Ha very true.... That was there actually for my son's bike when he still lived at home. Thats been 3 years ago. And I have just kinda left it there. Gives me "the spot" to park. Kinda like the tennis ball hanging from the ceiling. Good eye.

Vintage Bikes get a much larger drip pad.

Some "sweet" garages/shops/man caves... in this post.
I can't complain about mine, even though I would do a few things different if I had to do it over.
But compared to the folks without one I am happy as a pig in $hit.

Here's my shop. 24x24 heated and insulated. It's set up so that I can move the bikes and lift in front of the bar and still pull a truck in to work on it since our attached garage isn't heated.

I wish it was about 10 feet deeper and 10 feet wider but overall I'm pretty happy with it.

I can't speak for others but mine sure as hell isn't from old money. Mine and my wife's is from 30 years of hard work wrenching and being frugal paying off a first home and then upgrading to our dream home. All the time working 8-10 hours a day at wrenching at my full-time job followed by 4-8 hours of wrenching on other people's stuff at my home shop.


I'm finally at a point in my life where I can work on my own stuff without having to work on everyone else's ****.
