What I would give to have a 2-car garage, or even a shed! I have a small
patio on the side of my cottage where I park my one bike that's old and
tired, Its open air and I have a porch swing there I can sit on. I can't
keep much else out there as the wind speeds in the winter months average
45knots or more. I have a small hand carry toolbox with Kmart type wrenches
and screwdrivers and what not, I have torn down my whole left side eng with
my meager set of tools. If I need parts for my A1 it takes at least a week
to get here in the mail as there is not any cycle shops here. If I want to
hear the stereo I can turn it up pretty loud in the house and I can here it
pretty well out side. BUT, I'm not down about it because I'm happy to have a
bike and to be here on this island. In April I'll be moving to Germany and
definitely am going to get a house with a garage to park my A7 that's in
storage right now along with my tools...That will be cool. (Van is going to
hook me up in Germany)
