Im sure this has been done before but I am trying to buy a house and was wondering where everyone else keeps their pride and joy at home?

Bike normally kept in back garden with a 6' high solid fence around and a padlocked gate. It's a bit of a hassle getting it in so if I can't be bothered I leave it in the front garden. I used to keep it at work but there isn't enough room now.
Got talking to a guy who lives round the corner last night who's got a zx6r and he said I can keep my bike in his garage so I might go for that over winter.

On drive at the side of the house with the missus car blocking me in. The thieves would have to lift it over the car to get it out. Its been done before though.

Oh, alarmed, disk locked and i'm looking at a Bike Barn as well.

Keep mine in a garage - but whilst I don't own a shot gun I do have a very big dog
