So where do you store all of your riding gear?

[Walker]

Between my girlfriend and I we have 5 sets of riding gear and three helmets. (4 sets are mine for commuting and riding in various weather: leather jacket and pants, perforated leather, textile jacket and pants, and a one piece textile suit...two helmets, current one and older one so I can rotate them when things are sweaty). My girlfriend loves to ride with me, but we're talking about getting her own bike next summer.

Anyway, currently its all hung in the closet in my daughter's bedroom since she doesn't have very many clothes at my house, but I'm thinking about setting up either a hanging gear shelf or wardrobe in my garage.

What do you guys/ gals with lots of gear do for storage? and please post pics!

My much better half took over daughter's closet when she launched . ..  

I built a gear locker outa plywood in the Entropy Lab . . . . I've been warned that spiders, meeses, and terrible heffalumps would infest my gear . . . .  . . so far, a couple of dried sheets in teh bottom every so often have keep em at bay.

Hall closet for jackets, pants, suits, back protectors.  There is still a little space for a few actual jackets like are supposed to be there.

Set of plastic shelves from Home Depot in the laundry/mud room off the garage to store helmets (bicycle + motorcycle), gloves, and heated gear.

Mostly, I store my helmet on my head, my jacket on my back, boots on feet, and my pants on my ass...

When they can't be there, then they're usually in my cedar-lined walk in.

Helpful, I know...

Hanging from hooks on the garage wall.

All over the place.  



Organization is not my strong point.

Coat rack and garment bag in garage. Hmm, dryer sheets, never thought of that...

I put a wire shelf up in the garage, next to the bikes. Most of the gear hangs from that (both mine and the girl's) and our helmets sit on top of it. Awkward to hang things (rain gear when not in a saddlebag, the bottom half of my two-piece leathers) are in tubs on some gorilla shelves next to it.

Her race leathers get to live in the guest room closet most of the time, since the shelf isn't situated to hang full length stuff.

Gear is right by the bikes when we're leaving. ":)

All over the floor in the spare bedroom.

Girlfriend almost shit when I moved in a bunch of gear.

Shit again when I told her I had more to come.

She's like "How many goddamn jackets and pants and boots and helmets do you need?"

Nobody understands, except maybe you clowns here and the ADV criminals.

Two full size storage closets in garage, one for helmets and gloves, the other to hang gear.  Most of it actually makes it into the bins.

I don't have enough closet space for all my gear.
So I've been keeping my eye on one of these for the past few months.
And just today was really considering buying it with next paycheck:

Full family moto gear has its own deicated closet

My mancave room has its own closet.  

[KLRchickie]

All over the freaking place!  I just counted up eight functional motorcycle helmets between the two of us.  I'm not counting up the other riding gear, or the boots ---   the boots!

[coho]

I ride every day so it all lives in the closet by the front door.

[Strog]

I hung a bunch of wire shelves up all over the garage. It really help organize the garage in general but everything next to the bike is my shelves.  


There's another shelf just above the garage door railing. The other side of the garage has shelves at that level across the length.
 



I'm still organizing it but it's nice to have a place to put things without my wife worrying about it.

 Hmm, dryer sheets, never thought of that...

And it has that just washed smell.
