| I think for you Vort...especially...it would be easier and quicker to build a new man cave at the bottom of the garden...with gym...jacuzzi...tv room...show room.....cranes...hoists...display boxes etc etc....and keep the old man cave as "maintenance bay".....I'd have to knock my house down to get a piece of land big enough to extend...and seeing as theres bikes in the house...thats a no go.... |

Put another story on top and use the whole ground floor as your new man cave

OMG
I didn't think any one person would/could have that many bikes in such a confined space. Is it a Bimota thing or are you and Steve in competition to see who can cram the most in such a confined spaces. Maybe when the Corona virus has settled down and you both need something to do?? Approach the "Steam Packet" ferry company and offer your services for next years TT ferry, I am sure you could double capacity for next years sailings. Good effort to both of you.

Yes the chair is a nice addition, donated by someone that had no space I guess in there garage?
Suzuki is hung up from the garage roof and will make it's way to the floor as soon as the Bim has vacated the ramp. Triton and Kwak are up at the shop. I have now made man cave MkII in the rear of the work shop.

I think they'll be plenty of space on the Steam Racket company boats.....especially as they havent offered refunds to anyone....the swines….40,000 bikers with their bikes @£365 for a return trip fully paid for = £14,600,000.....Not a bad days work with Zero diesel burnt on their chuggers.....
What vort isn't showing....as it would require him to remove roofs.....hire a crane and strap on his Fish Eye....is the other 3/4 of his man cave.....so think my cave x4.... |

Everything gets ridden, except the GSXR750 LTD. Bike has too few miles and clutch plates are too expensive and hard to come by to ride it. I love riding these early GSXRs, so the frame in the window is a GSXR1100 I'm building to ride.
No Superlight. Had a 900SS/SP until I got the DB2 to replace it. Must be looking at the 888 SPO. "Wes Cooley". Been trying to buy an ELR for years to be more period complete. With no forethought Suzuki is tied with Ducati as the dominant brand in the garage. RG500 not shown. |

You can email them to me if you like...and I'll post them up....
Meanwhile...seeing as my "man Cave" photos didn't really show anything other than a very full small space...I too the opportunity of time and great weather yesterday to have a clear out and start and run up procedure.....Hopefully these show a little better what was "in the Box"
Well...>THis was "before" spilling out the contents
And after:-
The "one" that started it all....ten years ago....my first Bimota...DB2

Nice to see your bikes getting some sunshine and being able to breathe some fresh air for the afternoon 2bims. Plenty of room in your modest man cave.
