hopefully getting a garage tonight

Agreed. If I had the space the bike would be in the house (edit: sarcasm/hyperbole).

dont want the bike in the house.

area isnt as bad as you think. in certainally happier than leaving it in hudds or fax

i would buld a shed in the rear but it will block out light into the kitchen. so its a no goes really. Plus its hard to build a classic car in a shed

It's not much better with a car, I've found. The amount of shizzle that's happened to my and other people's cars parked out on the roads around here is just unreal. A decent, safe spot (on the road) to park is so nice that I'm reluctant to drive somewhere lest it's gone when I come back and I have to hunt for another.

I've got a garage rented in a block a mile from my house. It got done over once before I was aware just how easy they are to get into.

Mine is a home from home courtesy of some low power 230v lights powered by a tiny inverter I plug into my van when I drive there to work on bikes. I've also got loads of metal cabinets and very large filing drawers to keep everything neat and to hand.

You don't want to make yours airtight. They need a fair amount of ventilation. I've had my bikes go mouldy in mine before now.

Have fun!

Try wiping the dead flies of before putting the bike away

Ooh aren't we the clever one!

If it happens this year you can come over and clean the mould off parts that flies don't get to. Thanks.

Clean the dogsh@t off before storing bike?

Andy, is it an up and over garage door on it?
If not, and it's just two outward opening doors, you can always build a decent stud wall in behind them with a couple of decent fire doors and locks on.
I've done this for people in the past.
Makes the garage draught proof from the front and really secure without advertising the fact that there is something worth having in there
