Bronson's Garage

[Bronson]

Hi guys, I realized that I have LOTS of pics of My projects, but not really pics of My shop/Man Cave (I hate that term). Not sure if I know how to post pics,here goes.......

 

[Bronson]

OK, I guess that worked, kind of....a couple more.

 

[Bronson]

I built the shop in 04-05 so I have been moved in for a while. I collect oil and gas stuff, and some aviation, so the place is getting full. It is a Mueller building, 30 x 40 with 10 ft sidewalls. I had the spray foam insulation installed, then I went back and wired it , and added sheetrock, painted white. Friend keep giving Me posters, signs, etc, so the walls are about covered. All the bikes in the pics are mine, although I do some outside work. Here are some signs I have....

That looks like a museum, not a garage! Very nice.

Believe me, it is a shop that looks like a museum. I am currently restoring/modifying 6 bikes. I need more room!

Then came Bronson with his cool shop.

When you run out of wall space, send your friend to ...

Very nice shop you have there. Is the big red cycle an Indian?

 

[Bronson]

Hi Chris, ever been to Rising Star? I practically grew up there!

Nice shop Bronson. I have too many bike projects and not enough room as well.

Recently finished this 79 Yamaha 650 Street Tracker. Still gonna put on different tires and a fork brace. And last week, a "new" 71 Triumph 650 Tiger.

 

[Bronson]

Should this thread be in Free Parking? Sorry!

Is that a Garand hanging from the ceiling?

Not a Garand. Looks like a bolt action of some sort. Japanese?

 

[Rich]

Cool shop! It looks like you do nice work too...love the Tiger...and the Indian.

 

[flybefree]

Dude, what a shop! Love the memorabelia, love the red indian...heck I don't even really like motorcycles but I like your shop.

Wow that is an awesome setup you have there. I love all the signs. The motorcycles are awesome as well!

 

[dave67fd]

Nice shop, love the RCA dog. I think you need more stuff. lol

 

[Bronson]

The two rifles hanging from the ceiling are from Iwo Jima. My Dad spent 30 plus days there as a 17 year old marine Sniper. They are Model 38 Arisaka, with the intact markings....I also have the Fatigue jacket he wore hanging there, they were in a closet but i figured, what the hell bring them out. I have quite a few South Pacific souvenirs Dad brought back. He was very severly injured when he was 18 and was buried with Japanese shrapnel still in His legs, at 68.

Nice shop, love the RCA dog. I think you need more stuff. lol

There is quite a story behind the RCA Dog. Google Elvis, 1956. Arrest.

 

[Bronson]

Tough duty to live in My shop.

 

[sids04]

Wow ! Nice place

 

[luvit]

Thank you.
I did not even notice the l/h rifle till you mentioned it in your reply. I bet your Dad had a fair few stories to tell.

Great space

You could squeeze a few more in there.
Things are always bigger in Texas!

 

[sscustom]

awsome bikes

 

[Bronson]

Here is another, one of My favorites. 1969 Honda Mini Trail Z-50AK-1. I got this one in zip lock baggies and cigar boxes. The bike i learned to ride on!

 

[flybefree]

Bronson...I learned to ride on a Honda Mini-trail! My goodness I loved that little bike...my boy is going on three and I am looking for one to teach him to ride on. I saw one at a pawn shop not long ago, went home to grab some cash and it was gone before I got back. Thanks for posting that.

Shaun

 

[Bronson]

Shaun, I lost a bunch of them, before I got this one, in a thousand pieces. The later years are not too hard to find. I wanted a 69 because that is what I learned to ride on. By the time I finished it, I had almost $4000 in it. I turned down ridiculous money for it at a bike show.....Yes, Your Boys NEED one!

 

[Bronson]

Nice shop, love the RCA dog. I think you need more stuff. lol

I do need more stuff. I am still waiting for My "Stimulus" check!
Y'all have only seen a little of My toys. I like toys.

Mine was a 1970 model that I got when I was 9. Gold with white trim. Couldn't kill it. That thing got handed down to my little brother, then sold off to another family, handed down again, etc. Rugged, fun little bikes.

Nice garage my friend, your father had balls of brass.


Semper Fi.

That looks like a museum, not a garage! Very nice.

I seen museums that didn't look that nice

Thank You, Sir. That truly was the Greatest Generation. Semper Fi!

 

[Bronson]

I seen museums that didn't look that nice

Part Museum, part shop, full time hangout!

 

[344chief]

Cool (museum) garage!

Our cat loves to sneak around in the garage, but I doubt she would ever dare to jump up on the seat All the cats in the neighbourhood runs for their life when I fire up the bikes
How do you like the torque evener/ cushion drive on that beautiful '46 chief ?

I'm restoring a '47 chief at the moment, and have access to a torque evener(the factory version, not the powerflow(?) accessory).

 

[Bronson]

Hi Chief! I was amazed when I finally rode the bike for the first time. I guess I expected a rough and jerky ride. It is really smooth,and comfortable, at highway speeds. Almost as smooth as My Electra-Glide. It sure takes some concentration, operating spark advance with left hand, throttle right, clutch with the foot, and brake with other foot! I love it. Got pics of Your 47? I would love to see them!
