How do you secure your Motorbike?

[Greg]

Ok, I'm looking into the future here. I've not even completed my CBT (which is booked for next Friday, 1st) and my Theory is booked for the 7th. I'm not interested in buying a 125 and will be looking to spend a bit of time building up my experience on a bigger bike and doing my Direct Access Course.

Thinking into the future, once I've passed and bought a motorbike I'm thinking about where to secure it. I live in a Victorian terrace house with a parking space to the rear accessed by the communal alleyways. The space is big enough for my 1 Series but not big enough to have a bike in there comfortably so I'm looking at making some alterations (I.e. landscaping) so I can secure but does anyone else share the same trouble?

I have an outhouse but this is 1) for my gardening things and 2) not practical to be moving a motorbike in and out all the time. Surely I can't be the only one in this situation, anyone got any ideas?

Willing to post a photograph of my garden for suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

So as you guys have correctly pointed out, I'll be keeping my 1 series and trying to store a bike in the same area.

I was thinking about maybe taking out this 'bench' type thing I have and using that side to secure the bike or maybe even making my own shed? what do you think? I guess it ultimately depends what bike I get but if i took out the entire boarder and put bricks down I could use the wall as an anchor point? Victorian garden walls are pretty solid, right?

Yea, it's as far over as it can pretty much get. I'm thinking of riping this all up and laying some more slate/bricks down and using that as the parking spot. Think that wall would be sufficient for an anchor point? It's probably been there a hundred years or so.
