Title: Show us ya man cave !
Post by: VladTepes on Wednesday, 27 June 2018, 12:20 PM
Let's see pictures of your Man cave (room / garage / shed / workshop / whatever).

Also if you have some decent storage / organisation system feel free to share the info about those too,

And basically any comments you want to make.


My man cave is a bloody mess at the moment, but I'll take a pic later anyway. Always good to have a "before" photo...  :rofl2:

It does Col......but photo of kitchen or pantry must show at least one grubby motorcycle part in it.  :happy1:

By 'Kitchen and Pantry" you mean - parts storage, parts washer and paint curing oven right?

Yes, of course, I mean that, just that 'she' doesn't. :wife: :smiley sign0181:

Although, the paint curing oven has been known to cook some mighty fine Bacon & Egg pies as well . . .

Working on a house renovation so I can sell up and move. Smaller house, bigger shed(s) next time.

Currently...

Current shed is 6m x 9m / 20 foot by 30 foot / 3 car.

It was a gift from my wife. She lived on the Northside nearer the city. I lived on the Southside nearer Bayside. It was to encourage me to sell my house not hers.

I recall your man cave was a recent addition Tony. Looks a very tidy man cave too. :clapping:

I'm looking forward to moving.

I was always a bit limited for space here. Looking at getting onto acreage somewhere out of the city so I can go BIG shed or barns. Kids are planning on moving out later this year so I won't need a family home near their schools and Uni etc.

A garage pic from my UK days.

2 x ZR750 Zephyrs, a 1977 KZ1000LTD US import, 2 x Z650's and an 1100 Katana.

The rest were at my parents farm or with friends and neighbours.

What a brilliant wife!

The new place looks bloody good mate.
Because its new, you can design from the ground up for storage, shelving ramps etc..
I have a funny idea you don't regret moving away from the UK !!

Last weekend at one of the biker haunts known as Caton there was a guy with an Ozzy accent..
He was from Tasmania and has emigrated here !!

I told him he must be mad and he replied with a grin "I still have my passport"

Tony - smaller house / bigger shed eh?
I hjad a cracker 6x9 shed at my first house. Divorce took care of that :(

When we (me and new missus) were house shopping we found what I thought was the perfect place.  Small house, 3 large interconnected sheds.  Man cave heaven.  :grin:
In the end we got a house pretty much the opposite. 4 bedrooms and just a double garage.  :furious:
Turned out to be a bad decision as it subsided not long after... $$$

Latty - you think YOURS needs a clean. Wait til I remember to post a photo of mine ! WAY messy.
Try fitting a decent workbench, motorcycle and associated stuff, camping gear, 4wd stuff, gun stuff etc all in a double garage.

Huh, you guys got nothing on me - barely enough room to fit a toaster on my work bench, it's a wonder anything get done at all.

That's where the used ones go Seth, although I should have put it in the "dirty to be washed" bucket really
