Where does your buggy live?????


This should be fun and everybody should submit a picture/s of where you store your buggy when not in use.

I seen a few here. A front room, a garage, on a wall, in a trailer, etc.

So I'll get it started with the worst. Mine!
I was able to store my little KT3 in my shed but my Ivanpah is so HUGE I had no other
choice but to throw a tarp over it next to the fence.
I'll be building a separate shed for it this summer.

So, where does your buggy live?

Nice shed. The wheel chocks are a good idea.
BTW... what's the JWC?

I have my buggy and one for both boys along with helping store Chris's and Mano's buggies on my garage ceiling. Two are winched up with locking pulleys and the other three are on hooks. It works great. I have too much crap to store to not consider the third dimension for storage space.

I had mine in the garage. VTT rear wheels off. PL XR+ rear wheels on. (This is how they fit in the bed of my truck). The VTT has moved to my new barn. The XR+ will next time I get it out. They are Nose up strapped to the wall.

Yeah, I figured those pictures would have you cringing. The dirty longboard wheels and grip tape in direct contact with the ripstop and everything wadded up together :o

I did finally get everything put back in order for the most part, but you really don't have to worry about them as long as the bridles are put back in the transport loops and line wound around the bar. You can pretty much stuff them any which way and there still always ready to go.

Mine used to hang in the garage, but I was always afraid it might land on the car hood when I wasn't looking....and it was always close quarters opening the car hood to check oil, so now it hangs in the shed next to the yak.

Nice dry place 1 Old Kid. Looks like a great shed for your toys.

My buddy Michael Gaylan has a place on his front porch where he keeps is buggy & kites.

You have to look real hard to see his gear because of other storage in front of them.

I'm going to have to sneak over there and take a picture. I'll probably get corralled by
his 5 ankle biters! :D

Here in South Carolina, we keep every thing on the front porch. Ice box's, washers, freezers, huntin and fishin gear and other toys.

Ok, lighting wasn't the best but you can see my buggy in front, the PTW Hero in back without it's back axle due to repairs being made and a Libre lurking in the background on the left.

I have heard about that front porch thing...people must be more trusting back there...and you wanna make sure you camouflage the GOOD stuff :thumbup:

Out here in the west we have back patios with covers to keep the hot sun of our beer in the afternoon. ( well some do in this neighborhood) and we hide all our stuff in the back yards.

Be careful of those small dogs, they are faster at nippin' ya than the big dogs!!:D

The disc wheels put a much greater strain on the axle and the weld holding the threaded nut and plate on the end broke loose on a rough section of the Dirt Nap event. The other side gave way 2 years ago and was repaired by Kent at A Wind of Change. Screwyfits took the axle with him to repair it and I'll pick it up next time I pass through or if he comes back this way.

Jason, we still haven't seen yours?.... What's up with that?... Knowing your OCD, we are particularly interested in whatever sort of vacuum sealed and temperature controlled storage you have the Black Widow in... That or we have to see how close it lives to the lovely white floral motif'd sofa & love seat :lol:
