Awright dudes, dudettes bought some cool things today.

1) Optimate 3

2) 512mb Memory Stick Pro

3) New 3 Bedroom mid terraced villa.

Now the problem with the new house is that it is a pishy new development, "picturesque"... Ie fuck all garden. Being a mid terrace I have no access to the rear garden from the road for bike storage. So what are my options? Storage wise for the bikes? We will have a small drive at the front of the house but thats it.

Any sort of ride in garage that would look good plonked at the front door?

Wow...thats how you spend some m0oney!!! Wehreabouts did you move to then? I take it this is your own pad then i.e moving out of the parents?

There are several different types of small metal sheds you can buy to put bikes into, but I'm not too sure of any links. No doubt someone will post up a link. Is this just for your gsxr or is it for the cb too?

I've got a simalar property.
I rent a council garage which is meters from my back door for about £6 a week.

Well done on getting a new pad mate Thumbs Up

Bike storage tends to be in big tin sheds.
Not exactly very esoteric outside a front door.
They're also not that cheap

The Bike Barn is little more than a tent so I think not that secure!

Try these:

https://www.trimetals.co.uk/motorcycle.php?m=3

https://www.motoeurope.com/bike_barn.html

https://www.securit.gb.com/

If you find anything more elegant please post details as I have a friend in a similar situation.

HTH Thumbs Up

That first link looks great - Be sure to checkout their 4minute video. It's just too expensive and was 2x as much as the other decent one.

Also checkout www.bikesafe.info

I wouldn't sell your bike because you've got nowhere to keep it. I keep my bike at a mates house because he's got a secure garage. Free of charge too! Keep the bike and find a lock up or use a relatives/friends garage Thumbs Up

hahaaha stupid phone. I tell you, it has a mind of its own at the moment!!! Evil or Very Mad

Yeah, theres no stopping me from upgrading this bike just after summer or even earlier. Just once I start earning again. If I had the money right now, I'd get one of the many many sv650's off ebay at the moment. Proper full faired jobbie. Slightly older styling as the new ones a bit angular for my liking Shocked

One like this: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9808&item=4534868120&rd=1

No more than 2 and a half grand mind. It was either one of them or probably jsut a sports 600. Still got the zrx in my mind though Confused

Oops, sorry Oni. I think me and colin have done it again... Embarassed

Give me £2.5k and I'll sell you mines, new rear tyre, fairing panel fixed and I'll even get it serviced for ya! Thumbs Up

Thought you got it for £2.4k? Wink

I'm looking for something with a bit less mileage, but I'll keep yours in mind. The sound of it certainly appeals Laughing

It'll all depend on what I get for my bike. I'm hoping for a grand and sell the exhaust system for about £160 on ebay. I'll jam a months pay cheque on top of that and hopefully I should have enough for what I want at the time (it changes everday as you can imagine) Wink

I got a really good deal tho. The bike is worth that money all day long!

Not looking to selling at the mo' but I keep seeing Gixxer 750's in my sleep!

PS Just seen my next bike hence price change Razz

Throw in a Honda CB125 for free if you want it Razz

0ni · World Chat Champion Joined: 01 Dec 2004 Karma :

It has light fairing damage either side. Scratches in the decals to be honest and some heavier scratches on the seat unit.

Because I have done nothing to the bike, paid for nothing on it, I couldn't honestly sell it to a forum member for any more than I paid.

Edit: Well I could but...

cc123 · Geez a joab? Joined: 17 Jan 2005 Karma :

Hey, free 125 aswell Greg, you could chain them both together as extra security!

Yours is the Red one Oni? Whens your test again? Be good to see you out with us lot before your get rid of it Thumbs Up
