Wow, many of you have phenomenal setups. How are any of you storing your gear? Specifically leathers for the street and ADV gear for sometimes not the street. I'm 6'6" so I need a lot of room for a 1 piece to hang from. I do appreciate the feedback. BTW, I did search the forums with no luck. Thanks again.
I have seen where some store their gear in the garage. Although most don't mention it, I just see it in the background hanging in their photos, sometimes with a shelf full of helmets. Me?...no way!.... too many spiders 'n' such out there. Helmets and wearing gear all stay in the house. Even have a special drawer for the long distance riding underwear. No, I don't have any walk in closets. I just went through my clothes and made some hard (but totally logical) choices about what to get rid of, what to fold and put in a drawer. That gave me the room to hang up my gear. I wear the gear a lot more than would have worn the stuff I discarded and or donated. The off road gear (knee/elbow protection) goes up on a shelf where I also had to clear out some stuff that I was hanging on to a bit too long. The clearing out stuff can be painful, but it's rarely regretted a month after its over.
Maybe "someday" I'll have my garage clean enough and organized enough to put my gear out there but not anytime soon (aka never). I only recently moved all my how-to books and shop manuals out there. I've become a bit fanatical about checking on them for dust accumulation and for insect and rodent damage.
