Where Do You Park At Home?

[VTHokieAg]

Just curious as to where all of you park your bikes at your house. We had a thread recently showing NC's parked at people's place of work and it made me wonder about where you park at home. Is it in a garage, outside with a cover, etc?

I have maybe a unique situation. This building is in my backyard and I removed the stairs and built this ramp when we bought bikes. I go up and down it everyday. I could keep it under the lean-to on the right of the building where the camper is but I like it completely out of sight and weather. You can see the NC in there now.

That's similar to my situation.

Mine gets to spend its nights in our 20x40 shop behind the house with my Dad's ST1100 and the dirt bikes. The floors are all concrete, and it's got a smallish garage door on the front. I wish the door was a bit bigger, my truck doesn't fit inside

Out in the sun/rain. We keep talking about putting up a shed or something, but it'll be a while before that happens.

I part under the front of my 5th wheel camper during riding season and it goes in a large storage unit with my other bikes when I park it for the winter.

It sits in the garage beside my wife's car. My car gets to spend its time soaking up the sun's rays in the driveway.

That is Awesome. I'm in between houses. Just moved to Arkansas so I live in an apartment complex until the house sells up north. I park on my front porch. I could really handle having a shed like that.

Sitting in the middle of the driveway, pointed in the go position. Now to just get my body ready to go, and ride.

In the garage. I park it sideways in front of (or behind, depending on how you look at it) my pickup.

I garage it. Like many many houses in San Francisco, the main living areas are on the 2nd floor, we have no basement and the ground floor is a garage. Most still have room for a car, but 90% also have extra rooms or an in-law apartment built in. When street parking gets tough, we can fit the NCX and the Fit side-by-side.

At work it sits out in the parking lot all day. I don't like that--in addition to the sun, we're only 1/4 mile from the ocean and I'm sure the salt isn't great for it.

sitting in the garage, next to other bike, car, lawn mower. One big happy family.

mine is in my half garage, the previous owner enclosed the carport into a separate room and a work/storage area, which is where the bike is, beside the beer fridge. I like to keep my bike out of sight. Even if it's locked up outside, it's to easy for a couple of burly guys to come along, break the lock/ cut the chain and lift it into a pickup of cube van and be gone is like 30 seconds.

When I'm not playing, I put all my toys away in the TOY BARN, a 44' x 48' post frame building next to my house. See the little Ruckus headlights peeking out?

The NC700X: 80 MPG; the boat sitting behind it: 3.5 MPG.

That is badass. One day I'll have that. Not in this god forsaken state, but one day I'll move to a free state with reasonably priced land and do something like that.

For now, it sits here:

Mine is in my covered carport.

Yikes, that's 3 times bigger than my house.

 

[VTHokieAg]

You guys have some really nice set ups

......the boat sitting behind it: 3.5 MPG....

I believe the proper measurement in this instance is smiles per gallon, that way higher numbers can be used.
