[84honda200s]

i love my garage. i spend more time out there than anywhere. mostly on my trike but i like working on it. i have no clue why i like to work on it but i do. lol



oo yea you dont wanna see my garage. it looks like a tornado went ripping threw.

[chris200x]

I swear... it was clean just two short days ago. :D

[Huffa]

Hey Torker

Where do I get a trick sock chime like you have? :D

[84honda200s]

I swear... it was clean just two short days ago. :D




thats a nice clean garage you got there. well cleaner than mine. i will take a picture tomorrow sometime. you guys will rip me so bad. sadly i dont care to clean it yet because my trike isnt here.

[chris200x]

Yeah, It was fairly clean a few days ago but I finally got motivated to start my tri z project. I actually straightened up a bit this morning befre I took that pic. :wondering

[Mr. Clean]

I get off work and spend all my time in the garage. My wife calls it the dungeon. The pics are not up to date though, the harley is now in the florida room, as I have added another 250r to the collection (the middle pic). A current pic would show three R's in front of the 57 chevy.

[x.system]

Getting some pics around for ebay so I snapped this one for this thread.

[Maverick]

I miss my garage a whole lot. I had a 3 car garage in AZ which was nice for working on my trike, and building guitars. Now I live on 40 acres and have to build a garage now.

[torker]

Huffa:
You can only get that in my garage...:lol: :lol:

TORKER.

[torker]

Maverick:
I would not worry, on 40 acres you can build an aircraft hangar...
TORKER.

[ScottZJ]

I need to get me a shop built cuz I sure dont have room in my 3rd car garage to work on much. I usually have to move my truck or the wifes car out of the other 2 car garage area to work on them.

[edog]

There is no reason for one person to have that many trikes.


:Bounce :w00t: :Bounce :w00t: I love USA:w00t: :Bounce :w00t: :Bounce

[torker]

I agree, but hey, that's the way he has his garage!!!

TORKER.

[Bryan Raffa]

I wish had one,, Im at the mercy of the elements!!:cry: :cry:

[BigReds Forever]

Thats one of the things i love about trikes....you can pack them together much tighter! Ill take some pics of mine a little later.

[Maverick]

Maverick:

TORKER.

Yea I guess I could. The sad thing is the money I have to spend on a shop I could have bought a few trikes.

[blue27]

Heres mine now until I bulid a bigger one out back. Plus there is some in the shed and down at Dads, and all the car/truck stuff happens down the street at Dads garage anyway so this is the "ATV Shop" its not as crowded as it looks , have a ATC 70 in a hundred pieces right now.

lol

[Yamahauler]

Here is mine. Havent cleaned it up since I fixed the truck, you have about 1ft of room around it to work, so organization wasnt really an option, haha.
Cleaning it up this weekend. I swear!!

the other place to store trikes is under the deck. I can probably fit three or four more.

[Huffa]

[Howdy]

I probably have the most dis-organized garage. I'm too ashamed to take pictures, let alone post them. lol
Howdy

[Billy Golightly]

Geeze huffa, you work in that place any? I don't think my shop could be that clean and organized if you spent an entire year doing nothing but trying to make it nice :lol: I'll try and get some pics soon.

[Huffa]

I must have it that way as pretty much my whole life I have STML (short term memory loss) and if i don't put things away, RIGHT NOW, in 30 seconds I can forget where I put them.

Even organized I can't find stuff! :cry: I'm sure others on here have that same problem too though, I would think anyway.

I love having a peg board as my major tool source, a tool box blows because you can't see what tools are missing, a peg board is by far waaay more efficient in getting and putting away your tools. Try it! :beer

[Bryan Raffa]

lets see whats down the stairs huffa!!!!!

[ceaserthethird]

- Love the Sock Hanger :drool:

[chris200x]

lets see whats down the stairs huffa!!!!!

that's were he stores the bodies... :twisted:

[DeePa]

Huffa, if i had shirts hanging on the wall, they would be used as rags as fast as you would blink your eye...When stuff is going anywhere, whatever is closest is getting used to clean it up before it gets bigger...

Ill try to get some pics of mine someday...

[blue27]

Huffa ,looks more like a store (toy store). Just let me know and we will work something out someday. Nice CB700SC I hade one once.

[Bryan Raffa]

Man Huffa make you keep it clean down there in the lower level..LMAO!

[ChrisD]

Barry

[bp739]

Well hopefully this fall I'll be starting on my brand new 24'x24' workshop,but until then I'm stuck with this....it's small but it's FULL:p ...and it serves the purpose for now.Thats my 05 KFX700, an 02 Kolt 50 ,my 86 200x and an 85 350x on the bench...all in an 8'x10' space.

[kb200x]

Hey ChrisD did you do that floor? I have been thinking about doing that. Oh and as always the 250r is SICK :drool:

Eric, the forks under the work bench, what are they to?

[ATC-Eric]

I bought it for the 185, didnt notice they were bent until I got them home. Dont know what they will fit exactly, could be any of the little non-suspendeds.

Its got good brakes/rim/tire though. Im offering the whole bike up for free, probably just bring it to trikefest and have somebody take it off the trailer for me. Im sure somebody will. Im going to throw it in the classifieds soon, with the extra parts I got for it.....

[super90]

In the summer my garage is my a 2 door garage with 1 truck, not in the winter its in the basement. Heated, satellite tv, internet and trikes. Onlything down here now is my 110 being parted out. But what more could i ask for? Ill snap some pics soon also.

That's mighty nice of you offering free stuff, I did that too a few weeks ago, Brapp on here is going to take it all.

So a few of you guys really like my Nighthawk huh? I found that 3 years ago in a trailer court setting out in the rain and snow all winter long. It was in terrible shape and I fixed it up quite nice. I missread the speedo and thought it said 40,000 + on it, it was and still only has some 4,000 + miles on it.

Well I don't want to bore some or hijack this garge post like I'm doing now:lol: , so being that this is a 3 wheeler site so I'll shut up about it but I at least want to show you how it used to look .........

Thanks Mike. I got it back together a little while ago. Its about to enter the final stage of the rebuild though. I got a couple rides in after I got it to run again. Couldnt beleive it even started after I had the motor apart :lol:

To finish I have to install:

Progressive springs for the front
Ronnies bling bling kit! :w00t:
Braded brake line for the front
New set of pro taper bars
Lonestar extended axle w/hubs
New holeshots, dont like the 22's
Polish the front rim
.......................

Ill start another thread when the time is right.

Edit: as far as the crate trade goes, I think we can work out a deal! :lol:

Come on Howdy lets see those

Sorry for the pic of the R, but I don't randomly take pics of my garage, so it's all I have. I'm only braggin' about my garage because I just redid it. I actually built my R in my basement. It's a cheap shot.

[Huffa]

Hey Raffa

Here is the "lower" garage. Mostly stuff I collect and ATC parts.

I put the stupid oil tank/tire pic in simply because it makes a good shelf for them, give others an idea maybe.

[Billy Golightly]

Well heres mine. Sure aint proud of the way its "organized" compared to some of you guys ultra clean and spiffy work areas. One day it'll get organized and maybe a loft/attic area built into it. Sorry for the bad quality...this camera is getting old and fluorescents always play hell with it. More pics in the next post...

[Billy Golightly]

Last ones... My good machining tools (Lathe, and mill) are out in a separate container. Thats much cleaner and better organized then the actual shop :lol:

[Eric250R]

Well, here's my " garage" it used to be an old resturant.....but it serves me well.

[edog]

I don't know how you guy's can live that way?:( :D

[ATC-Eric]

Dang Billy, I think you got us beat on space. Clean that place up! Its got a ton of potential.

[Billy Golightly]

Yeah I know. The problem is theres just to much stuff, unless I shelve every single wall all the way to the top all the way around its gonna be the same way again.

[edog]

Yeah I know. The problem is theres just to much stuff, unless I shelve every single wall all the way to the top all the way around its gonna be the same way again.


Go to a discount store going out of business sale..And Buy up all there racks.

[edog]

I thought it was edog's apartment!!!
Why you say that?:wondering

It would be :cool: to have a place to go see Gramps.

[atctim]

Here is where I spend a good deal of my time. First 3 are the work shop - last two are the attached storage / staging area. Enjoy!

[mike from long island]

Hey Mike, just curious, do the blue and yellow 90's run? In good shape?

The yellow 90 runs.I drove it around when it had all three tires flat!! just had too.The blue one needs some carb work.I just havent had room to work on it.The spray bombed one runs the best.Took that one all over.200xman even took it for a run.At some point all the three weelers will run.Just gotta clean up the shop from all the projects and parts.

sorry about deleting the other posts but wanted to start over. i b nu 2 thsi.

will post some :pics: of the tri-z once I get the frame painted :beer

love working in the shop saving the trikes :crazy:

[Russell 350X]

Here are some of my garage. Not the best, but I like it.

[ATC-Eric]

Thats a real nice setup Russ.

I need me some of that!

[atctim]

I have seen some of you other guys doing something similar to this. I was out of room, so last night I made a trip the the local Amish saw-mill and picked up some "real" 2X4s and this is what I ended up with. It works real nice.:naughty:

http://www.venustel.com/~tkeister/stack1.JPG

http://www.venustel.com/~tkeister/stack2.JPG

[ColeTrickle]

Wow! look at all those trikes! good Idea, now you have room for more!

Do you get much use out of the trailer hitch on the 350X?

[atctim]

Do you get much use out of the trailer hitch on the 350X?

Nope - I have yet to pull anything with it. The previous owner did that, but it is unique, so it stays. That 350X also came with a snow plow!

[BigGreenMachine]

Here is my workshop, business side. Its barn style so theres storage upstairs and to the left is another storage area with two car sized tractors poked away.

[ColeTrickle]

Well, here I am, working on my own stuff in the shop :beer

mx bike needs radiator and waterpump seal :(

Tri-Z needs to be torn down and see why it keeps overheating and get jetting right. Has stock waterpump set-up:wondering

At least I'm hanging in the garage with my two best pals :)

[factoryX]

Just wondering, in the pics with a butt load of trikes, do you actualy ride all of them?

[bp739]

I had to "modify" the door on the shed to fit everything in....believe it or not theres 5 atv's in there...kfx700 , 350x, 200x , alpha sports 50, and a nearly complete 250x in parts on the shelf in the back. Defenitly building a new garage in the spring...already got the OK from the wife......24x24 should be about the biggest I could fit....way better than the 8x10 I have now...cant freakin wait :D
Almost forgot the security dog.....:p

[ATC-Eric]

:eek: AT ONCE!!!!;)

[Billy Golightly]

My shop got a total transformation over the past 2 weeks, can't beleive its taken that long. You can see the before pics in this same thread a few posts back. We pretty much moved every single everything in the shop. Bought about $1,000 worth of benches, shelving, and peg board. Got a whole whole bunch of stuff up off the shop floor and into some half assed decent organization, which was a helluva undertaking believe me. I found stuff I didn't even know I had, or had completely forgotten about :lol:

I still need to move our large hydraulic press into the shop, it was painted this afternoon. Will probably paint both the band saws the vertical and the horizontal also here in the next couple days. I forgot how much better stuff looks with paint covering the rust up :crazy:

Theres a few areas that still need to be organized better have stuff put away But anyways, heres some pics of my vastly improved shop. By the way, there a few pretty rare and sought after trike goodies in the pictures, see if you can find them.

man billy thats looks a whole lot better than the last time I saw it!!! WOW!

[thefox]

Here is where I spend most of my free time when home. This is the cleanest it has been since we added the extra 1.5 bays almost 10 years ago. It usually isn’t too bad but I have to clean up my crap before leaving for college at the end of each summer, then this year my dad did the epoxy coating on the floor because my brother was having his wedding reception in the backyard. I’ll start with the picture most will like first….

[motoman110]
