How do you like that flooring, and why that over epoxy? Looking around at options for our new house we're buying, I'm getting a full 24x24 just for bikes as the house as an attached for cars.
Flooring is nice. Easy install and can take it with you if you ever move. Keep it clean and it will serve you well. I got the tile from floorjunkies.com. Racedeck is way too expensive. I had epoxy on my regular garage floor but it would peel where the vehicle tires rested. To keep epoxy nice you have to let your car tires cool down before you park it.

Something I'm noticing- large majority of everyone has more than one motorcycle in their garage.

Here's the bike working corner of our 3,200' shop (about 20% of the total space). Not pictured is the full bathroom, gear area, bike storage, gym, tractor, UTV, car working area, home project area, and 20x40 entertainment loft which includes all our moto memorabilia.

Basically this is the reason we moved out to the middle of nowhere.... well that and all the awesome riding all around... I should try to get better pics of all the moto stuff...

Hey I recognize that shop I just read your article in the new motorcyclist magazine when you did the Elsinore Grand Prix.

Good write-up up and nice shop. Cool

This was my shop in my previous house in South Carolina, how I miss it. My new man cave pales in comparison, but my move to Utah has opened up endless riding opportunities and that in itself is priceless.

Yea that stuff looks great, my ok nly reservation is what happens if you spill something on a seam or water gets in there. Do you have to pull the whole floor up to properly dry and clean it up?

Yeah i Notice that to but its become a wealthy sport, another thing i notice is that if you think other things that maybe would take away peoples recreational money like Side X Sides and four wheelers and Expensive mountain bikes E-bikes etc, the people that have dirtbike's are buying all that stuff too , what im saying is not one or the other .
Some cant afford any of it , and others can afford all of it it seems.

I can’t be the only poor one around here! Here’s my not ideal setup. It has personality though!

It’s not the size of the operation, it’s the memories you put inside of it.

Garages are a tempting place to pile shit into, when I’m out on my routes at FedEx and I see the insides of peoples garages filled to the brim with junk. It’s sad. Because to us Motörheads it’s handa down the most important room in the house. My chick gets to decorate the entire interior of our house. Meanwhile I spend dorkwad cash on shit to make my garage a dream. And I rent my spot now. Buying a place this summer and literally cannot tell you how tits out my man cave will be.... but our mortgage won’t be a cunt hair over $170k.

Hey man. I got the big dick shop now but that's only a recent development... (in the past year). Prior to that I've had my bike stashed in a half falling down garage with tarps for walls and snow coming in, or fully crammed into a single car garage where I'd have to move everything out into the community parking lot to work on my stuff... then shove it all back in at night...

I really like how you are setting up your little shed. Keep at it.

I have posted these photos before. This is Jessy Nelson's garage. I hope that I can get my garage fairly close to how this is setup, minus the KTM and 20 TLD redbull helmets.

I appreciate it man! Yeah I kinda dig it actually, I feel like vin diesel in fast & furious opening the old barn with that beautiful Charger sitting in there every time haha. Luckily I have a good buddy with a clean shop, all the tools and a lift whenever I need to do big stuff. Just getting back into riding after an 8 year hiatus after destroying by back in high school back when I was decent. Only 25yo so aspiring to keep riding for fun and have a badass setup like some of these down the road! btw you guys all rock I’ve been lurking vital a long time and soaking up all I can!
My gnarly hardware for anyone interested

I just bought a house with a 3 car garage. We are epoxy coating it next week before we move in. I'm so stoked.

The guy I bought it from is an old man that rebuilt a Studebaker. He's got (Edit: I've got) built in cabinets and a full wall pegboard. I'm in heaven. Can't wait to get in there.
