Keeping my bike home with me this winter.

[Fred W]

Hey 'der, JT,

Dat "shed" dere sure looks like a garage, eh? The kind wid'out da petrol pumps.

I bet ya got some good Canadian beer in 'der chillin up, hey?

And I don't care where you are from, parking a motorcycle (or a car for that matter) in your living room, is redneck! :lol:

It's all about the attitude, not the lattitude!!

In all seriousness, JT's "shed" is the bomb diggety.

I've been thinking (dreaming?) of building something along the same lines out in the back yard to put the bikes in, especially for the winter months. It would be good to get that 1/2 of my 2-car garage back for my car. Clearing snow off the car before you go anywhere is a royal PITA!

It would also be really nice to have an out of the way place to work on the bikes and not worry about them being in a state of partial disassembly.

Nice work.

I've posted this before. Only have a carport, so when winter sets in......

Way freakin cool. My new hero.
LOL, back in the day I a TT500, R69 and R60 in the enclosed front porch. Ride up the 3 stairs, turn the bars to clear the door, home sweet home!

The living room was used as the disassembly area. Dining room for clean assembly. Kitchen for repair work. Can't tell you how many engine cases had paint cured in that oven. :lol:

<sigh> I'd guess this will just confirm your perception

Now Fred, I know you mean well, but you say Redneck like it's a bad thing; but you gotta remember somethin'

But, I do owe you a story; maybe it'll bridge the gap somewhat.

Well, my story is this; I used to be a happy bachelor, kept the bikes in the house and generally had a great time!

Then, I met the “little woman”; we fell in love, got married…………

So, the bikes stayed in for a bit, but we decided to build our dream home, and wanted to move up! We found a really good neighborhood where we'd fit in.

It’s really pretty good living in the new place; we have a pool

A cool dog

A pretty good balcony to hang out

But, now I have to figure out where to keep the motorsickle

My huntin buddy Tucker Joe Bob came up with a purty good idea

We had been doing some maintenance around the trailer and found an old truck I plumb forgot about

He was thinkin’ to use the hood and build a ramp up to the trailer door! Dang, why didn’t I think of that! But, the hood wasn’t quite long enough, so we thought of using my old Camaro

But in the end, the little woman put an end to that thinkin’! So now, I found a purty good deal on an extra trailer

Borrowed my buddy’s tow rig to get’er home

So, it’s all set up; got the sickle in one end, and the chickens and goats in the other!

Now, Mama is happy, there’s peace in the house, and she goes out to the races with me…..

Went swimmin’ at the old hole at our family reunion!

And even got an award for fixin’ up the trailer!

THE END !
