I don't have a garage at this time but I keep my ride in a 8X12 shed in the summer.It is just barely big enough.I can walk around it and some some minor things,but my next place will have a 24X24 garage.

Then go back inside the house, and grab the first kid you can get your hands on, and drag them back to where your bike is, show them the imperfection in the paint, and then beat them to the point where they can just barely remember why it was that you beat them so bad.
No matter what any of your kids ever does in the future, nothing will ever happen to your bike.
Some would say I'm crazy though too, whatever.
Really! ...............That is one Dumb A$$ response!

I'm going to need enough space to drive in and out without hitting the sides. Also there will some doors to close it.

Think I'm crazy for doing this???
building a protective box for your bike sounds good,but i think i would teach my kids not to throw things in or around the garage ,not saying this to be a azzhole im saying because they need to know that. if your buddies come over and your kids chuck a baseball at there bikes ,they wont be back..i had a buddy that let his kid whack my brand new truck with a stick one day i never returned to his house.
