biggrin Visit Your MC Day?!?!?!?
The dealer I have my bikes stored at had a "Visit Your MC" day. A sorry excuse to get you in the store for some motorclothes but it worked. The place was PACKED.

Snagged a couple cool pics too.

Motorcycle storage? Now there's a business that does not exist where I live. We do have wine storage, though.

Not me. It's winter here in MN. My wife has one side, I have the other. The bikes are in heated storage with a tender on them.

Having a car outside in the winter SUCKS ballz here in MN.

Probably so you could remove the back wheel without lifting the back of the cycle three feet in the air.

Fortunately, I have enough room to stick my bike sideways at the front of the garage.

Seems like an awful lot of work. If you just park it next to the couch you don't even have to get up!

Yeah, but if your house burns down for any reason and they find you had a motorcycle indoors, your claim gets denied. My house cost a lot more than my bike.

Yeah, I remember seeing numerous pics.


My cousin parks his two HDs in the living room.
My wife is not so accommodating.

Yo Thomas, here's a pic of it, in front of the car.


I store the car at my in-laws for the winter so that I can park my truck in the garage (don't like scraping windows)
Just a normal 2-car attached garage, truck has less than 1 ft clearance to the door.

I just don't have the room for both bikes and two cars. Maybe I could put my wife's car outside all winter and leave the bikes home?

Maybe not.

I'd say, if you're like me and like ALL of your stuff and not only 50% of it, Maybe not sounds good.
