Did you know...?

[ZX-12R]

Did you know that if you do not have a garage, but if you do have a 3 season porch, the ZX-12R will fit through a standard sized entryway door with about half an inch to spare on either side of the handle bars?

***NOTE*** Mirrors must be folded back to reduce friction on the door jamb...

Nope, i never knew a bike would fit through a normal house door

[ZX-12R]

Hey thats no fair! Your Yammi is a skinny little bitch compared to my porker. I had to suck in my gut (mirrors) to get in the door and my love handle-bars barely cleared!

Anyhoo, here is a picture of the less important shit that had to move. I was thinking about moving the TV in front of the bike and pretend to race while watching some superbike competition. I would have to wear all my gear since it is damn cold in there!

I can't believe that you put your bikes in your house. Whatever happened to garages????

[Jaynnus]

I should go dig out my pictures of my bike....living in the kitchen!!

Before the garage was born....the bikes always slept the winter away in the house!!

Kitchen???

That yammi isn't a skinny little bitch, it's actually fat and porky And i do have to fold the mirrors in to get through the door

The bike stays nice and warm in the house, plus you can see it every day

you guys suck. i live on the 2nd floor of a lame apartment building. after my R6 got stolen we tried getting my friends R6 into the elevators to bring in into our house (loft space / converted factory, tons of room). however, we had a few 'complications'. the bike wouldn't fit, and then security showed up and wasn't too happy. should have taken pictures. i'd kill to keep my bike in my house. maybe it's time to move.

dood you're leaving out the most important part, what about the flight of stairs?!?!?!?

[TheIglu]

I've had my bikes in two different dorm living rooms and kitchens.

I would keep my bike in my current living room if I had the means to get it up here. Until then, both of my babies stay 28 miles north in the parents shed

Garage? Sure, I'd love a garage! Too bad I couldn't swing a bike if I had to pay for one....soon....soon....

Oh yeah, the stairs 10 steep steps with just ennough overhead clearance to fit, i should take a video of that sometime

Even the REALLY porky (but very mint) 1986 GSXR750 that my Man God rides fits through a normal door with the mirrors folded... so does a 1992 EX500... we put ours in the back-basement... where it's heated... and now that I think about it, that doorway is narrower than typical...

[Sidewinder]

I've had 5 bikes in my basement before this year only 3. Heated and covered they are spoiled!

that's the only reason I agreed to a 12' table

[sahd03]

Formal dining rooms are a thing of the past.
Think of the bonding and closeness the two of you could share getting all greasy and dirty working on the bike together!
I might even be talking MYSELF into this!!!!!!!!

agreed...in the year and a half in that house we have eaten at that table 3 times....what a waste of a perfectly good room

[HBerry]

We eat at mine once a year for thanksgiving. It also houses all my mothers stupid little collectibles.

I live in an open concept log cabin in the woods, with cathedral ceilings and NO USELESS ROOMS!!!!!!! My sister converted hers to a "study hall" where all three of her kids have their desks and the kid computer. That way there's less furniture in their rooms, mom and dad can monitor websites and help with homework... all at once. It's awesome!
