New to GJ but not to motorcycles. I've had several and probably close to 10 projects underway right now. I'll be putting up a new workshop soon and will post pics along the way. However, I've outgrown my current air compressor both in overall volume and CFM. I'm looking at different units and hoping to find a good deal on Black Friday. You guys that have a MC garage and especially those that do restoration / repair work; what size have you found to be the most efficient. I've got some ideas - just looking for opinions. Thanks.

Here's my 24'x36' Craigslist garage. I just finished it recently & started moving stuff in last week. I don't really have everything where I want it, but I don't think anyone is going to feel bad for me

Hello gents. I am building a new garage - so not much to show yet... and I'm too embarrassed to post up how bad my current garage is! for now I can only show you a few bikes pictures:

2007 GSXR 600 - and some goofy dude:

At Homestead in Miami:

2009 GSXR 600 - same goofy guy, but more recently:

I'll find some more pics and post them... along with the garage as it comes together. Main thread is here:

Pentons were the early KTM's.

John Penton wanted a light 2 stroke that handled good to beat the big heavy 4 strokes. He went to KTM with ideas and they made them from 1968 to 1976.
After that they became KTM only.

They were top of the line bikes for years. The whole Penton family raced and won many nationals and medals at the ISDT on them..

The first Penton I got was a 1970 steel tanker six day, It was night and day better than the bikes I had been racing before that... I started winning trophies right away !
Here is a link for lots of info on them.

Here's a great book about John Penton's life. Well worth the time to read it and understand the early days of off-road motorcycling.

I keep watching it as the bikes and his story never get old!

There is a television show that chronicles some of the restorations that are done in this shop. I think the show is on Velocity.

My precious garage laid up for the winter with lawn mowers, a snow blower, hanging plants from outside, and other stuffs.

And everything tucked away:
