A single garage will accomodate at least 7 motorcycles. In my old place the garage was slightly wider than average and I had 9 packed in there at one point, with a workbench, toolchests, filing cabinet and a huge amount of other junk. This wasn't anywhere near as packed as I had it at times. http://www.flickr.com/photos/78131584(a)N00/1506948115/sizes/l/ -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, SR250 SpazzTrakka, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) Garage clearout - Yamaha SpazzTrakka 250 for sale, email for details

This is because a garage is not seen merely as a storage area, but often as a workshop too. In many cases they're often a thing of beauty, rather than just a dirty dumping ground. I'd go nuts trying to do anything in the garage in the photo you posted. -- Dnc
