One way to winterize your vehicle

dekaliber · 01-08-2012, 08:02 PM

(Okay, a little off topic, but I thought I would share.)

Just picked up a new 2011 GSX-R750. Since I won't be able to get much use out of it until spring, I figured it could serve a decorative purpose.

The spot in my living room almost seems designed for such a thing, with lights and everything!

Now if only my house were big enough for the M coupe...

rkcampbell · 01-08-2012, 08:38 PM

At this time of year, those spaces are usually filled with half-dead trees with too much tinsel on them. This is much better!

inTgr8r · 01-08-2012, 08:45 PM

lol love it!

RADRACR · 01-08-2012, 09:52 PM

Looks like just another piece of artwork, to me

DreamTheater · 01-09-2012, 03:26 PM

Awesome ornament for your house! I ride a Yamaha R1, but I ride it all year round rain hail or shine

RADRACR · 01-09-2012, 03:38 PM

Please tell me you drove it in there though. Not just rolled it in with the engine shut off.

Hawkeye · 01-09-2012, 03:49 PM

Time for a FE kit! Like the Pitbull stands too, they are my favorite!

Although, I am still riding my bike so the stands are just to keep the tires off cold cement in between rides

dubsesd · 01-09-2012, 03:52 PM

that is a work of art!!!

i plan on doing a ramp and garage door down into my basement in my next house with access to the finished area so i can park my toy on the hardwood during the winter months.

here are some cool examples

Loogey Clapp · 01-09-2012, 05:13 PM

GEEZUS!!! Nice livery stable.

nmulax · 01-10-2012, 08:32 AM

Looks awesome, and definitely like that spot was made for the bike!

tekmoe · 01-10-2012, 09:19 AM

Nice spot for a bike! I'd put mine in the house but I ride it too much.

esqu1re · 01-10-2012, 10:20 AM

This. is. awesome.

Nate2046 · 01-10-2012, 09:10 PM

Very cool! I've always thought bikes were such great pieces of mechanical art. Very pure and raw, without all the poofery that you see in some cars. Funny, I was just browsing homes for sale in my neighborhood and saw a guy with the same appreciation.

Beedub · 01-11-2012, 01:49 AM

nate that house really is lovely, light, spacious... love the gallery section overlooking the main living space!!!! lovely!!! i do love a nice building.

crfine88 · 01-11-2012, 05:55 AM

Perfect, spot. That GSX-R is true art. One day I would like to own a piece of fine art just like this. Until then I will just admire yours :-)

VinnieAces · 01-11-2012, 01:04 PM

awesome pics, i definitely wanna do something like dubsesd mentioned when i purchase a house

nadaclue · 01-11-2012, 08:15 PM

Saw the pic in the first post, didn't see Dekalibers name. First thing that goes through my head is "huh, that looks like a Chicago home".

I'm pretty sure every home in Chicago has a small area like that. Unfortunately my wife isn't into mechanical things as art, and I can't have a bike because I'd kill myself.
