Nice place 'Stang!  I'm lucky.  I built my place for my business a number of years ago.  After my business grew too large and I needed warehouse space I got my "Man Cave"!  Went a good 10 years with most everything parked outside.  Granted I have to share it with the cars, etc. but I've got a three and a half car garage that's heated and set up as a shop.  It's so full now I can't imagine how I ran my business (with employees) out of it.
