bike was getting a bit damp in the garage and I wanted to give it good winter strip down and clean
so I bought it inside... because I could :afro:

wasnt the quickest operation, doubt something i will do too often, but means i can work on bike in a bit more comfort :grin:
I'm triply jealous - Duc, garage AND conservatory!

An object of art in its own right.
The top photo looks like you've stuck a really crappy "weed" sticker on the side of it.....
Ha! - That's exactly what I thought when I first saw that picture!

Awwww, the lovely Juu (still lovely I hope)!
I have had more than one bike in the living room over the years.
The mrs regularly tells the story of how she came home early from holiday with her family and walked into the living room to find me sat on my bike, watching motogp repeats, in my boxers, eating a bowl of cereal.
Its usually accompanied with 'he just said hi and turned his head back to the tv'
still don't see the problem :cool:
:rofl: excellent
Nice one Komp :thumbright:
Don't think C would be happy if i brought the REX up the stairs. :dontknow:
Brilliant.
Ive got my bike in the living room just now ..... was on it earlier
push bike that is :azn:

would be impressive if you managed it tho!
i am disappointed in myself that i have been single over a year and its taken this long to do it :laugh:
hmmmmm...... I'm not so sure..... I see a few issues.
Firstly, those windows look like they allow lots of natural light.... I'd be worried about paint fade, especially in red..... best brick them up.
Secondly, access, as you said, it's a bit tricky...... best sling an up and over door on it.
Pictures on the wall?..... you'd be better off with shelving.
A dining table?..... whip it out and put a tool chest in its place.
Doesn't make a bad heated garage thereafter.
I like your thinking dan :evil:
wasn't it grand designs who did....(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/01/article-1254568-086F1EF2000005DC-608_468x286.jpg)
I got my BSA off a wall in a pub in Manchester
personally think bikes look a daft up on the wall
and also no good for sitting on watching gp eating your cereal eh!
When I owned two bikes (sob them were the days!) I kept one in the spare bedroom in my ground floor flat.

Nice setup:-)
Very nice! :cool:
Wish I could get my bike indoors! I daydream about having a place a bit like Sam's in Tron: Legacy. But maybe not to the extent of living in a garage - it might get a bit draughty!

Seriously cool pad that
I used to have a bit of a thing for bikes in the house in my old bachelor pad. Now the house has been sold as well as all the bikes :cry:
The new pad is nearly finished although i'm not sure the missus will allow me to have bikes inside the house even if I do ever get the chance to buy any!

I remembered the 10 in the front room when I picked the R1 up
LUSH!!!!!!!!!
a bike in each room... i like your thinking

well its outside again after its winter pampering
unfortunately it ran for about 10 seconds before deciding it didn't know what gear it was in
instead of neutral it thinks its in 2nd, and obviously wont run with stand down
when in 1st it thinks its in neutral, 2nd thinks its in 3rd and so on
seems the gear sensor failing appears to be a common fault on panigales from looking on the forums
unfortunately our local ducati dealer closed down in jan, so now have a good 140 mile round trip to get it sorted.. thats when they actually give me a call back about when i can actually take it in
No!!!!
I thought this was supposed to be the new, reliable Ducati, post-Audi!!
Not good :-(
It's a 1st year model glitch...software fix I believe...the bummer is the distance to the dealers. Hope you get it sorted soon.
Take is back inside. You upset it
was always a bit of a risk... ducati + first year of new model
but wasnt a big deal when dealer was 2 miles away
no more than a month after they shutdown this magically appears
i am hoping it is just the sensor rather than the software, but we will see i guess

i think your right mate!
left a message with seastar superbikes near norwich as i am based up in beccles a couple of days a week at the moment
they called me back yesterday, said had encountered this issue a lot, put a claim in for me straight away for the sensor as 99.9% sure that is what it is and they will call me when it comes in.
much less painful than expected
fingers crossed
Here's hoping.
booked in for the 9th
i took it out today for a spin to work, was actually fine when i started it up and remained fine for about 3 miles, then while dawdling along in 2nd watched it change to 3rd in front of me eyes
ah well will be sorted soon
So your bike is the one with all the gear but no idea? ;-)
I'm remaining neutral....

so happy to have it back working correctly.. i forgot how much i love my panigale :moto:
seastar superbikes near norwich sorted it no problems at all, also was a nice 120mile round trip
got another 120 miles out of it yesterday too as decided to ride to our warehouse in beccles on it
cold ride back mind you
Glad its sorted. Mines is done....free 600 mile service for my woes...£160 in my pocket.
More gratuitous duke pics required Komp!!

STFU!
MOAR PICS!!
