Here are 52 photos of 52 motorcycle garages.

These are small, or enormous, super clean, or super dirty, empty or crowed garages, but they all have at least one motorcycle in them (apart from the first, which is Jay Leno's garage).

Enjoy.

The Jesus Trip scene
Video clip
A review of the movie The Jesus Trip. Another cheap, trashy, biker exploitation movie from the 70's, with loud motorcycles, choppers & off road, no plot, very (and I mean very) bad picture quality, bad directing, no acting, only two names of people, no sex .... a real biker movie.

Funny, and very fake Harley-Davidson motorcycle TV ad.
