where do you hang your hat?

[RichieZX6R]

well helmet to be precise

Finally signed my life away for a garage thats a very short walk from home. Keeping the bike there when I get some decent security etc installed but I'm wondering what to do with my gear?

Do you guys with a garage keep it there or at home and walk around to the garage with it? if you do keep it there how do you stop it going mouldy with the moist air?

Thanks

Where ever I lay my hat, that's my hat.

I keep my kit in the house - left some gloves in the garage for a few weeks by accident once and they went green with mould

Would something airtight, like a fridge/freezer work? You could get a knackered one and store your stuff in there (with it off obviously)

Depends how long you are planning on keeping your gear in the garage for, unused. Regular usage won't be a problem but if your not going to ride throughout winters for e.g then i'd bring all your gear inside your house seeing as though the garage is not far from your place

[Ayrton]

Depends. Sometimes when i cant be arsed to carry it in the house i leave it in the garrage. It does seem damp if its been raining though.

Grab a battery powered heater and stick it in the corner. Leave gear in there and recharge batteries at home.

Or, just keep stuff indoors.

Hat lay's in my room or down stair's beside a chair...

Glove's lay in the Hat if their dry, if their wet airing cur-bud.

Jacket hang's on my door or on the air horse in my bedroom.

Any other shit is normally in my bedroom...

They do battery ones, we used them for a while to light up the flat when we had no electric/gas. Worked well for the 2 days we had fuck all, they got very warm too

I bought one of these:

And stuck it up next to the coat rack next to front door. Is a really good fit to hang a helmet from.

My bikes live in a garage that is temperature controled and then they are wrapped in bubble-wrap and put down in a bed of finest goose down.
My kit is hematicaly sealed in a sterile container after being washed in the water from the tears of Angels.


Nah! bike lives in the garage along with the kit.
Kit is hung up so it does`nt get mingy/mouldy/damp.

Never had a problem putting kit in the garage as long as it is ventilated.

Would a big air tight box not stop mould attack?

I have like a glass shelf tier thing in the hallway and use that for mine and Js lid..
At work I have it on the floor in the kitchen insight of me at all times -

Got a cheap ass wardrobe in the garage where I keep my kit, everyday helmet and gloves sit on top of it, never had a problem with mould or anything, if gloves are wet from rain I stick them in the airing cuboard to dry overnight.
