Harley Garage..pics

[Gunslinger]

Hi....new guy here. I'm a big motorcycle kind of guy so I did my garage Harley style. I spend alot of time in there watching football and drinking beer . It's a gathering place for the neighbors as well as a place to store and work on my bikes. It's only a 2 car garage, but even with the bar in there, I fortunately still have room for 4 bikes and my car. It's a work in progress and still needs a floor, I also need to partition off the area around the washer and dryer.

I told my wife our next house only needs to be a 10 car garage, with a bathroom, microwave, and refrigerator.

Here are some before and after pics, but after seeing some of the garages posted here, I'm humbled to be sure. Please tell me what you think (but only if it's good J/K).

Nice garage. Great transformation. More info on the car please.

 

[JMURiz]

Cool looking garage, looks like it handles all your needs, hang-out sport, parking spot, and maintenance spot.

BTW I like your VR1000 model, always wished they'd kept working on that bike.

Nice garage. Great transformation. More info on the car please.

It's a 2007 dodge Charger SRT-8, bone stock. 6.1L, 425HP, 420ft lb...pretty fast for a heavy car. Love it to death but it's a gas hog...especially at Cali gas prices.....

nice job

 

[Roospike]

Looks like the "car" needs to go find a carport somewhere.

Or you need a bigger Garage... Nice one

 

[MikeN]

I see a DRZ

 

[Gunslinger]

Thanks all....

That is my DRZ that I don't get dirty as often as I like....I mostly just use it to commute to work with these days.

Hey GS, how wide is your garage? I am redoing mine and I was just curious how close we are in size.

Great job by the way.

 

[Will67]

I would add a Kegerator to the bar

Not sure......typical though....right around around 22' I think....

How do you like your Charger? I rented one and it was a POS. Obviously it was the base rental car and probably a little abused, but do they get better as you move up the line? The SRT engine is very attractive, but does the rest of the car keep up? The steering feel on my rental was terrible.

What's with the washer and dryer in the garage? For shop rags, etc?

That's what I thought! I need to train my wife to park better.

Nice bike collection by the way.

The SRT is a totally different car than the rest of the Charger line. Even the next one in line, the R/T (340HP). Completely different engine, wheels/tires, brakes (Brembo), suspension, steering, interior, front/rear end, hood, adjustable pedals, more that I can't think of. It handles extrememly well for a big heavy car. You should go test drive one.....once I drove it I was sold. I was looking at this and a new Corvette and I chose the Charger. I know most wwould probably have chosen the Vette because it's a Vette, but I can haul *** and 5 people instead of just 2...


I have since covered the washer and dryer with faux leather curtains that match the Harley thing I have going on in there

Nice job!
Is that Road King a 100th anniversary edition?

 

[Yotaforce]

Looks like you are out of Jack!

 

[Yotaforce]

And getting low on Jose!

 

[esondeen]

Very nice garage Gunslinger--I especially like the gathering place idea. Some nice features, Brother.

 

[wmonroe]

Great looking garage. The bar fits in really well on the side and still leaves enough room for the bikes.

I LOVE that car. I drove a R/T Charger and really liked it so I can't imagine how much fun the SRT 425 hp is.

Nice set-up, I'm working on finishing my shop, what brand are your gray colored cabinets and are they readily available from a local outlet ?

Thanks....the cabinets are available at Home Depot.....Closet Maid, I think...

 

[WolverineCoatings]

I think you might need a harley floor to go with that garage... lol

 

[Gunslinger]

Thinking about flooring now, as a matter of fact...

 

[Jaytree]

Like what you've done with the garage as far as the bar and the cabinets, but I couldn't get four bikes and a cage to work in my 24x24. I would get everything setup like I wanted it as far as the benchs, welder, blast cabinet, and all my other items, and WHAM! I'd have to pull one of the bikes apart for something and there goes all of the floorspace if it came down to a mutiple day job. The wife finally got tired of complaining that her truck was outside so I just kinda "absorbed" the whole garage to myself. Now it's not enough either. You just made me realize that I must have a wet bar in my new building!

Just completed this workshop for one of the upper brass at Harley-Davidson for his home in Mequon, WI. I can post a few more pictures after the signs get installed along the back wall if anyone would care to see more.

 

[Gunslinger]

I for one would like to see more. Nice job.

Oops! Inserted two of the same pics. Here is the one that should have gone in the post above.

 

[Down Under Bloke]

Is it legal to own a Porsche and a Harley in America?

 

[Mr. Welsh]

That is an odd pair.

The garage door is the best part of that garage, imo.

 

[westwoodrnr]

Love your garage! I would also like to use mine for a dual purpose ( showcase my H-D Duece and do a little entertaining as well. Like the idea of the bar. Our house / driveway / garage has been the summer gathering place for friends and family over the past couple of years and with inspiration like yours it will continue to be...

 

[mritech1]

Gunslinger,
I really like the bar you built. I am trying to build one siilar for my new shop, the one problem I faced was trying to find the chicago rail for the top, Where did you get that and what did you use for the top surface? Thanks for any info. Nice bikes by the way, I ride an 02 roadking.

Cheers!

 

[mritech1]

kinda funny, I also ride a DRZ400s....

 

[SKULLY]

I see an addition comein soon, toy junky....lol....jealous.

Thanks, it's great to be out there..people just gravitate to it since the door is wideopen and you can see someone is home and hanging out.
