i love everything about a large shop except the cost to heat them.
Yep for sure, I keep at 50 when not there and open the big door as little and quickly as possible. Lol! That said it's insulated well and I have painted black aluminum panels on inside of windows. Amazing the heat that comes off them when the sun is shining on them. Remove them while I'm there for the added natural light.
Man these make me jealous. I don’t have any pics of it, but luckily my garage is just large enough to fit my 350 CCLB with front and rear bumpers and 37” tires. It has about 4” clearance front to back, and 1/4” clearance from the roof. Tons of side to side clearance even with our 4Runner in at the same time luckily though.
....f350ktm.... I would have loved a shop like that when I owned my 2005 1000rr!....
As stated above that shop is Tricon's. Way nicer than mine.
Assuming you speak here of the BMW S1000RR here is our BMW GSW. This Telelever suspended bike is amazing for long hours in the saddle.
Throw on a pair of Heidenau K60's and we ride 2 up on any road surface under any weather condition all day long.
The perfect balance of performance and comfort.
Come to think of it, I don't think the BMW 1000RR came out until '09 or so, you meant the Honda.
Thank you! It belonged to my father-in-law, but was sold off a few years ago. My wife and I would love to purchase it back, but with a 1 year old at home and my wife becoming a stay at home mom, it's not really in the cards right now.

Well 6mo after being built my father in law had a massive heart attack that lead to a forced retirement. So...myself being a small business owner this allowed me to move my stuff in and buy them out. Only issue its about 45 min from my house and my wife will not move back to her home town where this is near. lol! Oh well we have hunting ground near so this also serves as my hunting "Cabin"
Also, is a pic of my drag truck, one of many reasons I stepped up to a super duty was to pull my car hauler for the drag truck. Cool to see other motor heads on here as well. And other yamaha sled owners!!
Beautiful shop and truck. Sorry to hear about your dad's forced retirement. Several years ago, my step father was forced into retirement due to a broken back about 6 months before his planned retirement. 35+ years of truck driving and he was so close to finishing on his own terms.

Awesome to see that you take your hobby seriously! I like the tape/paint on the floor for your parking stall. I've considered doing something like that to help my wife when she backs into the garage.

The lights compliment the building nicely, and definitely light it up at night.

No kidding! $300/mo to heat my 2700 square foot house w/ attached garage. Couldn't imagine heating some of these "barns".
I just realized how few pictures I have of my garage. Definitely wish I had more room, but it works for storage, parking, workshop, etc. I've been doing more DIY projects around the house for my wife, made her a sign board and some planter boxes. Also upgraded my 3rd gen 4Runner with Toyota Tundra front disc brakes; what a world of difference. In the end, my little 24x24 gets the job done for our daily drivers and whatnot. Thank you everyone for posting!
There were several iterations before the final truss design was selected. The pitch in the interior accommodates the high center doors and ceiling height for a lift without the side walls being crazy high. To make things interesting, the garage is located in a high snowfall area of central NY (Tug Hill). And...I'm from the school that no matter where a post is placed, it will be in the way!
Did you have someone local build it? I'm quoting a good sized building right now (30x64 encosed, with a 24 foot overhang - so 54ft trusses). Amazing how hard it is to find a contractor that will regularly communicate.
now that I’ve up sized my Rig, I need a bigger barn for her. Well that’s what I said to my wife. She said yeah and that’s where you’ll be staying. Can’t really find a down side here. It’s a win win. Besides she can’t cut me off, she don’t know where’re I’m getting it lol. JK wifee poo if your trolling lol.

Yes, the builder was reasonably local...he is located maybe 30 miles away. Northern Central NY is rather rural, so 30 miles is "local".
