Let's see your garage space.
I do vintage VW restoration and my main shop area is in my basement, but when my son worked as a bike mechanic I needed to make him a work space in the garage. Now that he's gone... its MY space.
The workbench is hinged at the wall, the legs fold in and the top lays flat against the wall.
Rack for shoes made from scrap wood and dowels.
5 bikes hung, 2 under the workbench, 1 on the floor and 8 spare wheels.
Hard to believe there's room for my Beetle and spare stuff.

Though I have had better pics on the camera roll, this is one that shows a small portion of the two room garage and bike shop. The cozy one-car garage was built 100+yrs ago, the attached shop was added in 1944. I have chosen to leave this building intact as it sits behind our house in town, in a very historic area. Last fall I rewired the garage and shop, now having 220v for my compressor.

Up until last summer (2014), The Old Shed was my bicycle workshop/storage place...
Sold the property that was home to The Old Shed, and moved to my summer cottage, during the summer months and Jamaica during the winter. This is my Bike Cave at my lake cottage...
And this is what the bicycle/tricycle looked like once the three wheel kit was installed...

The Falcon trike, once converted, proved to be a difficult bike to ride, to say the least. You will understand why if you take a moment, or two, to have a look at the complete article on the bicycle. The problem - one wheel drive and that drive drives the bicycle to the drive side, and violently so...
As for not ridden much...
The bicycle has been sold, without the kit. The kit was sold to a Bike Forums member and his son seems to like the bicycle. That said, it is not a great bicycle to ride, but it is unusual.
And, for what it is worth, I don't ride this some of my other bicycles, such as this Legnano...
Or my early Marinoni Special...
But I spent the last three months, in Jamaica, putting close to 2,500 km on this old Peugeot, which I gave away upon leaving the islands...

Your experience with asymmetrical drive is the other reason, besides inherent stability, that I strongly prefer a two front / one rear trike geometry. If one is going to have two rear wheels, both have to be driven, preferably with a proper automotive style differential, but at least with a ratcheting freewheel mechanism on each, which still has the unfortunate characteristic of putting all of the driving force on the inside wheel, but at least the effect is symmetrical.
