Title: Hoarder or Enthusiast? You decide.....
Post by: ScooterLar on March 31, 2017, 03:59:45 PM
Here's a couple of pics of my garage. I own five Kymcos, two Genuine Buddys and a Vespa. Not pictured are the two dozen vintage mopeds that I store in my neighbor's barn. All of these bikes serve different purposes and have various degrees of sentimental value, particularly the mopeds. Whaddya think....Am I a hoarder or an enthusiast?

My two Like 200's are going to be the first to go if I decide to part with any of my bikes. My wife seldomly rides her beige Like 200 since I got her a Vespa LX 150 last spring and I very rarely ride my Like 200LX since I have much faster scoots in my stable that I can ride.

It depends:   Do you have the mandated 18" clearance to get through to the toilet?
Yes ? Carry on, then.

(I think it was Mark Twain who said: "Who would not own a mess 'o scooters if he had the wallet?")

I told my teen what you had , she said that was "Sick!"
I think that means a good thing. Maybe not...

I have 7 dogs, 15 chickens, a rooster and a peacock...Oh and 2 scooters. Is that excessive? Maybe to Whinnie the Pooh.

 I would need to clean out my garage to fit another one. The last time I cleaned out the garage, my wife got nervous.

I have to say it; these scooter garages with oodles of scooters looks soooooooo cooooool. Man O man would I love a setup like that. You guys are blessed. I'm planning my own scooter shop and looking to break ground soon and start building the pad. I hope to have one before long and enjoy a scooter man cave too.

My best advice is to make it bigger that you think you'll need. I ran out of room in my garage and ended up building a second floor  to house all my parts. Also, make sure to add 220v service when you build it. Comes in real handy if you have a decent size compressor or welder.

Ideally I would like to have a flush mounted automotive scissor lift (BendPak SP-7X) in my garage but I do not see that currently in my future.

Looks about right to me. Where some people see "hoarding", I see a garage as it is meant to be. Nice job, and carry on!
