Put bike in loft this winter?

Should I put my bike in my loft this winter or store it downstairs in my heated garage?

I don't know... I was thinking it would look pretty cool in my loft.

But some girls have said that might look a bit too 'guy'

What do you guys think?

What are these words you speak of... winter and storage?

I'm in Florida and ride year round


But seriously, store it wherever you want. Who cares if your loft looks a bit too "guy." You are a guy, right?

THAT WOULD BE THE COOLEST THING EVER, ESPECIALLY IN THAT ROOM. Ducatis are works of art, it would be like having a van Gogh on the wall.

My brother wants to put his 1098s in his foyer this winter but his wife won't let him, so if you're still single do it while you still can!

How bout a 3rd vote... ride it all winter long in LA... LOL

I say put it in the loft, its just art anyway! Gotta make sure you give it a good wax job, so the dust doesn't stick.

I keep the duc in my photo studio. Clients think its totally cool. I keep my cushman in my living room. Guests think its totally cool.

Any chick who thinks a bike (especially a pretty red italian one) in your place is too guy-ish probably is not worth wasting your time on. Go on and put it in the loft. And while you're at start a BSA chopper project in the other corner.

Tell the chicks that they can hang their panties on the mirrors overnight.
Go for the loft!

Loft....No Doubt! Are you crazy! you can't find a better place to put the ole' Duc, then you stick the TV next to it and watch your favorite WSBK video....looking at the TV....then the Ducati.....then the Ducati....then the TV......!!!!...hell you could even sit there and polish all the little bits up while you watch! Mine, horribly, will sit in the garage this winter, although I park and cover it w/ blankets! Sob!
