At night, when the garage is quiet and everyone is asleep...
My tools come alive and caper about.
The caipers strut about stiff-legged,
the hammers jump on one foot.
My saws become flexible and crawl like caterpillars across the floor.
The tape measure slithers like a snail, leaving a trail of slime.
The bench vice compains bitterly that it's bolted to the bench, and bargains with the sockets and crescents to undo the nuts.
Pliers and vice-grips jump about and duel each other,
while the carnivore of the tool-kit lurks in the darkness... the fearsome metal shears, like a moray eel, hides in the darkness ready to mutilate any foolish tool who strays near.
That's what my bike sees when I'm not there.
It's the only answer to why it's such a mess.
But in reality my bike sees a flax bush, some broken concrete, and some bushes. I don't got no garage.

LOL this is a funny topic, BuckBuck!
My bike sleeps in the garage, with company from its big friend the SV. My Volty goes out commuting most days, and also makes short trips to the shops, visiting friends, running errands... so it gets a bit of variety in its life.
The SV stays in the garage for weeks at a time and all it has for company is a car! I think it's probably too snobby to associate with the car. (I don't know if it talks to the beer fridge.)

The VifFerraRi has to share the gargre with two French cars and a whole bunch of junk. Probably explains why it's sometimes so cranky in the mornings.

My Guzzi tries to get it on with the 2 grotty dirt bikes there, with him being a bit of an Italian Stallion, but the old Yamaha "Uma" in her broken
Japanese-English tells Mr Guzzio they ain't worth it, they've been around some dodgy places. :niceone:

My bike and Cajun's bike are nose to nose in the garage, staring lovingly into each other's headlight(s) :sick: They can probably hear what the Hayabusa and Bandit are whispering to each other on the other side of the garage...

My bike has her sexy arse stared at all night by that dirty dirty gixxer behind her, where all gixxers should be. That is until he goes to work in the morning and she's left in the garage all day to look after the kids (ok, my helmet).:stupid:

For those times when you pull up a seat and sit awhile and have a beer or three, admiring the Hornet.

Depending on which way I park my bike in the carport, it either stares at a piece of shit 318i BMW. Or if its facing the other way, it gets to look at quite possibly the best car to come out of the UK

My Ducati is chained to another just like it, but they see nothing as they are under covers, (we're trying to implement a breeding program, but my girl bike is no slut, and wont come accross for Vickis boy bike.)
My Aprilia is sitting behind the stunt bike, and is poking fun at how the rear section is not all scratched up from doing 12 O'clock wheelies, the stuntah is lookin at the stack of tires for the Ducatis, wondering why I dont have such an impressive stock for her benefit. Vickis Aprilia looks at the two Dukes under covers, and sits beside my Aprilia chortling at how it looks better, and every now and then, Gruntas Buell gets to look at the treadmill, in dismay that it does fewer miles than said treadmill.
Those are our bikes evening veiwing pleasures, I however get to look at Vicki at night, so nothing beats my veiw!!!

I keep finding these disturbing naked motorcycle pictures lying on the floor near my bike in the morning... and sometimes there are little pools of fork oil?

My bike...
At night, she sits on her center stand, gazing at the tilt-a-door of my gargre, with boxes of hoarded junk and memories surrounding her, with only the soothing thrum of the (poorly) stocked beer fridge to break the silence of her home.
Occasionally during the day, two small boys run through the gargre, playing with her, crawling over her and making vroom vroom sounds, dads gloves and helmet on.
The gargre is secured by two Warrior Cages blocking the tilt-a-door, making her quite possibly the safest member of the family.
If she could just turn around and work the PS2, she'd probably be happier, but she seems content with what she has...

Its very tense down there. The GSX stares at two mountain bikes and a road bike. GSX boasts about her huge awesome tubes, and big rubber. Mtn bikes 2.1" rubber feels inadequate, but boasts on quality. Road bike sobs over thin rubber, but begs purity. All sneer down on the lawnmower's pathetic 160cc four-stroke. Lawnmower gives 150cc two-stroke weedeater a kick.
I walk in.
All stare.
Breath held.
Whose it going to be today?

Incorrect. Best car to come out of the UK is a Lotus Exige and both of them are in Auckland.:oi-grr:
Mine sots there half looking at the edge of the garage door and half looking at a Toyota Starlet, not the most exciting view.
Im also intrigued why you leave your bike on a paddock stand guy?

This is where I should reply "this is the only time it says the rear of a Honda.... blah blah blah"
But truth is I still like Honda's.
So my bike gets to stare at the arse end of my sexy wifes Honda

Well, I figure if there is a reasonably sized tremor, the bike may topple off its side-stand, then again if there is a reasonably sized tremor, the whole house would fall down on top of it.
With the amount of k's on doing, the chain gets cleaned and lubed every 400-500kms, and so it is habit just to put the bike in the side bay inside the garage and get it on the paddock stand.
I have studied your attached image closely.

I suppose it was a case of: all legs and no drawers...

I'd say that my Aprilia and Scooter both laugh at the pitful Hyosung all night long. :rolleyes: They also all look at the dryer and various recycling, rubbish and other shit that lives in my garage~

This is not why buckcuck does it as he has explained, but some might be interested to know, that when tyre are sitting on cold concrete, it actually bleeds the oils out of them, that's why bike shops have them all on racks off the groung.
If anyone has a race bike, it is best to put them on both stands to avoid it.

In my gargre, the WBP Racing Gixxerthou is up on it's stands so it lords over the other bikes. On it's left side is my gorgeous R6, and on the right is Ray's F3 race bike that we're storing for him at the moment. At the back of the gargre sits my newly acquired RGV250, gazing adoringly at the pretty bikes and looking forward to the day when it will look just as good.

My strom sits right next to the R80 knowing that it will never got the places the R80 has been or ever live as long. It only maintains its self esteem by knowing it has a tad more performance, better brakes, better fuel consumption, better suspension, better seat.........
