Oh of course. It's why I rode it in the rain every chance I got!

You should come to Malaysia .... we got a lot of rain ..... & your bike will be very clean indeed

[Desmo_Profundis]

Holy Smokes!! That's what I'm talking about!! I love that old school GSX-R and the Paso 750s.

[A.duc.H.duc.]

I would never bring something so dirty inside.



Seriously-go ride the dang things. They'll be okay if they get cold-they're made of metal.

That's what I was thinking, all these indoor bikes look like "garage" queens, my bike is way too dirty to bring in the house.

Got enough bikes?? 

[gh0stie]

all my  bicycles go inside the house, even when I had a garage......a motorcycle on the other hand...........I'm not sure I'd want something so dirty inside my home (keep in mind, I ride mountain bikes they get pretty dirty)

I will probably do it if I have to take a trip longer than a week or so since I wouldnt want to risk leaving it outside unattended for so long

You need to be like me, then.......tile the floor in one room and leave the worn out carpet in the other room. The carpet probably needed to be replaced when I moved in to the house back in '96, but then that is more money taken out of the bike-fund, right?

You'd actually hate to see how dirty my bikes get. I rarely, if ever clean them. I park my Harley in the house, every day, and this is what it looked like a while back....




I even do all the work to my bikes in the house (note the plastic and the metal tray)...


This picture was after using two cans of brake cleaner to degrease the area I had to work on (BTW, the HD has 104,000 miles on it and the engine and tranny have never been rebuilt).

Got enough bikes?? 

NEVER!.....I'm itching to buy at least one more. I've been eyeing some early 90's ZX-7 and GSX-750R bikes.....and Bimota DB2 and DB4 bikes, lately.....another '01 M900ie......a yellow 1098....

I just never have enough money.....or space. I told the wife I'm building a ramp and parking bikes in the kitchen. The linoleum flooring is oil resistant, right?

I've seen a few of these -- Bugatti's in the house:



More Ducati's in the house:

[DesmoTull]

Oh I don't need to see that.  I just sold my 1996 SP.   

I wouldn't want to bring them into the house, but my ultimate plan is to thave the separate huge barn type garage with a wood stove, huge stereo, huge TV, workshop.... oh, and bar / mantown for the buddies.   

[Desmo_Profundis]

Wow, I just don't get a lot of you. Too dirty to bring in the house?? Those of you that have said that never wear your shoes in the house? You don't have pets, or kids?.. I mean after seeing those two ducs and that Bugatti ( MotoCreations ) sitting there so beautifully how can that not pull on your heart strings?

As far as the Garage Queen comment... Hell No!! I ride the piss out of my bike.. I also take care of it and clean the major crud off of it...

How dirty is it really to bring a street bike in the house?? I mean, I ride down the street. I don't live near a land fill or on a dirt road.. it's just the road.

When I ride in the rain she gets wet and I let her sit on the porch to mostly drip dry. I wipe down the tank, fender, hugger, and gages with a cotton towel but when she's done dripping she comes in.

I refinished my hardwood floor myself and tend to be very anal about scratches and crap on the floor. My dog sheds like a freak and every few days I could make a complete other dog with the amount of hair I pick up off the floor but the bike drops NOTHING!



Take a look at the pics I posted when I started this thread, I'm military and do the best I can with my paycheck so my house isn't huge but I think it looks nice.. Dose it look dirty to you?

[Desmo_Profundis]

Oh, I missed the silver Paul Smart in the corner,,, Sweet MotoCreations!! 

[Desmo_Profundis]

Also, I may have misspoke when I said that garages were made for cars and bicycles. If you have an old Bugatti, or a Mercedes 300SL, or any other car that fits in that category, it can go in the house too. If your bicycle is a carbon fiber masterpiece or if it's just your passion and you love looking at it... it also belongs in the house.

I believe anything you have a passion for can be kept in the house
