At least I can work reasonably comfortably on the YZs now they are perched on paddock stands right at the front. Before, it was like one of those sliding letter word puzzles to get easy access all round a bike. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: Peter(a)ps-fisher.demon.co.uk | | Voxan Roadster Yamaha WR250Z/Supermoto "Old Gimmer's Hillclimber" | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

Not in Ben's case. His Boxster and MGB, Gixxer and KTM?, together with K's A4 quattro, almost entirely fill their double garage. Oh, I see what you mean.

But that means spending �100k on a house twice as big as I need (which would involve morgages and stuff, which I don't want to do again). I'm investigating plots of land and container based storage now. -- SteveH |
