I thought the Bretons did lace-making, not knitting.

Nice bikes, shame about the space         :whistle:

Hi mr rocket

Yes you are right there the building is actually 6mx5m and is as big as the building regs would allow at the time, I have to move 2 bikes outside to do any work on one machine in the pic you can see the bandit is on a hydrolic ramp which is a brilliant piece of kit thanks for your coments

Asmith61, just a humoristic comment on my part. I'd like three bikes in my Man Cave! (SWMBO wall!)

I get my free bike space back when our son's Twingo goes out for the Summer.  :shy:

 lol
So how's it going so far then?

Having discovered that my mechanical skills are somewhat lacking I decided it was right and proper to make an effort to learn.

Since 2015 I have been slowly reshaping things in my garden to make a man cave to be proud of for myself, Tigerman and our mate Pete. I have kept these developments quiet for some time but we are getting closer to the end of the project so I thought I would share it with you now as it currently stands. There is still some work to do but it is taking shape very nicely.

Warning - I deliberately picked the music to pish you off so feel free to mute it



Now I need to get oil on my hands and start to learn to the point I understand what you are all talking about when we go for rides out.

Let the fun begin!

@Ridaz that looks mega, Kevin McCloud will be thrilled. I like the idea of the Tigerman gargoyle to keep BMW's at bay.
@kwackboy your cave looks very soothing.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.
