Garage!

I used to have to park my first bikes outside in an apartment parking lot. That was a LONG time ago. Thank goodness those days are behind me.

In the garage now. My first bike was stored on the front porch, if you could get that heavy air-cooled monster down the steps, with the steering locked, it was yours.

Garage or in the trailer with a Gorilla ball lock...I back it up to the fence so the ramp can't go down even if the locks were cut off.


Oh yeah, I have a 80+ Akita, and a NOISY Jack Russell, lol.

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

99.9% in the garage but sometimes used to leave my old bike outside under my front deck next to my side garage door entrance. I have multiple cops that live in the neighborhood and all of us have itchy trigger fingers when it comes to talk of someone unwanted coming around. All of them ride as well..

But now the only place is in the garage. None of my cars go in the garage, the bike takes priority...

I need to get another (or replace my door opener) since my last one died. I just had a bit of velcro that I stuck the keychain opener to, that way you can pocket it when off the bike.

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

My 929 spent it's nights under the carport in front of my car. It was open on 2 sides, so that's kind of a cross between garage and outside I guess (I consider 'outside' to be out in the elements/no roof).
Before that I was able to keep my 600s in my Mom's garage.

Garage.

It stayed outside on a porch a couple times at the house I used to rent, but I was too paranoid about it being out there.

It's sort of in the house, sort of in the garage, so I said "in the house."

It's a heated game room off of the garage, which is detached from the house. That wasn't one of the options!

Bike is always garaged After reading this board for a while & hearing the horror stories I'm even paranoid W/it in there & it's attached to my house. I just put comprehensive coverage on it too this winter when I sold one of the quads that I dropped off the policy.

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

I have more than one bike... I have more than one storage place.

They are all guarded by ME , who has no problems with personal protection. A pit bull (that I'd like to get rid of 'cause he don’t really like me) and other various pitfall devices that make an early morning ride interesting if I don't have a cup-o-joe before I head out to the bike!!...
