it was that saturday before xmas where it was constant rain ALL day, and i was trying to keep up with the car but my visor kept steaming up so i had to have it open (70mph rain drops HURT) and the car went right on a roundabout and i stupidly decided i'll go with it, in the dry it would have been fine but i i threw myself into the corner and the back wheel slipped out (constant rain, soaking roads, right on a roundabout, accelerating, im an idiot) and then caught again, and i olost it and weaved towards the curb. i didnt panic though, just thought, ooh its the curb lol. i managed to get control of it again and just carried on round the roundabout and out te other side, trying to pretend it didnt happen. the car driver saw though and said he'd ride the rest of the way and basically ordered me off my own bike

Doh for your own good I suppose though

How very 1990s I'm assuming its mobile of some description?

Anyhow, does it count as "garaged" if you have it in your house? some places insist on being brick built, I only have a shed so doesn't always count, but I could park it in the utility hmm

If you keep it in your house, dont do this.

I'm sure his Mrs will be pleased, using her helmet, and ruining her cream curtains

when I lived at home, my bedroom was in the loft and I rebuilt my Triumph Thunderbird's engine & front forks in there, me and my stepfather carried the engine up there between us on a sack! I was banging so hard (on the forks, before any comments arrive!) that the plaster was falling off the ceiling of my parents bedroom! they weren't impressed! Jeez! those cast iron barrels weigh a ton!!

we have an integral garage which is as close as the bikes will get to the house. Got 3 bikes in the garage along with 5 cycles and a fridge freezer, 2 bikes out on the driveway with one of the 3 cars.

I went through this with the idiots on the phone when I insured mine.
If its left in the house its classed as "withing the boundarys" which is the same as being parked on the drive or in the front garden.
I mentioned to them that if its parked in the hallway its in an alarmed house within 20 feet of the room where I sleep and its more secure than the garage where its kept.
They said "its just the way it is".
