As long as you dont start it inside you'll be fine. Dont ask for permission from your landlord because no matter what state you're in the answer will be no. So go ahead and do it and if they something about it you can plead ignorance but if u ask ahead of time and do it anyway they can evict you.
Use to keep mine inside all the time til I bought a house with a garage. I did find that my bikes stayed alot cleaner when I did because having to look at them all the time made me polish and clean them constantly. Plus it's a pretty good conversation peice at dinner time.

LOL i used to keep my dirtbike upstairs in my apartment complex. I seriously wheeled it up some gnarly stairs, about 34 of them. I" had to hold the front brake and stop every two steps. I cant imagine trying to bring a 450+ lb motorcycle up the stairs. Can we say hernia?????????advodka said:Use to keep mine inside all the time til I bought a house with a garage.

I showed my gf the pics and she said it looks exactly like a hotel room where the bikes are in bed. Nobody wants gas on their bed at home. So ruin a hotel/motel room. priceless.Spike said:
Man, I keep my R1 in the middle of my dining room. Who needs a dining room set anyway?
I don't ever smell any gas. The only time I smell anything is after a ride. It has a very subtle "engine" smell only around the dining room. Not gas or exhaust, though. Not noxious at all and it goes away after the engine cools off.
And of course the warmth given off makes me feel fuzzy inside.
I would never tell the apt. complex and my blinds are always closed. So much for calling maintenence. My dishwasher has been broken for about 3 months now and I can't call maintenence to come fix the damn thing. I make sure the coast is clear before taking it out or bringing it in.
Still, I had the chick across the hall open her door right when I was in the middle of my doorway taking it out. She just gave me a funny look and I said, "Hi! How are you today?" She just smiled and said, "Fine, thanks" and walked away laughing. Glad she was cool about it!
Oh, and I'm on the 3rd floor! Forget pushing the bike up the stairs. I just ride the bitch up and down the stairway.

people store gasoline in the garage all the time (gas cans, power equipment), what's the difference? well, that was my initial thought at least.freeky929 said:
on the other hand, if the place catches on fire and ignites the bike as a secondary, you could have a nice explosion from the 5 gallon enclosed gas tank. an explosion in a living area would be very hazardous to your health. it's risky however you look at it...just make sure you dont sleep in the same room with it and check your smoke detectors often!

YES WORRY ABOUT FIRE CODES AND SHIT LIKE THAT! BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
BECAUSE fire codes are in place to protect peoples lives and property. To try and skirt around rules, fire codes and regulations, you knowingly put others in jeopardy of loosing life and possessions in their home. Irresponsible behavior costs everyone. If you cost one person their life, because you choose to break the law, you have taken a life and become a murderer. Because, if you proceed forward a stupid decision, you have done so with malice of forethought. which means you knew better, but proceeded to make a decision that cost another their life. That's manslaughter.
If you cause a fire because you choose to fuel your motor cycle, or gas powered bicycle inside an apartment building you risk the lives of others and their property. Gasoline vapors inside can cause serious issues for babies, young children, and seniors. A victim is a person who suffers injury, illness or death, often at the careless hands of another. So you can choose to follow the law, or selfishly risk the lives of others. BUT REMEMBER if you do the crime you do the time. But the person you killed because you were irresponsible makes you totally accountable for negligent criminal behavior.
Because if you knew better and still choose to selfishly ignore laws, rules and regulations you have chosen with malice of fore thought. Which potentially can get you life in prison. So do the morally responsible thing by keeping yourself and others safe first and foremost. It is what you would expect from others as they expect from you.
I don't know anyone who keeps a bike at home. I can only keep some parts at home and that's just to inspect it. I recently found Vander Engines customer service and finally figured out where my delivery was. I ordered some parts to the wrong address and now I have to wait another 3 days for it to arrive.
