I think winter is going to start this weekend here. The weatherman says that snow is going to fall Friday night...........Our weather can change drastically here though, so I am hoping for a couple more good weekends. However I thought I would take advantage of the last warm and dry evening and test my winter storage. I gotta say, it definitely spruces up the decor.

Nice storage area.

While you have it in their, you may want to change the summer air in the tyres for winter air. They last longer that ways :-D

showed this pic to my wife... told her I wasn't crazy by wanting to keep my bike indoors.

She still gets upset when I mention putting the ST in the baby's room :hammer:

It's lucky that Triumphs don't leak oil anymore!!

It adds a certain class to the living room, I must say..

I feel guilty now that mine lives in the garage, and on dirt next to the bails of hay !! I'm off home now to make a ramp up the stairs :-D

That's understandable, bloody baby might drool or wipe sticky fingers on your Sprint! Glad she's got her priorities right :hammer:

triumph_955_st,
excellent yes quite excellent, I must say I do like the colour.

what about a couple of mouldy old ducatis hanging from the lampshades as a kind of mobile and a harley D with the petrol cap off as an ashtray?
