Anyone else got pics of their Kymco man caves?

Looks like your scoot has a nice dry home.

Thanks Mac.
You'll note still no new screen yet (blimmin post).....but my exopy resin / sticky back plastic repair on the shattered r/h handguard (and stcky backed plastic only on the r/h guard) seems to have worked alright. It'll be good enough for a winter screen anyway.
Annual vehicle inspection time (the MOT in the UK) due next month - which means a year of ownership.
Time flies when you're having fun...

Nice setup Snorvey! I need to build me a scooter manshed!
-
Cheers MrPaul!
It' a Keter plastic shed, size 12' x 8'. Takes two of you about 2 hours to snap together. Nice and soft floor for the old knees. Mine's about 5 years old and has taken the worst of the weather with no issues (no painting either!)
Apologies for the 49'ers waste bin by the way. My mother in law bought it for me when American Football was just starting to become a television thing in the UK - about 20 years ago <gulp>. She thought it was a good idea.
-
Thanks Snorvey. No worries about the bin. I like football but I am not a fanatic about it.
-
I've been accused of being unAmerican (Inventing words again), because I don't care for football. My super bowl will be in Daytona very soon now. Talking about the Daytona 500. I'm a NASCAR fan. Racecar spelled backwards is Racecar. Windshield looks good in the picture Snorvey.

A bit late in posting and mine's more like the Maxi Scoot collection man cave. :) There's a few more not shown in this photo.

That's not a man cave, it's a pit lane garage!
Nice one.

nice shed , we went from 5 above to 25 below today, high of 8 below this afternoon, don't see any one out today,.
-
Leno would be envious. Do you have another garage for your Bentley? Just joking, If I could afford it, I'd have a garage full too. You are blessed.

Nice scooter shops mates. Mine are in a Bike Barn but the darn covers only last about 5 years and need replacement. Sun and water are wicked task masters. Contemplating building a shop and hopefully get one of those HF bike lifts. Kinda cool seeing others storage spaces. Hope others click some pics too and share. I'll get one of my aging Bike Barn and show you what not to buy.

I looked at a Bike Barn initially and was tempted to go for it.
Then the Keter shed** came on offer @ £590* (versus £200) for the Bike Barn. I decided to bite the bullet and go for the plastic shed - and it's been there for 6 years now. No painting, snaps together in about 2 hours, comes with a plastic floor, which can be thrown down on slabs, concete or like mine, straight on the the grass. I wish I had set it on slabs though, as its a bit undulating now.
Maybe a project for next year to shift it, lay slabs and put it back again. Maybe.
*might be a bit more expensive now. I reckon around £850?
**I said 12 x 8 originally. It's actually 11 x 8.

Keter seems to make some nice stuff, I've been looking at one of their storage box/benches for the patio.

I have pictures of the build. I'll try and find them and upload a couple.
I should add the 2 hours was for me and the neighbour building it. It's impossible to do it yourself.

Sorta germain :
After my first visit to the home of my wife's parents....I asked her if her parents had renters in their back yard.
She laughed and said, "No, silly!"
I said, "But what is with that other nice L shaped ranch home back there?!" It was confusing because he added a second large double car garage door on the back of his 2 car garage....I figured so the tenets could drive right through his garage and park on the pad by their house in the back yard.
Her father builds stuff for a hobby...or to get away from my mother-in-law.
He built a nearly full sized L shaped ranch home 'garden shed' in his back yard; shingled roof, nice vinyl siding, several double glazed windows, a couple of doors, gutters, roof vents, etc., etc. Looks to be about 1500 sq ft. It is so big that it has its own garden shed.
I think he'll pay for the shingles if I let him roof my house for his birthday.

thank goodness for 3 stall garages...part of the 3rd stall is my 'work' area....try to keep it clean but just doesn't always work out..

Here's what a Bike Barn looks like after about 4 years. Cover rots and tears at points that rub on the tubular frame. This is the trike Bike Barn that originally stored my Goldwing trike and now 2 scooters. As you can see I don't trust the water repellancy of the cover now and use Individual bike covers too. To me this is a throw away cover unless you want to pay about $300 every 4 years for a new cover replacement.
