Livin' with the parents still! Bike first, life later..... I keep the bike in the basement, my mom HATES it. I think the Blade likes the basement, seems happy.

Re: Where do you store your bike(s)?

In the garage at my Mom's place but I roll it into my ground floor apartment - bought some heavy duty extra long mats from Sam's Club. Let me tell you, I gotta crank that A/C up in the summer when I get back from a ride.

Oh, no they are not. A shed is the wooden hut at the end of the garden where all the garden tools are stored and that the male of the house turns into a home-from-home to escape the family.

My bikes are in the integral garage, so in the garage and in the house. (Couldn't tick both in the poll.) Looking to build a bike garage on the side of the house sometime so I can get a car in the garage.

No way would I have a remote garage door opener installed to the bike. I have a mini opener on my keychain that goes in my pocket. Most new garage door openers now have these.

I do the exact same thing. If I go out without my tank bag a stick the remote in my jacket n the breast pocket. Just gotta mash my hand into my chest coming up the street and presto, the door is open.

I keep mine in my pocket... can usually open it even through the leather jacket as long as the opener stays button side up

I do the same. But, in full leathers there is no such pocket and what a PITA to get off, open the trunk, press the button, close the trunk, restart and pull in. THought about a tank bag. Might be investing in one soon.
