Topic starter
 

I know this topic has been covered fairly recently, however I have struggled to find the link via a search on this forum and google.

I'm looking for inspiration to build my own. All pics appreciated!

You're asking a lot, not worth the risk for thieves looking in

Why ?

Some man caves even without a single bike in shot can be 5 figures + in tools and equipment,

Not a pushbike no, garage has been broken into though...do you think thieves will really be looking for this kind of thread so they can case sheds?

It's a fact they do and have.
People have been caught over on a couple of the bike forums asking for pics, etc and then caught later after stuffs been knicked.
Handy thing about the bike forums is its a small world and its surprisingly easy to trace people when its your forum and you have the right tools.....

It's quite easy to draw a accurate picture of someone who isn't aware and is a social animal who shares information on the Internet.

For example announcing to the world they will be anyway in France at Easter... 😉

With a name and area, a quick look at the electoral roll will pinpoint someone's address. So after spending £x on beefing up security on your storage of your pride and joy why then broadcast where you reside?

What a lovely world eh!

And by way of example look at the thread in chat about booked holidays. One poster has actually put the dates up when he is away. 🙄

Well sod it, I'm insured and I'm not paranoid, and mainly what you can see in this pic is that it doesn't matter how well tooled up you are, you ain't getting in through the outside garage doors :mrgreen:

OK, my cave will be empty when I go away, as I take one bike with me and deposit the other else where!

However, my cave is shite so it won't be seen on here for the fear of public ridicure 🙂

That IS tidy. Everything in its right place- hammers on the hammer board, inner tube on the inner tube hanger...

Lazy- close, but it's a very modified SV650.

Not because I want to pay a visit but because of my own concerns on posting photo's on the internet, would it be possible for someone to get the GPS co-ordinates of the locations from the photo's above?

Yes.
They can also tell what pants you were wearing from the 'reflective negative' the photo takes.

It's still not a TL :mrgreen: But otherwise, good spotting- GSXR750 (K6 I think) forks in SRAD yokes, with R6 brakes and a Fireblade-spec Dymag wheel and single 330mm rotor.

Surprising how easily this stuff all bolts together (if you've got a good selection of hammers).

Cross bike... My right knee and hip are pretty well foobarred so I don't clip in offroad, would take very little to write either of them off. Did for a while on the road but I hate having bikes I can't just jump on and ride so I switched it to flats. Haters gonna hate...
