DeeGee - Your dining room is beginning to remind me of a thread on the road forum recently. Members posted photos of their bike collections. Mostly these were serious bikers each having at least 3+ bikes and most of these were maintained in either the living room or dining room. Also most of these people were unmarried. I think there is a correlation between being single and feeling that the best place to store and work on bikes is the living, or dining room! Perhaps it's one more "guy" thing.
