Just a pointer on insurance, I had a bandit nicked off my front garden a while ago, insurance policy stated that the bike was garaged.
Insurance company tried to charge me £400 as the bike wasn't garaged at the time of the theft, even though I hadn't actually finished my working day and therefore the bike was still in use.
Long story short, I now have my SV insured as being "off road" when not in use, even though it's still in a garage.
[edit] I rent a council garage, I'd imagine it's not so relevant if you have a car-hole on the side of your house
