I park my Triple in the garage at home, but I'm working a 3 week job away from home and I hauled the bike down with me. I've been parking my bike in the hotel room, so the first thing I see when I wake up is my Triple.

When I got my first street bike, I lived in a downstairs studio apartment. I bought a 93 Harley hugger Sportster. It was the most expensive purchase I had ever made up till that point and the first new vehicle I ever owned. I rolled it into the apartment every night and I never parked it out of my sight for the first 2 years I owned it. I also bought a gun that year too.

Small children tremble in their beds as they hear the evil triple rumbling through the night.
Yikes! This sounds like a Stephen King horror novel. Now that I think of it, there IS a Stephen King novel called CHRISTINE that I read a long time ago about a cool, killer car. Maybe this one will be called STALKER SPEEDY. Sounds like a pre-Hobbit Peter Jackson movie.

Recently had built a 12'X20' shed for all the bikes. It has a roll up door and a small loft.

Shed for two bikes with the possibility - if I clean it out better - for three.

For a year or so I used a self storage place. They're secure, you get 24 hour access, and they're dry and normally clean. Some even are climate controlled. The down sides are that you have to drive to get your bike and the monthly payments add up. Better then a stolen bike and weather damage though.

A double car sized, alarmed, auto opening, garage for me; though no car has ever darkened it's 6 year old interior. It has internal access from the main house area and just for info the wife is not allowed inside and the kids must ask first! The bar fridge, tool boxes and work bench take up a bit of room though. one day I will finish making it the boys retreat I envisaged it to be.

single car garage = 2+ bike garage

Single car garage up under the house sleeps both bikes. My wife asked if she could park her car in there during the icy winter and I belly laughed. Not a chance.
