Default I want a garage

So I can work on my bike whenever I want, and not worry about having to finish it all in one go.

Boohoo.

I'd do the same, only problem then is security

If only I could get the SV into my back garden.

I could I guess, but mega $$$ and nowherre to put it.

Access to the back garden for the bike is impossible, and out front lawn where it is parked currently is right outside our living room windows.

If I stuck a massive shed there I'd probably get my nuts removed by the missus!

I have my bikes in a tin shed thingy.
Keeps the bikes dry but a garage it is not.
(unless you're under 4ft. tall)

Hong,
I'm sure that some one said that they park their bike in doors.
Had to fold the wing mirrors in to get it through the front door.
other wise get one of thoes lean too sheds.

Get yourself down on the list to rent a garage from the council, doesn't take long to get one ( I think I waited about 2 months max). 7 quid a week - bargain

I reckon that'd be the shot where there is a problem with access, space or the missus.

Just accept it that if you had a garage, you would be on here complaining you need a bigger garage.

Besides which they become a dumping ground, the missus has a large freezer, tumble dryer in mine. At least the beer fridge is full. but why with white wine and pop.
