I parked mine between my cars in the garage, it makes the car door hard to open but better than parking it outside, at least I sleep well and worry about nothing.&nbsp\\;
Living room is a good idea [8D]

Hey, I never thought about sitting on my bike to have dinner, good one! I should custom make a dinner tray.

I agree with Twisty.&nbsp\\; We keep the Mustang and all the bikes inside the garage (my BF has a 2008 Triumph Thruxton &amp\\; my roommate has a 69 Triumph T100C) and we keep all our other vehicles outside.&nbsp\\; The truck is definitely in the driveway for hauling (especially when we need to haul bikes) and our other vehicles deal with the elements MUCH better than our bikes would.

Be a man, put your truck outside.

man- leave the car outside and bring that bike inside!!!

I don't care how much more a car costs than a sportster. I could not deal with leaving my bike outside. A bike has so much more sentimental value than a car and deserves to be in the garage if you're fortunate enough to have one.

I solved your problem, just load the bike in the back of the truck!&nbsp\\; It's in the garage!

I'm with most everyone else on this one.&nbsp\\; No way I would leave my bike outside, even if it was covered.&nbsp\\; Park the truck in the driveway.

I've had my truck for 13 years its never seen a garage.&nbsp\\; The sportster will be in the garage every night.&nbsp\\; At least make a roof out of a tarp or something until you can get something better.
