    Ideas for cleaning up the garage?

    Hi Guys
    I bought a new toy today
    Honda VTR1000F

    Now I need to mae more space in the Garage

    With a road bike,2 dirt bikes,2 minimoto's and many kid related toys
    (bikes,scooters,skateboards,and various other things (including the wifes car)

    Has anyone got any good idea's for storing the PBs?
    like hanging them on a wall bracket or somthing

    I know they dont take up to much room but have farings and spare frame too
    I thought you guys might have some good idea's to (hide) some stuff

    (and NO wife wont park her car outside)

    Cheers
    Grant

    park the bike in the lounge,then see how much space suddenly appears in the garage for your bike and you didn't have to do a thing


    you may not get called suger for a while

    build the garden shed or buy one

    You know, I was looking in my garage today and thinking, "A fire is the only way to sort this crap out."

    It's a thought.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    We live in a townhouse in Auckland so not really any room for a shed.
    Carport was closed in to make the Garage
    We have very small back yard and cobble stoned BBQ area.

    Bike trailer is on the only spare bit of land
    So Shed wont really work

    And cutting up her car would solve one problem and create a HUGE one

    Dont really want to sell anything either.
    Just need to rearange things a bit ...well hide them better really

    Leave the garage doors open.

    Go away for the weekend.

    Hey presto garage cleaned out.


    and ya didn't even have to lift a finger.

    After a while you realise the pig is enjoying it.

    Nice VTR and toys Grant, you must have a very understanding wife so you don't really want to upset her eh?

    Have you thought about hanging push bikes, scooters & anything light from hooks in ceiling or walls?

    Pocket bikes could sit on strong wall mounted shelves/free standing shelves like those ones from Bunnings.

    ciao.

    Hi Al
    Had a bit of a move around and it seems better.

    Good idea about looking at bunnings
    Should be able to find somthing to hang the pocketbikes on.

    Found a good solution
    Wife is going to buy a smaller car (Suzuki Swift)


    Cheers
