Where do you house your Ninja?

adri99an · April 10th, 2010, 12:18 PM

I was cleaning out my "Ninjettes House" as my wife calls it and was wondering where everyone else houses their baby....I keep mine in the small garage since my wifey won't let me bring it in the house...lol

Post a pic...

JokerSeven · April 10th, 2010, 12:22 PM

Mine is on a covered back pourch. It is out of the sun and rain, but I still keep a weather cover on it.

Barbie's JEEP and your Ninja....a perfect match...post a pic when it's all set up...my wife was trying to get me to park mine in the back....that's when I emptied out my small garage in 3 hours.....

The things we do for our Ninjettes....

tonyt · April 10th, 2010, 05:00 PM

I just got a used ninja 250 today. Does anyone keep their ninja outside year round? I live in Boston, MA and don't really have anywhere store it throughout winter.

Tony

JeffM · April 10th, 2010, 05:08 PM

In my 3rd garage between the extra head boards, boxes, and other stuff we cannot seem to get rid of. My wife and daughter get the rest of the garage for thier cars. Sigh... at least the bike gets an inside home.

BlueRaven · April 10th, 2010, 05:21 PM

I`m thankfull my parent`s let me keep mine in their garage. She got a little naked during the winter months

Yoda · April 10th, 2010, 05:25 PM

Now that weather is nice she rests in the parking space out front. Cruddy weather she sat in the living room. Wife really loved that.

Banzai · April 10th, 2010, 06:34 PM

Always in the garage. Always! And she has her own Kawi Green carpet to keep her tires off the cold cold concrete! Oh, and if it's going to be more than a day or two until it's out again, she get covered!

adri99an · April 10th, 2010, 06:45 PM

I may need to get me some carpet.....Candy Plasma blue carpet.....

Check the Boston Sunday Globe classifieds or Craigslist. Lots of people in New England rent out garage & cellar space for storage of bikes in winter.

utahninja · April 10th, 2010, 10:03 PM

Safe and dry in the garage next to the wife's scooter. The wife's scooter protects my Ninja from the kids bikes, as they tend to fall over and hit things. Kids can be a little careless at times.

250rinblack · April 10th, 2010, 10:34 PM

Ninja always lived indoors, she never knew what it was like to sleep under the stars. Gixxer is the same; both bikes on stands in the garage for ease of maintenance and also for insurance purposes. And also so I can just go up to the garage and gaze lovingly at it.....

asherdink · April 10th, 2010, 10:36 PM

Dad's bike, my bike, and at the time, my boyfriend's bike.

Now it's just mine and my dad's bike, along with the van.

I will never let my bike sit outside over night. My car's been broken into too many times over the past few years, I don't need Shinobi messed with as well.

cnichols79us · April 11th, 2010, 10:59 AM

Just in our Garage for me. Not showing a pic of what that looks like right now though......

capt_bugaloo · April 11th, 2010, 02:55 PM

Garage? Carport? Nah, I've always parked my various bikes on the street in front of my home with a cover over it, and I've never had a problem.

Heres a rather old picture

Cedilla · April 11th, 2010, 07:53 PM

Mine sits outside behind the back porch, most of the time with no cover.

Momaru · April 11th, 2010, 08:43 PM

Unfortunately mine sits in the parking lot next to my apartment-mate's scooter. Pretty much always covered. Spent a good chunk of the winter in the living room, but roomie couldn't complain b/c her scooter did too after nearly getting buried when the show plows came.

Seattle_Chris · April 12th, 2010, 06:38 AM

Mine is kept hidden in the shadows. He's a ninja don'tcha know?

But no, he's kept in my 1 car garage with all the lumber and other woodworkie bits, tools, car bobbles, and whatnots. Might edit with a pic tomorrow.

backinthesaddleagain · April 12th, 2010, 07:06 AM

I can't believe I just saw a craigslist add for a GPZ305 and the guy put his home address in the ad. So I know where he houses his "pre" ninja.

CC Cowboy · April 12th, 2010, 08:13 AM

Greg, they are cool looking bikes. If you boost it you'll have to let me try riding it.

Apex · April 13th, 2010, 04:38 PM

I refuse to post a pic of my garage. Still in the organization phase.

I will say this, it is parked right by a bike stand that holds my wife's bike. Next to that is my trainer that my Trek 1.5 sits on. Opposite wall from that is a ceiling hook that holds my Specialized Langster. The c'dale is in the shop trying to find a crank.

I normally keep a bike cover over the li'l ninja to keep her nice and clean.

DRivero · April 13th, 2010, 07:25 PM

My Garu sleeps in the garage. 30+ thousand-dollar (when new--purchased back when I was married and had money) SUV sleeps outside. I do so loves my Garu!

bdavison · April 13th, 2010, 07:45 PM

In the living room...on the carpet....with the other motorcycles....where I do the oil changes....

Terrorizer · April 14th, 2010, 06:02 PM

I also live in Boston, Fortunately I live on the ground floor of a building and can wheel mine right into my apatrment,my living room!, thats my garage and where I keep my bike when bad weather comes around. I did all my winter maintenance in the living room, Changed the oil, filter, plugs all that stuff. Funny huh? ...

min nin · April 14th, 2010, 07:28 PM

25x40 bike barn.

Oh it has other stuff in it too.

Terry

Jatan · April 14th, 2010, 08:35 PM

Looking for a new apt with a garage but if I dont move by the time I get the bike then I'll leave it in the back since my back stairs & porch are enclosed -- the basement area is only 2 steps down and I live on the first floor only 5 steps up so it shouldnt be too bad

For winter I can leave it in my friend's garage next to his bike or in my uncle's garage in the burbs

headshrink · April 16th, 2010, 01:44 AM

Locked in the stable, I mean garage.

For those that put carpet squares under the tires.... what is the purpose of this?

P10brink21 · April 16th, 2010, 12:20 PM

I Keep mine in my Dad's garage...30 minutes away. But most of the time I have to head that general direction anyway, if not I do anyway!!!
