Got to love it!!  I built a ramp years ago and drive all my bikes into the basement every winter.  It's great to be able to work on the machines in shorts and sandals when it's -10 F out.

Wait.....married, but wife is at unknown location shacking up with an ex?!? Something sounds wrong and needs to change!

But we love bikes in the house! Sorry, back patio doesn't count!


I know... I know...  Waitin' till after the holidays to lawyer up.  Should be a done deal.  No hurry yet. 

dude, that is going to make working on it sooo nice. As for the lawyer, since there is no hurry, don't even get a lawyer, after all that is just money going to him when it could go on the bike. Wait for the project to be completed then deal with it..

My current "bike in the house".  Married, but can get away with stuff like this since my home office/den is out of typical "line of sight" of houseguests.

bikes in the house is the way to go.  I store mine in the heated basement after gas has been drained of course.  Now...however, if my wife were still alive none of that would happen...Larry

  • Where are you going? I was going to make Espresso
you got a place to work on the forks?  stripping the forks on my 72rd200 the other day and the old stanky fork oil nearly drove the dog out of my man cave.  nasty stench.  shoulda done it outside.  anyhoo..........

swingarm bushings - dealer, i use oem (flame suit ON!)
steering head bearings - all ballz racing
fork oil - have used motul fully synthetic 5wt, and belray 10wt.  you'll see a nice improvement in fork action when using any quality fork oil.  they've made terrific advantages in reducing stiction in the last coupla decades.
fork seals - not pyramid (rec'd wrong size, shipped back to the uk for refund), not leak-proof (failed).  i've been using oem with zero issues.  not terribly expensive when compared with the hassle of fork disass to replace.
