This is the bigger garage, I moved up this summer from a 10x10 shed to a 1 car, all that shit was crammed into the 10x10.

I wish.
I have a 3 car.
In between my shit and my kid's shit, it looks like a used bike lot. Pocketbikes to fullsize and everything in between.
I think we might be motorcycle hoarders.

well ya'll got bigger than I do... I've got a parking spot... that my car and the DRZ share

it's like people don't believe in garages here. or covered parking for that matter. even most houses that are more than 5 years old have their garages converted to an extra room (or maybe they never were garages... just look like it

)

Dont you guys get a ton of big hurricanes and tropical storms? Do you bring your bike in the house when they hit?

Mr Lefty · 09-11-2010, 11:43 AM

well that's what I don't understand... I'd think they'd want their cars/trucks/bikes in a garage when a storm hit... I mean in shit like Katrina, no a garage won't help... but in most others it'll protect that investment... instead they let them sit outside where they flood and get damage from flying objects or falling tree limbs.

we haven't had a bad storm since I've been here... but if we did I'd ride to work, cause I have to shelter with the airmen, and just park my bike in the building.

if I think the wind is gonna be bad enough to blow the bike over, I'll lay it down on the grass... better it skate around and scratch shit than slam over and break shit.
