Re:Would you leave your baby outside? 3 Years, 8 Months ago  
I have a three car garage so all three cars are in the garage, the bike sits between my wife's car and my classic 56 Chevy (just had to get that in to brag a little). Leave it outside, I don't even like to leave it out of sight when I go somewhere.

Wow ... I have some serious garage envy! Wish I had even a 1 car garage cause the bike would be in it!

Mine spends the summer outdoors, but under a heavy duty motorcycle cover. No blue tarp for my baby It spends the winter inside a barn I own a couple of towns over.

Also, my other vehicle is a '99 Jeep Wrangler. Once I pull it into the garage, I put it in neutral and roll it as far forward as I can, until the front bumper is touching the lumber rack at the front of my shop. Then I back the bike in behind it so that I can just start it, drive out, close the garage behind me, and then hook around, up the driveway, and onto the street.

The bike and jeep take up the biggest part of the garage, work bench tools and fridge take up the rest. The wife's truck occupies the driveway. Couldn't imagine it any other way. AND, she has never asked to change it.

Never would I leave my R* outside while at home. My R* is always parked in the garage unless, on the rare occasion, my Bronco requires some fine tuning for its reliable 150,000 mile cage. Just Built a 20X20 shed to put all the yard equipment in to make room for the wifes car. Everyone is happy.

Dude, a 20x20 shed is a 2 car garage.

Mine is in the the 3 car garage, barely squeeze it in. I live on a small lot and have no room for a shed. Have no basement either so the garage is overflowing. Can only fit one car currently.

I Live in an appartment, with garages available for rent. So my bike has it's own garage! I used to chain it up under a carport and with a cover, but somebody pulled the fuel line from the filter and drained my tank. So i opted to go ahead and rent the garage.

She's always in the one car section of the three car garage, packed in with the workbench, table saw, radial arm saw, drill press, plate/disc sander, shelving, kids bikes, air compressor...

Nothing touches her even if it is kinda tight. Easy to get in and out though for daily riding. It would be nice to use that garage as just a workshop, but, I couldn't leave her outside.
