Picture just for the heck of it

My problem is that I need a bigger garage because not having the wife's car in the garage would be grounds for a divorce

Wife's car gets one side of the garage.  My truck winds up outside when there are motorcycles, home improvement things etc in the other side.

I have what I consider to be my bare minimum garage right now. 1-door, 2-car in size.

I somehow manage to keep 4 bikes, a couple of tool boxes, work bench, compressor,  trash and recycle bins, and her Scoobie-Doo sheltered within.

Most importantly I can get any bike out without moving anything.

But I'd love a garage big enough that it had a dedicated work area, complete with bike lift.

Perhaps someday...

My garage can comfortably hold 2 cars, a motorcycle, snowblower, lawnmower, gas trimer, lawn tools, large rolling garbage can, 2 bicycles (one mountain, one road), 4 whitewater kayaks and all the gear that goes with them, gas grill, some assorted lumber, 2 shelving units, and some assorted crap I really don't need.  Both doors have electric openers.  Since I only have one car right now I have more room than I really need.  One of my friends/neighbors keeps his motorcycle in my garage because I have so much room.  I never knew how much I would like a big garage until I got one.  Not rubbing it in or anything.

My next house will have a 4 car garage if I can afford it.  I'm willing to sacrifice half the house for the good of the bikes and my sanity.  I have checkered black and white floor and a garage girls poster that my wife detests but every garage needs biker babes in it right?

The garage girls posters are a definite must.

Bastard! Yes you are rubbing it in!!

Yes. And a poster of Hailwood at IOM!

Here's part of my garage set-up




My little bro has me beat though - he's got an oversized (wide and deep) 2 car garage attached to the house, then he built himself a SIX CAR detached (3 wide - 2 deep, 3 doors) with a full automotive lift at the front center bay.

That might actually be TOO much space for me - but I could probably learn to live with it if I had to.

I just wished I lived at my farm. I have two giant barns. You can drive circles in them with a John Deere tractor. But alas, I don't and have to share a very basic two car attached garage with the wife's car here in town. Your younger brother is is one lucky dude with a garage like that!

He's lucky in that aspect, but I wouldn't trade my life for his even for that garage...

well here's my little "man" cave.  I've included my garage poster (better, skimpier pictures in subsequent pages) and an example of the dollies I use to move my shit around.  Oh, and for you purists I covered the Harley so as not to offend the righteous people.

Tell me about parking rail thing!

My wife and I are planning a garage w/ upstairs living quarters as phase 1 when we build. 

It'll be 3-bay, with a few extra feet of depth to have a workbench along the back.

They are great http://www.amazon.com/Drop-Tail%C2%AE-Cycle-Glyder-Dolly/dp/B0036R6KOY
I bought the locally, at least they were made here but can't remember the guy's name.  I've had them for over two years and they are great, heavy but great.

My attached garage is a typical 2-stall for the daily drivers. Meh.

The shop is 30x33' with one double- and one single-car overhead on the 30' side. Plenty of room despite two bikes, two cars, an ATV, a snowmobile, and the usual complement of shop stuff. It's fully sheetrocked and textured, with full-length attic.
