Question Ultimate Bike Storage

As some of you know, we are lucky enough to be able to keep the bike in our front room.

However it seem if you have an MV you have to take it to the extreme.

This guy clearly would take it to bed if he could!



But for the ultimate in household decor check these pics out.







And the turntable is big enough to take 2 bikes.

I wanted to park my Tornado in the hallway as there's loads of room but was given a definite NO on that one

That is a sure sign that you dont ride your bike enough.

When there was a spate of bike thefts from garages in my area (including 2 doors down) I very nearlly had permission to put my bike in the hallway when I was on holiday.

My dads lined his garage in carpet.

Have to say, the difference it makes when working on carpet instead of a cold garage floor is amazing. I think the bikes enjoy it too

In my garage I think it would be squidgy with oil in about 10 minutes.

My garage has got the tumble drier in there, keeps it lovely and warm.

I want a garage. I do keep my bike indoors tho but at work. Nice and warm but not the same as being able to have your own bike workshop.

He who has the body of a god doesn't have to ask permission from ANYBODY! Was it a Benelli or a plane??
