We've all seen the my shop is messy thread but what about us guys who don't have one? This is my version of a garage.  (Message edited by 12bolt on June 01, 2005) | ||

oh oh oh... guess i get to snap a couple shots of my non-garage.. pictures soon.. lol | ||
| Ted |
at least you can lock it up and you have a security system (the pointy ear type)  | ||

i have that same chair! that sure is a nice place for the bike even tho it's not a garage! is that swimming pool equipment in there? | ||

looks like a garage to me! I remember some shots in Hot Rod, I believe, with a builder (not Lil John Butera I don't think, but similar time frame) working in a driveway -- great work came off that hardstand -- adapt and overcome, 12bolt! looks like yer doin just that! | ||

The canvas is secondary to the paint placed upon it. As long as the roof don't leak you're good to go. Which reminds me, I have to reseal the roof again this summer, it was more like a sieve than a roof when we moved in. | ||

Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I like the way you suspended the bike from the roof. I use an engine hoist and straps to do the same thing. | ||

I use a medium duty ratchet strap thrown over my garage door opener to lift the rear end--works fine | ||
| Tripp |
only reason i asked is in case you keep your chlorine in there with your bike, it will cause premature rusting or rusting on parts that should'nt rust! | ||

Is that your dog? | ||

Better than the basement I rebuilt my engine in over the winter...but I have a real garage now, that was one of the key points in my searching for a house to buy. It's great! | ||

That garage is just right for a buell. I have a 24x24 with so much crap in it I don't have anymore room for my buell than you do. the bigger the garage the more stuff or junk you have in it  | ||

Mines 24X32 and I had my ruthless brother-in-law clean it for me this spring, the trick was get things off the floor and onto shelves, walls, and ceiling, and throw everything away that I didn't use in the last 5 years. Why the two pictures? Do you live in a temperate climate? Those work lights give off alot of heat on cold winter nights. | ||

Yeah the sheds water tight and built like a brick •••• house (built it myself) No pool supplies, those are paint buckets and other misc. crap. The pointy eared shed lock's name is Conan and he's a solid black German Shephard. I don't worry to much about the bike getting stolen with him around! | ||

I feel your pain. I have a barn in the back that I keep both bikes in. If I have to work on the bike, I strap it to the unused exercise equipment also in the barn. Hey, at least it has electricity, air and a radio, plus I finally found a use for that weight machine. | ||

12bolt, consider yourself lucky. Here is what I have. Before you freak out, I don't put my bolt in there.  | ||
| Tripp |
so much for my keen observation  | ||

Speaking of lifting the Buell, I raised mine high enough to change the rear tire by pulling the bike towards me until it was up on the kickstand. I then put a block of wood under the muffler. I did have a helper or two to steady things. This may be an old trick to some- but it works in a pinch. TT | ||

My bike lived on the front porch until a month ago, I got a 16'x25' two story barn, The Buell's, Harley, Suzuki and Yamaha are in Heaven. | ||

I have a double garage and a full height basement - , perhaps 60 X 20. It's a lot nicer than when I had to work in the driveway , or on the road or in an unheated garage. Dj's post below reminded me of assembling an RD250 in a small back bedroom , about 10 X 8 ,the wife wasn't too happy ! (Message edited by buelluk on June 02, 2005) | ||

I once helped a friend of mine rebuild an Oldsmobile engine in the living room of a condemned apartment building. We had to assemble the block and heads separately so we could carry them outside. It's the only time I ever worked in a garage that had carpets. | ||

If I recall Erik started building his first racer in a shed also, look where he is today! | ||

Dj, Last year I rebuilt a 302 for my mustang in the dining room. It was great, heated, fridge full of beer close and you could watch TV or listen to the radio while you were working. I just laid down some plywood and rolled the engine stand in through the french doors. | ||
| 12bolt |
Ingimar, could be worse! I wouldn't hesitate to lock my bolt in that shed, I might be a little worried about hanging it from the ceiling though! (Message edited by 12bolt on June 02, 2005) | ||

Carpet is nice! Keeps the feet tosty in the winter months! |
