Motorcycle storage

[jarhead]

Any of you guy's keep your bike in the garage? I currently keep mine in a 8X10 shed. I am planning on doing the garage makeover real soon and was looking for ideas and pictures of what people have done to make the space usable.

I have a 24X28 garage.

Thanks, Joe

I will be putting my bikes in my garage, it's only a 22x24 though. I'll have 2 cars and 2 bikes, a workbench and desk. No problems.

One cool tool to use is this:

Get the measurements for the cars and bikes, create boxes for their space and move around to see what fits best.

Sorry, no pics of mine yet, just had my door installed today, hope to get the toys over for a rough fitting this weekend.

We are building a new shop now, but this is how we did it before in the 24 x 30. Just parked in the back....

Definately.. I usually keep 2 cars, 2 motorcycles, and of course the rest of my tools, lawn gear, work bench, etc in mine.

I built an addition off my barn, the part out of old barn wood, it's finished now, with a cement floor, but I keep both bikes in there.

Anyone have a bike lift they use, or just a motorcycle jack?

We use the 'Handy Lift' http://www.handyindustries.com/ Works great, and for longer bikes we bolt the ramp to the table.

Mine is in the back of a truck I am working on right now. Don't know where I'll put it when it and the truck are done, my shop is packed. Time to think about another addition I guess.

I had to sell my bike to make room for other things...

It always seemed to be in the way anyway, I was always moving it around to get access to something or other. I do miss the freedom of the open road though...

Nothing special - the bikes just occupy the other half of the garage. Helmets, gear, and tools in cabinets nearby. Post-ride bike wash beverages in the mini-fridge.

I think this is what Nova was showing...

I posted this pic on another thread but here is were I park my ATV in my garage. I have a set of ramps I use right now but I am in the process of building a nice ramp on hinges that can be pulled up to the ceiling.
