Thought it would be cool to see a thread with pics of everyone's garage setups. From full blown professional garages, to carports, to driveways, I think it would just be cool to see what everyone's working with. I know there's a thread for the world's best garages, but I thought it would be cool to see where some of us do our own thing.

I bought my house back in February and am so happy with the garage. The lady that owned the house before me was a bit whacky and owned a stained glass business so she thought it would be a good idea to paint all the walls crazy colors - so ignore those lol. When I have the money and time I plan to paint the walls white, and epoxy seal the floor.

Anywho, view from the outside:


Here's my workspace, with my Monster coming back together after the crash a while ago:


Inside the workspace, looking out into the rest of the garage:

Here's a picture of my very basic set up. I have alot of spare body work pieces that stay in the attic just to save garage space. Not much but I can do everything that I need to.

Lol, it was a big requirement for me too. I was just going on the realty websites, doing an "advanced search" and entering my city, max price, and minimum 3 car garage.

From this past weekend...bike is on the stand to the right. I refuse to buy a house without a garage(soon hopefully). I've never had one where ever I've lived. Over the winter i kept my bike at my grandfathers garage and it was godsend to able to work on it(even in the NE winter in a non insulated garage.) I have to many moto projects floating around in my head to NOT have one,  Grin .

Wow, so far 3 different garages, but all nice in their own way.

Questions:

ChrisK: Where do you live? Your garage looks like a barn, but it's huge. What's on the second level?

Bobspapa: What's the bike with the sidecar?

This is the only picture I have with the Monster in the garage.  The grandson has a passion for fine Itialian machines.  Everyone likes the floors, I epoxy coated them.

I live in north central Illinois, town called Dixon. And yeah the garage does look a bit like a barn, but it wasn't one in its past life. The attic is just an open space, I have some big "man-cave" plans for the future up there but right now we just use it as storage and I have a make-shift paint booth set up up there.

My wife bought the house in downtown atlanta 20 years ago and has no intention of moving. right now my bike area is the little pad of pavers measuring 9' x 6'

I keep it covered in the rain and ride it thru the winter.
