I went camping and couldn't leave home without my garage...I had some funny looks from people when riding my bike into the tent. But it is too purdy to be out in the cruel harsh elements.![]()

Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
Around about 13yrs ago my mate was the live in security at Riccarton House (Dean's Bush ChCh) which is a Heritage Buildingand he kept his Guzzi 1000s in one of the rooms, He'd ride it up a ramp on the back porch through the door down the hall and into the room.
Used to get a few odd looks from tourists when we'd get back from a ride and he'd ride the thing into the house![]()
One of the many pics from the house warming. Here is a budding young rider enjoying the z50j...![]()
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
Check out my profile pick, thats not a shed, its the living room, havint put the Gip on yet
When i was a young flatter i had a bedroom that was just inside the front door of a big old house . My room was originally a lounge so very big and an open fire and shit. I just rode the traily in the door spun it 90 degrees and parked it next to the fire place lol. Flats didnt have garages in those days.
Cant remember if we told the landlord either .
My flatmate rebuilt a 350 chev motor in the kitchen which didnt matter to us as we didnt know how to cook or have basic stuff like pots and shit anyhow.
Pots were for drain trays with an ergonomic handle wernt they ??
Because I can......ride in turn the bike around in the kitchen and park her ready to go

If your missus is going t moan about having the bike in the house you need a new missus. It's a trivial thing and only occurs for good reason, ie; no garage, working on the bike during winter and it's cold in the garage OR it accentuates your good taste in interior decorating.
I built a 650 Triumph inside the house once, the missus didn't really approve, but who cares? I divorced the mental midget.

Kept a few various pieces of bikes and a mates rm250 inside the barracks, until we got found out!
Also used to do all my maintaining on the bike (oil changes, bleeding brakes, polishing etc) in the barracks foyer as it was lit and out of the rain.
Pic's long gone but the story still fresh in my head. When I was first introduced to motorbikes in 1985 my partner took me to meet some of his mates in Hokitika, just south of Greymouth. We met up with three guys along the way who lived together and made our way to their house. It was raining (as usual for the coast) so everything was a little damp when we pulled up at their place. To my amazement, they opened the back door, and all three just wheel their bikes into the kitchen/dining area. This was a true bikers house. One Norton, One BSA, and one Trumpy.

Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?
had my zxr250 parked inside once when the olds were away after a rather spirited fight club ride which popped my rear shock (lovely see-sawing motion while 'cornering'). i forgot that rear shocks have oil inside them and parked the bike inside. whoops..
still a few tiny drops (weird light coloured oil too..) between the tiles.
the olds are away till saturday, i'll park the 10 in there tonight and get some piccies haha! if it fits anyway.
good effort so far guys!
Is it cheating if I built a room onto my house just for bikes?
My 1952 Thunderbird (with a glimpse of my JPN in the background).
My Bimota SB8R's (one for street riding, one for racing).
The two SV650's I used to race, with bodywork off for repair/repaint.
My 1928 Douglas EW350.
(There's more, but that's all I have pics of right now...)
