garage shots only

[Bdog]

Since winter is still here for most of us and we can't post any up to date pics of our Nads out there on the road, how about some garage shots. If you are able to ride right now then to be fair for the rest of us, you still have to post a pic of your bike in the garage. Lets see how many members will post...blackiedoghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u319/blackiedog/000_0126.jpg

One of my biggest pet peeves are garage shots. Its almost blasphamey! But I understand where you're comming from so here ya go.......Here's one of me enjoying the new back rest on black betty.

Not garage but,,hey guys,,I'm in Bama

[cactusjack]

Here's garage #1 (small) where my "Black Betty" lives:

Here's garage #2, where I park my cage and do the heavy wrenching:

I want to especially thank Blackiedog for this idea. Now the world can see how cluttered and junky my garages are. In AZ, basements are uncommon, so I don't have any place to stash a lot of this crap (and my wife won't let me throw it out).

[vaccam]

My bike, but not my garage...

I feel the same as Wolfman so here's mine -

Actually got to ride to work today! It's +7 C and very little ice on the road.

[Top Cat]

Ells, dosen't your bike get a lot of condensation on it with that cover? I have one and last year I had a condensation problem. This year I am leaving the bike uncovered and no condensatinn so far.

To get condensation, you first have to have moisture in the air....and we have none of that here in the Colorado High & Dry Country. :)
I have the same cover and have never seen any condensation.

[stambukj]

As close as I could get!

[ringadingh]

I'll see if I can snap a pic tomorrow, my garage is so full of crap it will take a while to get to the bike.

What AudioGR said. Here in eastern Colorado we generally think of condensation as something bad Reader's Digest does to good books. I noticed that there are actually a couple vents in the cover, couldn't figure out why they were there but now I know.

Here it is, I hope this works. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Weather has turned crap again over here, rain and more rain :(

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg273/ianicky/Image008.jpg

I feel for you guys in the snow belt. I really do.

I've lived in Washington, Minnesota, Ohio, New York, and Northern Utah, plus other places where it snows waaaay too much. Now I live in Central California where it has snowed 3 times in the last 30 years. It actually "stuck" once & didn't melt off until the next noon. Our cats & dogs were totally discombobulated by it. It was something they'd never known before or since.

Otherwise, it rains a couple weeks a year here (not contiguous) and an odd day here or there, and the other 350 days a year I get to ride. I do NOT miss dealing with snow. I shoveled way too much of the stuff as a kid, and if I want to see it now I can just drive up the mountain an hour. I rarely bother.

But, what the hey, here's my bike in the garage two years or so back.
(Those are 3 of my 5 grand daughters.)

Here it is almost in the garage on a spring day in 2006:

http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh269/caddmannq/Nomad/motogirls2006.jpg
I managed to get 4 of them on it that time.
This year I'll shoot for all five of the little rascals. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Cute munchkins Caddman

I am sorry for your northern guys. I did 800 miles last weekend.

[jussmatt]

Nice setup there JustMatt!

[beezer]

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e54/1beezer/Nomad%20Solo/IMG_0677.jpg

[misunderstood]

Even Beezers is more organized then mine. I've had too many other projects since buying this house. I like the duck tape fix on the fan. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[beezer]

that fan saw alot of abuse on constuction jobs

[ringadingh]

Boy; some of you guys have some neat layed out garages, like Jussmatt, thats a nice setup. I wish mine was a lot tidier, but I had a couple large projects that Id been working on, and the crap and clutter accumulated. And I hate parting with anything that I may need in the future. I promised myself that I will do something about the mess this summer. Well; we will see.

[fish]

beezer's workbench looks like mine ..... no room to work

[rlfaubion]

I vote this the best beer drinking place on the forum!!!!

[fish]

I'll drink to that http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif

[terbear]

Good idea Bdog--garage shots

Some of you guys have way to organized garages. I am getting better at keeping track of my tools.

I have 2 pics, one of them shows my other Kawasaki in the background.

Its about 25 degrees now, if it gets to 40 or 45 this PM, I'm riding.

[jussmatt]

Thanks everybody!!! It gets crowded and cluttered from time to time...then I usually get pissed off and spend a day cleaning it!!! I almost always have some cold beer...so anytime somebody wants to come and hang out... you will be more than welcome!!!

[beezer]

Thanks Matt. I wish I could take you up on that.

Geeze, you guys all have such clean garages. Mine looks like a cross between a rummage sale and a grease pit covered in cobwebs. I do dust out the cobwebs from time to time, but Fresno is like Spider Central or something. It's all the orchards you know.

Anyhow I'm freakin jealous because I don't have the ambition to clean mine up more often, nor finish the several unfinished projects cluttering up the place. I need a shed so I can shuffle some of this crap outta there. A tool shed: also known hereabouts as an auxuliary spider habitat.

[Todd]

Well, you guys shamed me into spending the day cleaning the garage...Now I've gotta clean my workbench and organize my tool boxes too :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

HMMMMMM....What's that I notice on the right side intake http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif Snuck that on last weekend http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Hey Hey!

Another satisfied customer! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[jussmatt]

Looks good Todd!!! Thanks for the help w/ the Kury Lights tonight!! Now...to clean up the garage again!!!! LOL!

[ringadingh]

I tried to clean mine up a bit today, but gave up. Its still to cold here to be moving junk around, maybe by next weekend I can get at it. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[socwkbiker]

I refuse to show my garage because after getting most of my grandmother's stuff after she passed away and my step-son moving back in, there's barely room for my bike.

[jrd]

Just got mine home today.

Looks good John.........

Here ya go
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee57/PBandJ_1600/NewBike001.jpg

That's quite the collectiion of plaques and trophies. My favorite color bike as well.Rear tire looks to have 41 lbs of air in it. That is the first Nomad I've seen with a suicide shifter.

LOL, shifter is the handle to my old bike jack settin behind the Nomad. Only one plaque on the wall for the last bike I had, VTX. The biggest part are for a 92 Chevy show truck, a few for a Dakota RT, and a Turbo PT Cruiser. Two from Super Chevy and one from the Editors at Sport Truck mag. Over 100 collecting dust.

[Bdog]

This "garage shots only post" seems to be a hit..as it should be, because riding and wrenching go together. After seeing so many clean garages..I'm embarassed showing mine )thanks a lot guys) so I know what I will be doing this weekend after I finish my "next mod." and will repost with new pic...lol..Bdog

[mikesth]

Finally got some pic taken... Just need to clean up some of the clutter...but it's my "dog house" LOL!


I'm going to work at your house!

OK, here's a garage shot. My friend's Nomad up on the lift, somewhat disassembled.

Come on over anytime my "Tiny" friend!!!! LOL!

[socwkbiker]

I think I would about crap my drawers if I saw my Nomad like that Caddmann! http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

[jussmatt]

After I got done crying.... then I would crap my drawers... of course...followed up by more crying!!!! LOL!

I think I would about crap my drawers if I saw my Nomad like that Caddmann! http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

It could even be worse. That's my garage. The owner of that Nomad was a pro car mechanic for over 20 years, but he doesn't know Nomads at all. He pretty much bough it, changed the oil, and rode it from Hew Hampshire to California.

Once there he had to watch me tear it all apart & do the tires, brakes, driveshaft, swingarm, & forks, TFI, Baggers, & a Caddmann Kit as well.

He wanted to help, but showed up with a broken rib after a tip-over accident in the gravel while towing a trailer. I could hardly bear to see him lift a wrench. I've done all that stuff twice, so I pretty much just whipped it up on a lift and started ripping off parts as fast as my air wrench would go.

Do you know what it would be like for a pro mechanic to watch someone else do that? Not really knowing if he could get it back together again (what with the rib and all) and being 4000 miles from home? Man, I'm glad I wasn't in his shoes.

http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that it was the first time we'd ever actually met in person. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Here's a photo of them, all loaded up and heading back to New Hampshire.
Notice how happy they seem to be that the bike actually runs again? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Wait a minute !! Wolfman! Is that you in the garage? What happened?! You got a haircut! I almost didn't recognize you. Nico and BD didn't make you do that did they?
Darn! Guess I'll have to go get my back waxed now http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif.

Yeah I change my look quite frequently. Almost every week I have someone at work say "man, I didn't recognize you"

Thats my 5X10 trailer. Doesn't get much use but I have it just incase one of you guys break down and need me to come get you. http://kawanow.proboards77.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1196041390

[audiogooroo]

With the short hair in this pic wolfman is a ringer for my brother. Kinda spooky.

Well, I must say, you had me fooled. You could actually be a master of disguise, and have some fun with it. Interesting thought. You could do some serious " chain pulling " on unsuspecting folks. Oh well...... I'm still gettin my back waxed. Sad, that's the only way I can improve my looks ;). The rest is a lost cause http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif.

We spend 10 months a year in Hudson, FL living in our coach and then head back to our home for the summer in Bristol, TN. So my garage is portable. :)

Garage? - Hell I wish I had a garage......

[coacha]

if you look carefully, you can see a squat rack, dumbbells, a bench, my tools, a car topper, my bench press shirts, about 7 bikes, my tractor, a vertical leg press machine, a cone curteosy of CC Highway Department.
