My bike, a few of my less-often-worn boots (mostly Fryes), my biker jackets and most-frequently-worn chaps.   The boot storage is relatively new.  I wrote a step-by-step instruction guide on this storage method which was posted on the hotboots.com website. <\/p>\n<p>The motorcycle helmets (I have several) are inside the house.  I don&#8217;t want gas vapors from my truck or my partner&#8217;s car to damage the helmet lining, which many reputable motorcycle magazines and experts have warned about.<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned in a <a href=\"http:\/\/bootedharleydude.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/patience-pays-off.html\">blog post the other day<\/a> that my partner and I spent some time reorganizing the back of the garage so I can park my bike back there.  I&#8217;m glad that worked out, so my Harley is warm and snug against winter&#8217;s wrath, but remains available should I want to go out for a ride when weather permits.  I have, however, discontinued using my bike to ride to the Metro in the morning. It has just been too blasted cold.<\/p>\n<p>Before I put the bike in it&#8217;s new storage area, it got a good washing.  Lingering dirt and road spray could lead to premature dulling of the paint, or worse: rust.  The battery is on its trickle charger.  The fuel is stabilized.  My lovely Harley is in its &#8220;winter nap&#8221; mode.  sigh&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I have been &#8220;accused&#8221; sometimes of being over-organized.  I guess that comes from leading a multi-tasking life.  I have to be well-organized to get everything done and be everywhere I need to be!  But ask my partner &#8212; he will tell you honestly &#8212; if I didn&#8217;t have my head screwed on, I would probably lose it.  Thank goodness for calendars and lists (and his patience).  I&#8217;m not one to use one of those technological gadgets such as a PDA or Blackberry.  I&#8217;d probably lose it, and resent paying monthly service fees to keep rich companies richer.  Plain old lists work fine for me.  (Some day I&#8217;ll blog about my sticky-note office!)<\/p>\n<p>I guess you could say that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/\">my website<\/a> is evidence of my being hyper-organized.  If that&#8217;s the case, well, so be it.  At least I know what I have, what I like, and where it is!  For the real evidence of my personal organization, though, just watch me at a public hearing sometime&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Have an organized day!<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here&#8217;s the back of my newly reorganized garage.
