Ok, after seeing all these I'm even more jealous. All I have is the floor of my bedroom and under the stairs for bike bits and tools. As for work space to actually work on the bike that'll be the paved pathway to my front door. It'll only get worse now I've got back into Gliding as well, there'll now be bits of plans and bizarre bits of electrical stuff everywhere...

Laurie out of interest, where's the 750?
Gixxer 750 is at Spannermans Garage getting the fork seals done. One blew big time at Assen the other week. I'm too Idle to do it myself

Well as many of you are aware, securing a property with a decent sized garage isn't always realistic, at any given time I tend to have 2 or 3 bikes that belong to mates who don't have space for them while they're being worked on or stored. I've not had a garage at all up until I moved here and the first time I did valve clearances it was in the front room of a rental property. Which made it warm, but reduced TV viewing space somewhat.

There are 4 sv650s in that shot only 1 is mine, 2 are jointly owned between me and another orger and one belongs to another friend.

It's taken about 5 years to get the garage to that point, next plans are to get a compressor and some welding gear and learn how to fabricate simple stuff instead of just handing it to people who have taken the time to learn!

compressor and some welding gear - invest in some good quality stuff and it will see you through what ever you need to do...

Mine....

Just big enough to fit the SV or VF750 in via the back door.

if we buy the house we're looking at this weekend, then we'll have a garage and things will change considerably.

Ugrades!
