I think Jerry added the ability to embed YouTube vids but not movie files from Photobucket.
Ron says no cleaning, so as soon as it stops storming I'll snap a couple shots of my garage.

And for a little contrast to the last set...
Two cars, four+ bikes and assorted other stuff. Patio chairs hanging go outside in the summer.
Can anyone spot the bikes? I won't count the one in the rafters...

Sorry Jean this is the way I work (dirty hands, clean environment) and yes the lift is home made but not by myself.

Feast your eyes, folks! By popular request, here are a few pics from my little workshop:
The overall view. It's a little more cramped right now because I put the car back in. Too cold to ride to work and I hate scraping windows in the morning.
A close up of the bikes' side. Riders at the rear, projects up front:
One of two workbenches. Never enough bench space!
Someone asked about posters on *my* wall. I only have one:
And finally, some routine maintenance for the new arrival (2002 Ducati 998 Superbike):

nortonspeed gets the prize for the cleanest shop.
Doug, your shop looks more cluttered than mine. At least with our "compact" shops we don't have to go too far to get our tools.
Hey Swooshdave, I can only see 3 bikes but I'm not counting anything above the rafters.
I'm thinking of having a winch up in my rafters as I have a 16'Lx8'Wx4'-6'H storage area above me with a 6'x8' opening above my shop so I could lift a whole bike up and store it up there if I wanted. Also I could lift a bike and set it on a work stand so I don't have to buy a lift. Another idea I'm toying with instead of a lift is cutting a hole in my asphalt floor and burying a hydraulic lift in the floor. Then have 2 interchangeable tops to bolt on. One small square one fits to the frame rails and the other long narrow one under the wheels. It couldn't move around but in my little shop there's no where to move the bike on a lift anyway.

That's how tight the Bultacos are packed. There are actually three there. I'm thinking of building a "perch" in the corner and sticking one of them up there. One less bike to move to get to the workbench.

Here is the mess. Instead of showing progress of a build I will shop progress of the shop cleanup.http://s731.photobucket.com/albums/ww32 ... opmess.jpg

God I cant even bare the thought of posting a photo of my garage! I can look in! but I cant get in!
IF the rain stops at the weekend ie daylight hours I might gat a chance to get out there!
I really should be looking to move everything to a lock up & bringing back only the bits I need for one bike project at a time!

Hi Chis I remember your garage from when you sorted me out with a broken gearchange spring (thats now part of my toolkit)
here are some pics of my 'wanking area'
this is our track toy although still not running as it should
look at the fridge every workshop should have one ,full of course with Chimay and Witkap No fake beer like Bud for us......
another project......
currently there are 6 bikes in my workshop :2 900ss ducatis . 2 norton commandos 750 (one is 79x100 bike in hibernation) a guzzi Lemans 2 and the outfit AND NO JAPANESE

I hope it is another jubilee or navigator becouse the other one must have felt alone I had one (of each) and did thrash them ! They never went bang . I wouldn't mind getting another one just to upset those who say they were rubbish but never had one.mind you the Jubilee did not exactly stick to the road......but then that made it even harder to follow as you were never sure where it was going todoug said:
