I was thinking of doing it until I can build me a building.

Keep mine in the basement during the Winter months.

I have a two car garage... just barely enough room (with the junk I have in there) for two cars and my bike.

I could probably fit another bike if I cleaned it out.

If I was single, I could/would.

But alas you have to choose your battles and I keep the bike in the garage.

I kept mine in the living room for the first year I had it. Didnt have a garage or other outside storage. Then I got tired of the meatloaf tasting like motoroil and gasoline....

Have a Handi House building I park mine in.

I would but my wife won't let me:)

I don't think it would fly with the wife....but I'd FIND a way to get it into the basement,if I had to....

Short of that, I bought a woodstove for the garage (after I finished insulating it)...so she stays pretty comfy most of the time...

the bike, not the wife.... :laugh

I had Tuffshed Build me a Motorcycle garage.

Park in my house, sure, If i want to get shot.

mine lives in my walk out basement durring the winter months along with my wifes and a buddy's

oh...i put yes thinking in house meant the garage. my dad wouldnt care but my mom would kick my ass ten ways from sunday. i think it would be cool to have a 3 season room and have a harley bubble for the winter months

The Sporty sleeps in the garage and the DL1000 sleeps in a metal shed in the backyard. The Sporty stays dry and the DL collects moisture.

Both bikes are in a garage heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer.............hey, they're my children, would you expect less...........

I have a 2 stall garage and keep it in there between the boat and car. I think trying to get it in and out of the house would be asking for dropping it since its not a straight shot and up a cement step.

When I was nineteen I lived in a converted garage... and kept my Honda in there with me... :tour

No storage building for me...outdoors (even in the winter!!) under a carport with a thick Guardian WeatherAll cover :)

My old lady let's me bring it in the den when NASCAR is on during during the summer so we can wax it up while we watch the race. Some times it get to spend the night too.

I live in a loft space on the 3rd floor of a industrial building with a club on the ground floor, I bring mine up the frieght elevator everynight it is parked right next to my kitchen counter just on the outside of the kitchen.

If I could find a way to drive my bike down the 4 wooden steps into my bedroom at the house I live in at school I sure as hell would! But she stays in the shed outside which the previous owner of my house kept his Electra Glide and Sporty in. I don't dare roll her into the house because the stairs probably couldn't hold her weight.

Single car garage. Usually by itself but when the Expedition has to come in so the wife doesn't get wet, the bike goes on the jack and tucks up nice to the cabinets and shares the space nicely.

If I could I would take my sporty to bed........mmmm that sexy thang...:roflblack but for now,she will have to stay in the shed.

Mine has its own room, makes it easier to check on in the middle of the night. ;)

My wife said she doesn't have a problem with me working on any project in the house as long as she never has to ask me to move the transmission before she takes a bath!!!
:cheers

Plus since its a kicker, it starts alot easier on those cold mornings:tour

Livin room...

Adios

Leanne sleeps in between my wife and I's cars in a warm and cozy 2 car garage.

I live in a 1 level apartment style setup. There is a foyer and my girl sleeps there. As close as possible to me.

I tried last nite to move mine inside. Neighbors now are convinced that I am crazy. Damn door into the kitchen wasn't wide enough. Now it's outside under a tarp. I really need to fix the garage door.

So how much to widen the kitchen door??:D :D

In the house during typhoons. It is a necessity. Otherwise in a bike barn.

In the garage covered, on craftsman lift and the battery tender is plugged in. it might snow today. hey some of these responses sound like larry the cable guy, is he a member here. just funnin. we have a living room with furniture that nobody uses but it wouldn't fit through the door and that just isn't going to happen in this life. I love my bike but not in the house.

Currently no but damn it if I could I would. Maybe when I get moved into my house this coming summer.

I have a big room that we store our junk in and the washer and dryer are in. There is a sliding door onto the patio. I'm able to wiggle the handle bars and roll it in and out easily. She lives in there all the time I'm not riding her. The wife objected at first, but now she sees it my way.

Ride to Live and Live to Ride

Reb

Right now both of our bikes are in the garage and the car/truck are in the driveway. (have been all summer...)

Husband is finishing up our "Motorcycle Storage Building"! All that's left is to build the ramps. It's gonna be sweet.....

In the house? No...they are gonna have their own house. It's 12 X 16. The link below is a pic, but not a very good one. Siding, shingles and shutters match our house....

Parked outside under a cover.

Cheers,

During the warmer, dryer days, she stays in the driveway under a cover. When it is going to rain, or be up for a while (winter) she gets to go to the shed

http://home.comcast.net/~jeff.j/shed3after.jpg

I have a huge basement/shop. Lots of woodworking tools, my welder, and every hand and power tool available, etc. There is room for my bike, Shark Babe's ride, and my riding partner's Dyna. We have a Craftsman lift and plenty of room to work. TV, frig, lounge chairs, etc.

As I got older and decided what I really wanted in a home, I decided that a massive work area was essential. Even if little work gets accomplished, it is an escape of sorts. This was something my Dad always wished for, never got, and I never understood his passion for such a place. Now I do. And I guess I am more fortunate than he...

Winter in Mich is long and gray. Being able to work on the bike brings light and life to a dreary time... How I'd love to share this place with some of y'all!!!

The garage abuts our large family room and it would be an easy move into the house but, alas, the wifie won't have it. Unless we move, the bike and wifie's car stay in the garage while my car sits in the driveway.

Got a two car attached garage. The Sportster resides there, and so does my wife's car once the frost hits. The bike seems happy enough there, but it's always glad to see me.:laugh

Mine lives in the garage. I would put it in the basement, but the handlebars are too wide to get through the door...

two sportsters in my dining room as I type :D

This is my first winter with a bike. I'm hoping the door into the heated, finished basement is wide enough to fit her thru. Wish me luck!

Denise:tour

I can't keep mine in the house until it is house broken and stops leaking!!!

she wont let me! we got into a serious argument about it too! so i setteled for a shed!

I have in the past in a few different situations. Can't get it in the present location. We do what we must!
Ride to Live!

No need to. My garage is bigger than my house.

my garage is part of my house, so i can walkin in the house from the garage, even in the coldest nights i doubt my garage gets under 50 deg. so i turn on the
porty elec heater, turn on my chepy radio and blisfully polish her up. life is good.
it helps to live in sunny so california
the good no bugs,no humidity, no snow almost no rain. 45 deg is a cold morning that will go up to 70 deg by noone.
the bad too many folks and no trees to see. not green just brown outside.

two sportsters in my dining room as I type :D

Thats one of the better uses of a dining room I have heard. Mine is an empty waste of space.

If there was any way to keep it inside the house, it would be. ;)

It's nice and cozy in the garage tho.


Bart

We keep ours in the workshop. The whole room is bigger than our living room and my man lives there all the time so how do you define a living room? He has got a great stereo, every tool needed s separate shower and a small kitchen down there. Next he will be wanting curtains for the windows. Its nice and warm and the only thing missing is a bed...

Mine's in a shed in our back yard. Now, hotel rooms are another story! :D

My Dyna is garaged. My sportster is kitchened.

Ive been calling her the Kitchenglide

in the garage ........i would like to keep it next to my bed .....but my mom says i cant ha ha ha ha ha........just kidding

Kept mine in the living room for 4 years until I got a bigger place with a garage.

well i got mine in the kitchen right now, and my wife said it was ok for this year and next spring we are building a garage for the bikes.and today after work i will take the time to wax and polish it all up. sweet. :banapart

Have a 2-car garage, room for the wifes car our bikes a work bench air compressor big tool box and heater, needless to say it's a bit of a party room when needed, tv, tunes and a small fridge.

If/ when I get caught up on bills and stuff, i'd like to double the size of my shed.

I keep my cycle in my apt on the 8th Floor during the winter.I live in downtown put it on the freight elevator.

Don't think that parking the bike inside would be good for my health...plus (see house) it would be hard to get up the stairs. I have been parking it under the house with a Nelson Rigg cover.

The bike has been very patient as I (slowly) work on his new home:

I'd put it in the living room if I could get it up the porch steps! But I have to settle for keeping it in the barn with a light cover on it. He has lots of room:
http://xlforum.net/photopost/data/500/Barn.jpg

my bike is in the driveway (covered)
In the process of building a new shed for the bikes (We have 4 to store for the winters)
The old shed only held 2 bikes tight and was starting to rot.

Mine is parked in the basement right next to the beer fridge and polishing rags - literally.

Have only clipped the mirrors a few times on the door jamb :frownone

:thinkbeer

Mine fits thru the kitchen door however I got busted by the guy next door. So now my baby is in heated storage 2 miles from the house and is checked on once a week.

busted? for what?

bringing my bike inside to the kitchen. I rent the townhouse next to his ( I don't know how long I am staying in the area so I haven't thought of buying a place yet). However he was the one who set up the heated storage for me.

how did you get it up the stairs???

Nope. One, the wife would kill and two, it's a bike and it's meant to be in the weather. Mine sits outside under a carport but it's never covered.

Now when I go to work, it gets parked right next to my desk sometimes.

I would keep mine in my living room, but I cant get it up the stairs! SO Ill be looking for a place with a garage when my lease is up

My bike are all parked out front, usually with a bike cover, sometimes not.

Cheers,

Brett

I kept mine in the living room for the first year I had it. Didnt have a garage or other outside storage. Then I got tired of the meatloaf tasting like motoroil and gasoline....

But, I like motoroil and gasoline flavored meatloaf! :laugh :laugh :laugh

My Stays with me in my room. Sorry about the mess...


http://xlforum.net/photopost/data/500/My_Garage.jpg

Before I had a garage I use to keep it in the living room. Sicne I had my first bike stolen from in front of the house, I wasn't going to let it happen to the second.

Living room is best. In the winter you can put "On Any Sunday" on the bigscreen, sit on your bike and make motorcycle noises. Don't do it while you have company.

If I didn't have a garage, I sure would. I feel bad for it in the garage, so sometimes I go out there just to look at it :tour

LOL thats great! reminds me of the Cheech and Chongs Next Movie where Tommy Chong has his Chopper in the living room with a hose connected to his exhaust pipe and running out the window... hes blastin some biker song on the stereo smoking up a storm and revvng his bike.... the exaust is going out the window and killing his neighbors roses.

I Voted no !

But if I didn't have a Garage I Might !

Thay make great Xmas Trees !!!
And they don't leave those little pine needles all over the place, ( Maybe a drop of oil!)

Every winter the house,spring,summer ,fall, garage.Us to keep it in the bedroom,living room but now i own a house so plenty of places to keep it.

I voted Yes.
We have an enclosed front porch. 1/2 of it is used for the bike.

I keep mine in our attached garage. It's insulated and heated in winter months.

I voted yes, for my husband has his shovel parked onder my drying machine, at the backdoor.
How many times I did hurt my legs against his pointed (and sometimes bloody hot)pipes !!!!!!:censor

My little sporty has to do it with a shed, sharing it with my son's trailbike !

Yup!

Nowadays, she even has her own mat to sleep on!

:smoke

Mine stays in my living room. I'm a batchelor obviously.

:) I mentioned it to my wife but, it took an act of God just to bring my weight lifting equipment into a spare bedroom we have so I didn't have to work out in the garage during an Arizona summer at 115 degrees!

I will keep trying however!

Updates will be posted

Mine spends the winter in the basment.
Wife is trying to talk me into putting a spare matteress next to so I can keep an eye on it at night

I used to have some friends come over every fall and help me drag the bike into the dining room. It had it's good points-the ol girl stayed warm and dry all winter, she was pretty thoroughly polished by the time spring rolled around, and it was nice having a 500 pound vibrator handy for 'adventurous' dates....lol

But, I moved on up in the world, and got a garage. I kinda miss having the bike inside for the winter.....

I give my baby the royal treatment and keep her in my room...


http://xlforum.net/photopost/data/500/My_Garage.jpg

Kev...you got everything in that room but a charcoal grill..............Oh never mind......your all set. :p

The wife would never let it happen. So, I didn't buy the bike until I finished building a new garage.

Built a project in my livingroom,(XS650) I kept it there for nearly 14 months,
the deal with my wife was that once completed I buy her new furniture.
I have a real understanding woman xx.:banana

keep mine in the garage (attached) through the summer, come winter when riding isn't optimal, i move it to another room in the basement so i can keep a car warm and snow free as well.

If I had a walkout basement and no wife I would.

Lily stays in the garage. But, back in the day ('80), I shared an apartment. I put the Suzuki in the living room until the apt manager found out, then it was in the lot.

If I could clean up the garage some (alot), then maybe I could get a car in there. Right now I have enough room to get Lily and my sons' bicycle in there and I'm able to walk about halfway back.

Mine stays in the detached 2-car garage along side the wife's bike and minivan. I cover both bikes with cotton bed sheets so the dust stays off 'em.

For those of you who actually bring it into your house, does your insurance agent know? I gotta believe if you had a house fire, you would have some explaining to do. I wonder how that works...

I keep mine up on a jack covered in a Heated Garage.

I live in an apartment building in NYC. I'd be difficult to explain to the Bldg Board why there's a Harley in the elevator :D, but at east there's room in the garage for it, heated garage to boot :)

Keep mine in the basement during the Winter months.

how do you get it in and out of a basement?
