The Harley experience doesn't end after the ride for the owner of this HOG-inspired Man Cave. In fact, you could say it's just getting started.
An enlarged photo of a special trip to Snow Canyon, Utah serves as a focal point behind the bar, where Harley-orange stools are lined up beside a black couch with a Harley logo stamped into the leather.
When the bikes aren't out on the road they're part of the art and entertainment. There are Harleys parked strategically throughout the space so that one is always in view. The walls, shelves and furniture are covered with H-D memorabilia; even the ceiling fan above the poker table was inspired by Harley's famous V-twin.
The homeowner had a clear vision for the space and turned to the folks at Home Concepts, a team of professional designers, CEDIA certified installers and engineers to help bring it to life. They installed a 58-inch Samsung plasma on the wall in the main sitting area, a 32-inch LCD on a swivel in the poker area, and a 46-inch LCD at the bar, which is on a motorized mount and retracts into the ceiling when not in use.
Around the corner is a home theater - an ideal spot to watch movies or videos taken while out on the road.

Custom Audio/Visual for your home:
For larger projects like this, which included the home theater and the option for the owner to pipe in his iPod music collection via the in-ceiling TV audio speakers, count on spending around $150,000 for the AV alone. Costs range anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000 and up, depending on the complexity and scale, and take from as little as two weeks to two months to complete. This project took 30 days.
"In the custom A/V world I would say 5-10% of the value of the house is a good benchmark for the cost a system," says P.J. Aucoin of Home Concepts, Inc. in Calgary, Alberta. For home theater rooms, the company does renderings first, so the client can get a real sense of the look and feel of the room. P.J. says the range for theater rooms is about $15,000 to $75,000. The company also offers their services for one year after completions to work out little things and completely satisfy the client.
