More Brick Shed than Garage, UK

[Gringo_ringo]

Hi All, been lurking on here for a while, thought i'd stick up a couple of pics of my tiny workshop.

As many of you will know space in the UK is at a premium, hence our "compact and bijou" work space. Myself and my dad have a further 2 small ish wooden sheds for gardening stuff and other bikes.

Both of us are mad on motorbikes, i used to be a race mechanic for a small independant tuning shop and build custom bikes as a hobby.

I dont have many pictures as theres not much to see and its not very big....

Currently looks like this (after a big tidy up last weekend, believe it or not)

And currently houses

My Suzuki RG125/RM250 Hybrid track bike

and my pride and joy.. GSXR1216 Streetfighter

The gsxr was featured in the July edition of Streetfighters magazine in the UK.

As i say its not much but theres always plenty going on in there.

Thanks for looking

Chris

You can't confuse quality with quantity.....

VERY nice looking bikes.....and you have a vertical mill.....shoved into that small space....most guys have garages 4x bigger and no mill...

At least you have a pub within walking distance....

Thanks,

We do have a (rather expensive) pub in walking distance, how did you know?

Because there is ALWAYS a pub within walking distance in the UK....

Besides...my wife is English...from Preston....and I lived in Scotland for about 2 years (x was Scottish)....been to the UK 'many' times....and have family down in Guilford and London.

Cheers....

BTW....what is a pint up to now? Last year it was 3.50....when I was in Scotland back in the 70's....a pint was about 50p.....and the chippers used real news paper....

Ah i see, yep almost guaranteed walking distance



Depends where you are, Midlands is £2.80 - £3.80/90 ish

London you're talking £4+

The vertical mill was a bargain - £100, its been very usefull for making yokes and brackets etc.

Just finished some swingarm extensions for a mate.
