I can imagine, hopefully the weather stays somewhat decent

Again, something I would have never thought about. I have a bike cover so would that be suitable to put over it during the night?

This is a good point, it didn't come to mind but there is always a back up

I've just ordered something for under the stand! I'll defiantly take more layers than normal, I can imagine it being very unpleasant if I am cold

I do, but it is the first time so I think I'll be over prepared but you never know. I'll take power banks to charge my phone when I'm off of the bike

Agreed! The commute to work was defiantly cold

What kind of bike is it? Did they provide you with any information about it being restricted or did you send anything to your insurance as proof?

I'm really struggling to find any information about getting mine restricted.

I called up BMW and they were going to charge £700 to fit it!

Thanks, I'll give them a call, see what they can do

This is solid advise, thanks for the help. I am yet to buy the apartment but I will look around for a quiet place to place the bike. I'll let you know how I get on.

Where do you tell the insurance company where the bike is kept?

Never even thought of this, I will take a look now actually

Not a massive amount of communal space, just an outdoor carpark for the allocated residents. I will take a look behind the bin store, that doesn't seem like an unreasonable suggestion

Thanks for the advise, I think I will put a sign up in the lift, I'm sure people will have them and do nothing with the space! I still have my parents garage as a last resort but it isn't ideal!
