Where can I park my bike?

[jfried11]

Hey guys,

Looking to get into riding and just found out that my apt. complex doesn't allow motorcycles. I live just north of the highlands, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks,

J

Bout the only thing I can think of is an enclosed storage unit. Heard that used several times.

Time to move.

Yep, break the lease since they do not allow a legal mode of transportation.

[jfried11]

As much as I'd like to move/break the lease, I'd probably have better luck winning the lottery and buying my whole building than getting the gf to move so I can have a motorcycle.

Yes, I know... time to get a new gf too then : )

I was thinking more along the lines of a nearby garage or somewhere with discounted rates for motorcycles but wasn't having much success in my searches...

I like in an apartment complex without a garage(for about a month longer), but I've been storing my bike in a 5x10 storage unit. It's near Brookhaven and costs $59/month. It's a pain in the ass, but it's better than it getting stolen and it keeps it out of the weather. I can't wait to move into our new house with a garage.

Why doesn't the apt. complex like motorcycles? I can't even think of a good reason, I mean if kids are allowed then bikes should be also.

[jfried11]

it's an enclosed parking deck in between the two buildings of the complex - I'm guessing if a lot of people started parking bikes they fear the noise would upset the tenants. I told them I would bring it up the freight elevator and never even turn it on in the garage but they wouldn't budge. apparently its standard language in all Georgia Apartment Association leases...

[charismatic1]

any friends you can trust within close proximity that has extra garage space??

[JSKeezy]

Dude, please....I repeat, please dont leave your bike out there.....I used to live in Buckhead in a gated community, WITH CAMERAS and had 2 bikes stolen. I live up North in the Sand and I have a garage now right under me....Keep it at a friends house or whatnot!!

[jfried11]

Everyone,

Thanks so much for the advice. Sounds like I am best off trying to find a friend with a garage, or maybe go the storage route since at least it is secure. I really appreciate all the posts and support!

Best,

J

Just move to another apartment complex that offers attached garages or detached garages. Detached garages are usually no more than 60 or 70 bucks

I guess your first mistake was asking the apt complex if they allow motorcycles. Its better to ask for forgiveness than permission. I dont think I ever told any of my apt complex's about my motorcycles. Of course they never saw it cause I always got a first floor with access to keep the bike inside the apt. If your g/f doesnt want to move....leave her there.

You're right. Its too late now but you should have just bought one and seen if they made a stink. With a stock pipe it would be more than quiet enough but I doubt the owners know this.

That's the same thing that I was thinking, but I guess if you allow a sportbike inside the Harley's might not be too far behind and those can get loud as hell

I only rent apts with garages ..period...storage unit too much pain in da azzz and not much difference when ya add the dollars up

[brandon357]

i just moved into a condo in dunwoody and there are a couple other bikes in the complex, so im not as worried about my bike being stolen(plus i can park close to my unit and have an alarm so i could tell if someone was messing with it as long as im there) but more about the weather getting to it....what part of atlanta are you in?

[brandon357]

[wayne13]

I would ask them what the hell is the problem with a legal mode of transportation, especially condisdering present and future gas prices!!

[wallypiper]

In the past, it's been stated that parking garages have a liability concern because of the automatic entry and exit gates. If they mess up and touch a car, worst case is scratched paint and not always that. They could injure a motorcyclist, directly or by knocking you down.
