I'm lucky enough to have a double garage attached to the house. The only thing I have to keep in them is my van and bike. The garages ain't small. I can park the van in either side and walk around it. I'm rapidly running out of space.What is it that no matter how much space you have its never enough. How crowded is your's ?
Posting pictures of the interior of your garage is OK but remember no open doors or anything in the background that may give away the location to the local scrotes.

Most of my work is carried out at the roadside, bigger bits sometimes get removed and worked on in doors like engines etc.

Bloody hell Wrinkly, that's not a garage, it's a workshop
No wonder you're running out of room

Roadside in the front of the front garden - hardstanding where the bikes/car get parked and the ground anchors are.
Tools live in the cupboard under the stairs
and the bathroom
and the spare bedroom
and some in the kitchen
and dining room

dear wrinkly, i have a kawasaki, so i'm not sure what you mean?
work on it?
i just ride it mate, apart from arriving at Squires once on a recovery(& that was an after market alarm) its never let me down.
Ok i get the point. i now have a fully functioning tech dept to play with at work(local high school) guess where the z650 chop project is?
i took it in to school in mercedes estate size bits, dismantled it & turned my SEN student loose on it-he's not making a lot of progress, but with a bit of supervision i should have it back for the summer!
as for the ninjas, they have never needed more than an oil change/tyres & i can do that on the drive or in the bike shed at the bottom of the back garden.

*Everyone* in this street seems to just keep crap in their garages. I've got a garage half-full of crap and half-full of bikes. I need to clear the damn thing out before I can work on my bikes again.
Still, at least the leather armchair has moved!

That's far too tidy!

How the hell do you find anything in there? Half the fun is turning the place upside down in a vain search for that elusive bit of kit you've been hanging onto for years. Trouble is, you give up, buy a new one, only to find it a couple of days later.

Same thing only in reverse.You decide to have a clear out only to find you have need for the very thing you've just slung out. The women on here don't realise the trials and tribulations us men have to go through in "Our" sheds? workshops. And why we have to spend so much time there.

You should have seen it before I took the photo... I couldn't get in there! I was given the sofa bed last week, so had to have a massive clearout to get it in... Funnily enough though, despite throwing out only two empty cardboard boxes, I have LOADS of room in there again now!
Cheers,
Jon.

It's hard to imagine that this is actually a garage down to all the redundant gym equipment (ps. the other half's that is...) but newly carpeted out heres my weekend retreat...
Feel free to ignore the body filler based winter camouflage on the front fairing, bloody ice...
Fancy doing some painting the weekend wrinkly

i have a detached single garage that is used primarily for the bike and my bike bits & tools. Plenty of room to do basic servicing and cleaning. We keep the car parked outside in the drive: as it should be.

I have a 1 1/2 size garage and the bike is in the 1/2 bit. The only way to have enough room is to get rid of anything that you haven't used for over two years. Works a treat!

Front garden (which is gravel), not sheltered so am exposed to the elements :/
Second bike is small enough to fit through the doors, so I drive her through the house and into the back garden -- much to the delight of my family

"Where I work on the bike"
Why would I need a garage- I live near Wrinkly

But the bike lives on the drive at my parents at the moment.
