it's finished now but you'll have to wait for more pics as these are all I have on the laptop and the rest of my stuff is still packed
loks great, im jealous.
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.
Damn . .
I ALMOST built another 2 car garge BEHIND the existing . . .
but I didn't.
Looks good Mustang . . kinda drafty though!

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

wait until we get settled in (just moved in to my dad's and to help him out and take care of him he has a bad heart and is 80 years along )and I show off the rest of the pics.
Won't be long before that's bursting at the seams, they are never big enough :lol:
Quote from: "Sin_Tiger"Won't be long before that's bursting at the seams, they are never big enough :lol:
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....

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.
An open carport with covered extension. Tiger and V-strom have to share space with a Jeep, car and golf cart.

NICE!
I've had to get creative and find a way to stuff our cages and bikes in the same single door 2 car garage.
My neighbor has a 2 door 2 car garage and has plenty of room to park 2 cars and park bikes along the side. If I get another bike I'm going to have to get even more creative.

Hey, you'll have a great excuse to build a real bike den. :D
I'd dump a car!

That was my first thought, but she didn't like having to park outside :)
My 'Man Place' ... sanctuary for sure!!

I have also built a 10 x 13 metal shed behind, which has helped no end in clearing up some space.[/img]
Here's a few pics of the inside of the tiger den

Those are my 45 year old GI Joe Collection , you'd be surprised at what just one of those guys is worth with unbroken gear . (http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee47/2uoykcuf/emoticons/cashwallet.gif)
Quote from: "macgart"Nice den Mustang. I like the military photos, did you serve?
If your referencing whats in the wood/glass case.... those are Military Ken Dolls not photo's. First day it was posted it took me a couple looks to catch that.
edit... oops... I see Mustang got his answer up while I was typing.

ahhhhhh so now we know what you got hiding in your closet :eusa_clap :hat10
here's mine
nice GI joe collection. I had green beret and two 'grunts'.
Kid down street had GI Jerry and GI jap...we used the GI Jap for a VC and put him in black PJs...well that was long long ago...but Nice collection.
My Missus gave me a kettle for the garage then a toaster, last time I questioned why she needed two microwaves I was told "just in case you need one for the garage" too thick to take the hint :roll:
Had to build mine, originally sized to take two classic Range Rovers side by side, now I have so much gear "waiting for me to fit it" that I can only get one in and just squeeze the Tiger in at the end.
Sin - Does that take your (internationally distributed) vehicle count to 6?
And is that a CSK?
