I enjoy the idea that Richard's spaces are constantly being invaded by sentient motorcycles. Like, imagine he's at work and we cut to security camera footage of his barn here; a lone wild motorcycle peeks into the barn through an open door, then cautiously enters, followed by another wild motorcycle, then another, then another, and they start wandering about, checking out their new home, then Hammond returns home to find a new herd of wild motorcycles have moved in.

Drain the hot tub / pool (to get rid of the moisture) and have a carpenter build you a sectioned cover for it (so that it can be put in / taken out in pieces) and a ramp (maybe one which is movable). Then put the bikes on it, as if it were a short plinth or just a raised display area. You could even have him build in uplighting like you have in the main barn, with each section having a plug, rather than being hardwired into the building. Easily reversible if you ever want and the only cost would be to build the covers.

Loved the tour. For the swim spa, how about draining the water, put some protective coverings and then build the model train room there. You could use the depth of the pool to create a "valley". Something like a swiss village and the back walls could be built like the mountains with tunnels and a small access way behind which could double as train storage on vertical racks along the back wall "inside the mountain. Trains could be at all different heights allowing for multiple runs. Then turn the other room which would have been the train room in the the bike room. The swiss village would be a great concept for winter / holiday times when more people are inside.

It just needs to be made.. functional. So a large enough gauge to carry freight. Then track side "water" towers that the old steam locos used, except these may smell strangely of gin. Wagons could carry flagons, but not to scale. Unless you were planning on pickling an entire village. Other wagons could carry dry goods from convenient silos. Like nuts, M&Ms etc. Log haulers could carry a selection of sausages, and if the topology allows, a small dumb waiter down to the kitchen for delivery of burgers, hot dogs etc. Some model railway enthusiast somewhere on the web probably already has a suitable control/signalling system to manage snack & beverage delivery or there's always James. And possibly a few videos to be made from the construction and testing.. Might need to make sure any bar stools at the stations aren't able to transfer guests from mezzanine to ground floor, should they become gravitationally challenged. Or fit seatbelts.

Hi Richard, thanks for the tour. As for a way to get around your swim spa without extensive demolition and dealing with a large void left behind, I think I have an idea. Have a welder fabricate a platform that fits over the spa. If your spa has built in lighting you could have the floor made out of slotted steel, so that lighting from inside the spa can be seen from the top. Or finish the floor with a solid surface. Then have a simple 1 meter wide ramp cast to allow your bikes up to the platform.

Nice clubhouse! When you asked about the train, my wife's suggestion was to drain the lap-pool thing, install some lifts, and locate the train on a sturdy surface that can be raised and lowered, thus installing the rail set AND hiding the pool (without having to demolish it). She also added, make it *really* expensive. A bit snarky, that one. My suggestion would be to put it on the mezz, but have it be lowered in/out from the ceiling. That way it's out of sight when not in play. Lower it down, play engineer for an hour, raise it back up out of the way.

That is arguably one of the most enviable club houses I've seen. Mr Hammond truly sounds like the sort of lad I'd be chuffed to bits to do a motorcycle trip with. I tried to pitch the idea to Ewan McGregor about circumnavigating the globe on a motorbike but I suppose he wasn't interested. Could do a @Drivetribe series, "Around the World in Eighty Days" or something like that.

Richard, you should know that somewhere, in the bowels of a Honda warehouse is a set of pipes for the CBX that make it sound like an F4 Phantom at takeoff chat. They exist, I promise you. Find them, borrow them and take it for a squirt up the road.

For the first time in my 49 year old life I wish I liked cars and motorbikes more…. That’s an amazing space to show off to your mates 👍🏻

Love the drip trays under the older bikes ❤ Dang Mr H, that's a fine bike collection.

That's a gorgeous space and I love all the bikes in it, and indeed would like to see more bike content generally on DT. Regarding the pool, just drain it and build a decking over it for now, make use of the space without doing any drastic decisions like destroying it. As for the trainset, ehhh. Model trains are cool, but he can put it in his own home. Unless you'd be actually keen on it and play with it yourself, that would be a really big use of your space that could be better utilised.

Make a wooden cover, in sections (think large dining table with leaves to make it longer) to span over the spa (you would of course drain it and dry it completely)to create a display platform, just like you would see at a car show. The underside would have foam so it could rest on the edges of the spa for support. If done right, and out of a nice strong wood like oak, it could support a lot of weight. You may have create some kind of center supports, wrapped in some soft material for mid span support/strength. When assembled (it would take two guys to handle each piece)and in place, you could put the best/most rare bikes up on there…..creating a very cool “motor show” vibe….with the spa hiding underneath for future use! “You’re welcome”CB from California 😁👍

Absulutely stunning!

That Cub "Airfix" model mezzanine rail is amazing

For the dis-used pool...what if you make a frame that slots inside it, fill it with lighting of your colour choice, and cover it in a thick piece of plexiglass or something similar that won't scratch easily and can bare the weight of the bikes? Imagine it, you do that and design a ramp and trim pieces so that there's no real evidence of it being a pool, and at nightime you'll have this showroom - esque area that is lighting the bikes up from underneath and really showing off their curves and features!

Hey Richard, yes mate a model train built in that room would be really nice and I think a vintage one would look real nice
