My wife allowed me to own a motorbike again at age 68. My problem is that I have nowhere to store it safely. I would be happy to share a garage or find out about bike storage facilities. I can't imagine I'm the only one to have this problem. I try googling "garage rent" or "garage share" but only service and MOT comes back. I live close to Bolton. Advice is very welcome.

My bike lives locked up in the back garden of my terraced house, however it depends on the area you live in for if that's a good plan or not.

Only issue I have is a blooming cat keeps knocking my kill switch.

Your problem is she has probably upped your life insurance and fancies a world cruise with her toyboy.

Try googling "property garage" along with the area you're looking for. Failing that, have a look in the ads section in your local newspapers and any local shops that have buy and sell boards in them.

That's a bit harsh. It's one thing making his missus sleep in a bike tent but, tying her down with a ground anchor is taking things a bit too far.
