surely its a better question--who doesn't park their bike in the house?
I dont--only cos I cant get it up the stairs

Not any more,but I used to - well,not keep them in the lounge...the house was where I built bikes,the double garage was too cluttered to build up a bike.I built a sidecar in the lounge,had to take the chair off to get the thing down the steps and outside.One day we had my wifes uncle around for dinner and we tried to make a good impression,y'know,being young and all that.We sat around the table,me on the bike - he thought it was a bit strange,but we wondered why he would think that?

When I was in auckland 6mths ago my TLR lived inside,In our entry next to the kitchen.
We had no shed & no way it was goin to live outside,My partner wasnt keen but she understood.

That would be the best place for it, then i could fix my bike while i was watching tv, lol.

Didn't used to keep it in the lounge but I did a rebuild on my GT550J in my bedroom,it was a lot warmer than in the garage.

In the house I lived in with 3 other guys we had my GT550 in my bedroom,a RZ250 in my brothers room undergoing a engine rebuild and a XS650 chopper being built up in one of the other guys bedrooms

Same here - would if I could

My parents wouldn't let me bring bikes into the house, so I moved into the shed.

Now i'm in my own place I feel my garage is adequate for my bikes. I'd rather be outside anyway, the walls muffle the nagging.

He should put in a caption on his add - "has been lounged" rather than "has been garaged." Kept nice and warm in front of the fireplace out of the rain, lol.

There was a pic floating around here of a guy that had his bike next to him in his bed, I think he had his leg over it while sleeping?

Mine lives in the lounge.

Not that the landlord knows.......

Back in my flatting days I did up an XR500 in the spare bedroom, and an RD400 in my room.
Remember selling the RD but the XR lived in the hallway for a while.
Going to work in the morning you`d open the front door, fire up the bike and ride out of the flat leaving my good flatmate to close the door.
No go nowadays though, the VTR lives out in the garage and helmet and riding gear in the house.
