I was looking at one of these for washing my bike at the trails before heading home. Battery powered, 450 psi. Best part is no cords, no generator and no pumps needed. Comes with a hose that you just put in a bucket of water or a water tank and off it goes.

A $2000. Ford E150 panel van was my garage when I lived in Santa Cruz. Had all my moto gear, bikes, tools and stuff in it. I had an alarm on it and never had any problems. I kinda miss the moto van just get in and go.

I have the Hart version. Not enough power. Works great for MTB's though.

I live in an apartment with no garage. I keep mine in the house, girlfriend hates it but she didn’t pay for it or the apartment haha it would be nice to have a garage. I would love a cool set up but for now this will do. It’s nice sometimes to work on it and watch tv haha not ideal but it’s doable! If anyone has a house for rent in the Elsinore area let me know lol


You have/put WP forks on your Honda??

I had a ground floor apartment for years. I luckily had an apartment with a tiny fenced in "yard" and giant sliding glass door. I rolled the bike through the yard and into the living room. I tossed two 4x8 sheets of plywood down in the living room the entirety of my stay the, and parked my pair of dirtbikes and toolbox on them. Gas can I left sitting on the little patio/yard area.

What...

I cant imagine the looks you received from people trying to get on the elevator and there's a 230lb dirt bike standing up in it. That's wild. I lived in NYC for a decade and never imagined bringing bikes into my apartment.

Lived in the barracks for years in the Army. At one point, had a 3-rail trailer. Made it easy to blow the bike off at the car wash without having to unload. Would push the bike up the stairs and keep it in my barracks room on the 3rd floor! At another point I had a van and kept everything inside it. Found a patch of grass near a spigot on the backside of the barracks. Kept a short hose, bottle of simple green, a brush, and a spigot key in my van. Always made sure to keep the area nice, push any excess mud into the landscaping, under bushes, etc. Always worked on my bike in the parking lot.
