Post a picture of where your bike hibernates in winter.
Show where you work on your pride and joy.
Post a picture of your man cave.
(I'll have to get a picture of mine and post it soon)

Hrm. Pictures are a little outdated but close enough.

First, the stable.

The XS400 runs...sorta. First bike I ever owned, crazy history with it. It's got a new(er) motor in it after a lubrication failure, just needs the carbs sorted and about 10 years of maintenance work done.
The VF700C is for sale, looking to replace with a EX250 or similar.
The ZX9 is the daily machine, getting tweaked here and there.

The FJ is in tiny bits. Guts are spread under the bench to the right, the motor is under the plastic, and various bits are scattered around. Not a bad place to work on things, though I need to get the lighting sorted out a little better. Once it's together and running, I'm hoping to add a load of shelving and rearrange stuff to reduce the overall mess, and I'd like to put a shelf up high in the corner and stick an aircompressor on it, and run a few lines for drops on the ceiling.

Is that a Miata I see in the background? If so, you should get together with Pat Conlon!

It is.

I already have an FJ. I don't need to associate with more hooligans! Nooooooo............

(Also, that's the cleanest that car has ever been. It's like driving a tiny dumpster, normally.)

is it a bad sign that on an fj forum no one's posted a pic of a garage with an assembled Fj in it yet?

I can post a pic of an assembled FJ, but you can't see it for all the 'stuff' surrounding it. Barely a path to the front of the bike, buta CLEAR PATH out the door to the highway!
