What about the AA

tunney

Can we have one day where the primary discussions are not car related or the same old cr@p rehashed. Getting very very boring.

Chips Lovell

I suppose you could start a thread about something you want to discuss? Just a thought;)

Sheds! Come on Tunney, you spend enough time in yours. What's it like?

Chips Lovell

Actually, I'm thinking of getting a new shed. The one that came with the house is a bit too small for the bikes. I'm thinking of going for a wooden one so I can mount racks for them on either wall.

Seriously dont. Once your missus manages to get the bikes out of the house, they will never get back in. The spare bedroom is for bikes, spar pats and on the bike clothing. Dont budge on this one.
You have some very nice bikes and wheels. It would be a crying shame to think of them all alone in a cold shed on a night like tonight. I speak from experience on this one.

They're already in the shed, albeit a bit cramped. My decision.

Tunney, the Iron Man is over now. You can get off the bike when you need to "go".

Don't worry, my innate sense of superiority will keep me warm.

Of course, being a cyclist, that sense is quite elevated. And rightly so.

It's always about horses with you, isn't it?

I stopped being surprised about what goes on in the border counties a long time ago.

OK, starting from the front my garage/shed has: Lawnmower, Strimmer, Shredder, Honda VFR800, Washing Machine, Drying Machine, Cycling Clothes & Shoes, Bike Tools, Cupboard and Sink, 8 bikes - 3 of mine, 2 belonging to OH, 3 for kids, large selection of timber bits n pieces, Superser, Generator, Workbench, Bench Saw, Dust Extractor, Other Tools, Scorpa 250 Trials Bike. It also has a leaky roof and is a complete mess, with a narrow gap down the middle to get to the far end !
Both motorbikes are for sale as since I started cycling in March neither has been used !

:eek: I want a tour of some of these sheds!! They sound like the tardis!!

We've never even considered putting our bikes in the shed...straight into the spare bedroom(now called the bike room) Half considering buying those high bunk beds with the bottom bunk taken out so that we can put a bike rack under the bed and still 'technically' have a bed to offer the visiting outlaws:rolleyes:
