Motorcycle Garages Only

Hello again

Once it is done it should look something like this

Hello grandpa, Speed Triple checking in.

My bike gets it's very own 'car port', I wish I could offer it a bit more, but that is what is available at the moment. I love old motorcycles but thought my first bike should be newer for the sake of being 'trouble free. If money and time become more available, I hope to get a couple old Honda CB's to do up in Triumph/Norton cafe-era fashion for the wife and I.

Hello grandpa, Speed Triple checking in.

Just because one of my bikes is 72 years old don't assume that I am.

Actually the 39 5T was the "Fireblade" of its day and a milestone in motorcycle development in the same way the CB750 was in the late 60's and early 70's

I like the Speed Triple, I like the Streetfighter style. I fancy a triple myself perhaps a Benelli TnT, a Laverda Jota and I quite fancy a KH250 or 400

 

[markito]

wow some really nice garages! props to all!! keep posting them pictures!

 

[52Ford]

Hello again, here is a pic of the 5T about 8 or 10 weeks ago. Its moved on a bit since then although a lot of that time has been waiting for chrome to be finished and the like.

Not sure if yu have any interest but I just recieved an email from a place I buy alot of scale models from and here is one they just recieved.

It is from a company called Minichamps and is 1/12 scale.

 

[Flange]

Thanks 52ford. I am aware of these models and I understand that they are very good.

I am aiming for a 1/1 scale size example in my lounge rather than a 1/12 size one. There is only 1 thing preventing this happening, unfortunately I am married to her!

Gary, if you're looking for a motorcycle lift, I would recommend the Direct Lift Pro Cycle XLT-DT. We got ours from Greg Smith. We've been really happy with it and have no complaints. It has more than paid for itself...

Here's my 20x20 shop. Hoping to push it back another 16ft and widen it out a bit with a partial second story but for not it'll do.

Nice clean, organized shop. I like it. Mike.

Here are a few pics of a clients bike that I am restoring/detailing. A few minor repairs such as a leaking rocker cover and clutch cover. Polishing the paint and installing a new front tire. Mike.

Looks like someone really liked the idea of a Triumph but could only swing a Yamaha.

Exactly! It is actually turning out pretty good considering what I had to work with looked like it was abandoned in a barn for the last twenty years. Mike.

 

[veeryder]

A yamaha 650 with a Triumph tank???????

 

[zmotorsports]

A yamaha 650 with a Triumph tank???????

Yes. It took a little mounting creativity but looks like it belongs there when installed. Mike.

My bike shed has been included in the latest issue of Australia's best bike magazine - "Rapid"

Thanks to all for the great ideas

Here's my humble, bike abode...

 

[abstamaria]

I must contribute this picture to prove that, once upon a time, I had a motorcycle (several actually, byt this was the last). Both motorcycle and car are gone now, unfortunately.

 

[dorkpunch]

Here's my current project: a '67 Yamaha YL2C.

Started out looking like this:

Actually, it started out looking a lot worse... This was my first ever motorcycle. Found it in an old farm shed and the owner gave it to me. Theres a long story to go with it, but I eventually ended up with it again and have it almost ready for the road.

I'm actually a Honda nut, so all of the other bikes are Hondas with the exception of the bike I actually ride. What can I say? I like orange kool-aid.

I like the wall art. Lotus or Alfa?

 

[abstamaria]

Lotus, MarcSeattle. The different versions of the Lotus twincam's cam covers.

There's been some changes, but this is my work area. Just picked up a SnapOn Classic 78.

Platform is 7' x 3' x 22" high. Harbor Freight Wheel Chock. And stores in the corner.

Look back in my OP - there is an identical F4 in my garage. I am trying to talk my wife into something fuel injected to replace it.
