    well , now that the kats up and running it's time to bring her home . i need the room in the garage to finish up my project car . i'll be riding the bike up to the garage so during the day there's no worry about theft . but during the nite i plan on blocking it in with my f-250 p/u and chaining it to the truck with a cover over it . i 'll have 2 chains on it and and audible alarm . something really loud . i was planning on keeping it in the bed of the truck but after reading some threads on here alot of you guys don't recommend loading / offloading by yourself . also the prices on the really nice drive-up ramps i can't justify the costs . any other ideas , suggestions are welcome .

    Make sure the chain goes around the frame not just around the wheels. Also make sure the area is reasonably well-illuminated. And yes, loading/offloading alone is a bad idea.

      Dont forget to unchain the bike from the truck in the morning when you leave.

            I did that once putting it into storage, I managed to get it down myself but it really freaked me out.

              Get a dirty old, beat up cover that isn't branded (like Hayabusa) and throw that on.

                  Keep a Rottweiler in the back of the truck.

                          Just make sure it's 24-hour access
                          All the storage places in my area have gone to business-hours-only access, which is useless for most of my purposes.
