Its swaparama time with the Bims....push to the back those used recently and the "pup" also not to be used for a while...and bring to the front bikes for TT week...and summer time fun........always a bit of a conundrum getting them all in and out...but they fit...they will fit...and no I dont have too many...thats not the answer........... Laughing Laughing



And no...I havent space to extend the garage...and wont move house...I know my problem and moving to larger premises will only exacerbate the issue....must have restraint...must........ Shocked



And all back in again...any of the back 4 can be pulled out by only pulling out one other at the same time.....bendier mirrors would certainly help.... Laughing



And this is also why I can only really do maintenance when the sun is shining...or certainly not raining..as theres no room inside the garage to do anything....even breathing in there is a stuggle...... Smile

I take it that the 2 on the left will be put outside on Friday to make room for the Mantra to snuggle down for the night? Very Happy

I've got a leaky gutter that runs over the decking....specially set aside for your Mantra GeeKay...that way it'll get a clean before TT trip.... Laughing

I'll spray on some washing up liquid beforehand of course... Very Happy

Its already washed and polished although, unlike you, I did it with the bike fully assembled. So you may find some dirt in and around the inaccessible places.................. Wink

Nice pics Steve. Where's the db1, must be hiding?

I'd show you a pic of my shed, but most of the bikes are pulled apart at the moment Crying or Very sad . Except for the ever reliable VTX and the sb6 which is loaded in the trailer ready for the track day tomorrow.

If i tidy up my shed a bit there'll be room for a few more bikes yet if you need help storing some. Actually, if i squeeze them in like you i can probably fit another dozen in Laughing

You can just see the Db1 in the far right corner....she is naked though at the moment...so I didnt want to embarass her by pointing her out...you can just make out her shiney naked ally tank protruding out of shot.....Dont tell her I told you though...shes quite shy and tiny and cute without her clothes on.......... Laughing

Track day track day...VTX? Track day? Oh piccies please...do you put stabilisers on that one on the track? Laughing

I have a similar problem. Generally the bike nearest the door and the key in my hand is the one I take out. The poor old YB8 hasn't been out in ages, in fact I really should get it out this weekend for a run. The YB7 still needs it's tank putting back in but that's in the front corner and not easy to get to.

I may go to the Italian bike day/airshow at Lincoln this weekend, would be a nice run for the YB8.

GK, I have moved collected the DB6 to make room for the Mantra , would'nt want the old girl being left outside.
Plus if I can't get the YB11 running right this w/e the DB will be the ride for the TT. Need the extra seat for Mrs V

2Bims plenty of room -just think 3 dimensionally - room for another 6 if you double deck them Smile) no commitment to expanding your flock!! Glad we went to IOM last weekend -a tad wet over this side of the hills today. YB11 all sorted for next weekend trip to the TT, quick tyre check and fuel up, sorted Smile

I had thought of going subterranean...or just fitting patio doors in the side of the dining room...waste of space that it is unless theres a bike in there.... Very Happy

Same for me on the TT front........Db5R all tanked up and tyres checked...chain lubed...brake pads cleaned and refitted with antisqueal grease/copperslip....spare "old" cracked screen fitted to preserve original....even had time for a few miles on her the other day to get a dry run in..........
