    Where does your Spyder sleep? Let's see em.

    Been thinking of doing the floor with epoxy or paint, although there are gravel roads and sand in winter around here. Concerned it won't hold up over time so for now it stays plain concrete.

    That's a nice collection of M/C and Spyder. You have a nice sized garage.

    My three M/C and Spyders are stuffed in with little to no room to spare in winter. In summer, the Outback stays outside.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Default I regret doing epoxy

    I did my garage a few years back with the two part epoxy, and really regret it. It holds up ok, but is VERY VERY slick when wet, and forget about it when it’s snowy and frozen. I’ve ended up losing it a few times. If you do decide to go epoxy, I would highly recommend adding some type of aggregate like sand blasting sand or the like for traction.

    I added the sparkling flakes to mine to make it a little less slick, and it seems to do the job. I think it looks better too.

    Thanks, it's a sickness. It's his, hers, and ours, all packed in there.

    Default From shelter logic to new shed this year

    I used a shelter logic portable building for 3 years and upgraded to a new shed this year. We keep 2 Spyders and a HD Ultra in there most of the time.

    Here is my garage and up above is my office. Downstairs it is 24x28 and upstairs is 24x20. I keep my M109, Spyder, and mustang in this one. The attached garage gets the wife's car and my Lightning. I usually take everything out each spring and organize tools, take inventory (one year I had like 3 oil change kits for my lawn mower), and just give the floor a good sweeping and wash. However, this year has been really busy and I haven't done any of that. Therefore, only outside pictures. Just got the wife a new SUV, so now her car sits outside. She wants to put the Lightning out and park her car inside. I told her, "sounds like we need another garage."
