I feel for you, Nighthog. Most garages in Britain are used as utility room, laundry, general storage for things you haven't got round to flinging, kids bicycles, lawn mower and so on. I'm
so lucky to have a garage which is 99% devoted to three motorbikes and associated clutter. Got to come clean, the 1% is a freezer - it's a second freezer, required for overspill garden produce which won't fit in the freezer in the house. The Head Gardener has a shed to keep her lawnmower. And - this gets better - since I bought her another, larger shed to use as a garden store, has given up the brick building which she used for that purpose so that I now have a separate building dubbed
the workshop where I can keep general tools and do jobs like carpentry or household maintenance stuff.

In fact, the Head Gardener even painted the garage to look like an old fashioned village garage. And since then, it's on its way to becoming a gentleman's motorcycle haven, with appropriate tin signs on the walls and assorted motorabilia. Don't mean I'm a gentleman of course, just a lucky sod.
Uhm, today, didn't do much to the XS except walk past it. But I
was on my way to tinkering with the Royal Enfield.
