    Nuggs, were you the chap who had the garage/Chimeara/how to store bikes dilemma a while back?

    If so, what did you do?!

    It was me - well remembered!

    The bike's hung by the front wheel on a hook just inside the garage doors - works perfectly!

    Thankyou, it's the cars that I remember, it's also the way I navigate my way to and from places, by the cars I see parked up :roll:

    Glad you found a worksable solution anyway - apologies for going off topic....

    The person below me has a hobbie that is....

    I used to do a lot of motorcycling and regularly competed in long distance trials. Like this one with my wife in the sidecar when we won the sidecar class in the MCC Land's End Trial one of the oldest motor sporting events in the world.

    Then we started sailing. Thjis isn't us, but this is a picture I took of some friends sailing a boat like ours at Foremark reservoir - Burton-on-Trent Sailing Club.

    Now I play with RC model aeroplanes. This is one I designed, built and flew. Alas, it's no more. It's very demanding and hard hobby when all your work can end up in a bin bag all for a moments error.

    Here's my current favourite. 84" wing span and a 26cc petrol engine.

    and here's where it all happens - including bike assembly repair.

    Gumball, do you own any of the pictured motors, ie Elise, 355 (I think it is?) and the Exige?

    Not all at the same time unfortunately. The Elise is now owned by my brother who bought it from me after I bought the F355 (Well spotted). I sold the Ferrari after Gumball through Morrocco, as it was a little bit beaten by the end. The Exige is in the garage with the Cannondales as I type.

    Might take her out today. The sun is shining!

    Do you not have a hankering for an S2 Exige, of the superharged variety?

    aside from the biking

    I teach Ju Jitsu - www.essexjitsu.com

    and then surfing, longboarding and mountain boarding are the things I do when I am not out on the bike.

    In the less "extreme" side I also do some running and triathlons.
