    It's not that big

    It's the revolution motor 1250cc quad overhead cam with slipper clutch. It seems to run quite well.

    Yep, I'd rather be riding than sitting in the shed looking at bling.

    A nice tool chest would be great, but not a priority. For years I resisted putting all the tools up on the wall, as I used to take the toolbox to each trailride. Don't do that anymore; just take what I carry on my back, sometimes throw in a couple of loose tools if I know I'm going to use them for final prep.

    So next priority is to rack all the tools on the wall, along with all the bottles/cans/etc. Got some good ideas on that stuff, plenty comes up from threads like this. If you want to feel poor, go read the advrider threads like this one. Some people have some serious moolah to spend on their sheds/toys.
    Cheers,
    Colin

    Carpet I got. Previous owners of the house used the double garage as a pool room.

    You guys are way too tidy. I'm too embarrased to show my shed and workshop. Floor to ceiling treasure (junk).

    My space

    I am lucky as my garage is a good size. You will see that it has two cars, two motorbikes (that is my DRZ400 hiding behind KT) and a trailer with some bits and pieces thrown on it. A third car could easily fit it.

    I have a pile of tools on the bench, I don't know what to do with half of them but luckily Phreaky Phil knows what they are for!!

    I have a new Partner so there is lots of bits and pieces in the shed from her previous house, hence the big beer fridge with a microwave sitting on top. Luckily her car has a tow bar for the trailer (my ex got the car with the tow bar!)

    A friend is a real estate agent, he has people interested in my house but all I can think of is if I sold is where would I get another house with a garage this size!

    I'm with you there Bart. A few of the Nelson boys have seen mine, bit of a dark dungeon, but it serves it's purpose. It's packed with 4 motorbikes, assorted tyres, assorted spares for all bikes, 3 mountain bikes, 2 kayaks, 2 chainsaws, powertools, handtools, garden tools etc etc, but hey even tho wifey keeps telling me to clean it up, at least I know where everything is

    I'm a bit embarrassed by mine as well. At least I can move around since we sold the trailer and he kayaks. You can see the orange power cord by the door that I have to run to the laundry every time I want to weld/drill/work at night etc. Tools are all in tool boxes cause I cart them around to siblings to fix their cars etc etc too often still. Home made benches are a PITA. The one with the vice tends to "walk" around a bit when hacksawing. I should dyna bolt it down.

    One more coat of paint for the pannier racks then they can go back on. Waiting for day with temps over 10 degrees though - I've been waiting 3 or 4 weekends now!
