I would probably not rank firing up a gasoline powered anything inside the house anywhere among my top 10 list of smart things to do.

If I could get my bike in my living room ... she'd have a sweet, new place to stay at night. I think she'd look nice next to the couch..

Mine is in the kitchen. When I'm working on it and need to run it I open the back door and fire it up. Most of the exhulst goes out the door.
