I wouldn't hold your breath. I started this project a month ago and was so disheartened by it I kept some of the bikes in the van for a bit :lol:

Success, I’m sure it will be a lot less exciting getting it out again.

Under no circumstances am I allowed to have it running down there :lol: I remember the days when my missus would help me get my kmx through the front door and into the living room, when we lived in the seedier part of town, before I had a garage.

I'm fortunate to have two work spaces - one in the shed at the end of the garden, the other in my cellar. These pics are of the cellar (fairly obviously). Unlike Gregor I wouldn't even think about trying to get a motorbike down there. The biggest/heaviest thing I've ever managed (with assistance) is a VFR750 motor.

The editor won't let me add more than 3 pics to a post, will continue in another post.

I bloody love cellars. They're secure (or as secure as you can get), they're warm (comparatively) in winter and cool in summer and they're multi-function spaces. I wouldn't buy a house without one. Mine is as cluttered as you like, despite my best efforts to keep it tidy, but just about workable.

I gave mine a spring clean and shifted some boxes of parts to one of the other outbuildings in order to make room for a other bike.

Mightily impressed with both the tidyness and the way you've crammed so much into such a small space but with everything being accessible and useable.

Fobco pillar drill. Mmmmmm.....

I could have sworn I had some nice pics of my workshop, but damned if I can find them.

I'll take some next time I'm in there (if I remember).

Here's a couple to whet your appetites :

Mine is a little more organised than it was 4 years ago,when I first posted this pic.

Today. It'll be a little more cramped when the next bike arrives soon,but manageable.

I'm glad I don't have that much space @Yorick as my bank account would be crippled filling it with bikes. :silent:
