i see posts of guys with their bikes in the living room, of course they rent and are single. You hardly ever get your deposit back anyway, so why not. cheaper than a heated garage.

No way of getting it in my house.....but yeah I would imagine a foul smell in the living room along with some not so good fumes.

You're very brave.......

I envy you. I WISH I could fix one of my bikes thru a door on this place. Sure would have made a joy out of the 87 I am working on. Instead I freeze my *** off outside.

Remember Ray Stevens the Shriner's Convention song and the guy who got his harley in the hotel room?

LOL. I am not sure My wife would appreciate that. We already agreed I get the garage and movie room and she has everything else. However I still have to use cup holders in the movie room.
