Parking spot storage (Enclosed trailer perhaps?) Help?

Before spending $$$ on a trailer, I'd check and make sure you would be allowed to park a trailer in the lot.
Most likely you will have some dumb association rule that forbids it.
I'd widen the gate if you can.
Good luck!

You can get one of these -see link below. My brother-in-law bought one to keep at work so his bike was out of the elements during the day. It's better than a standard cover and it's lockable and they fit Harley sizes..

I bought a 6x12 enclosed trailer from Home Depot for just under 3K primarily to keep my bike out of the weather. It definately can be used for more than a bike trailer.

+1 I used to be a bricklayer. Not a big job compared to the cost of a trailer. Then pour a concrete pad with a steel "eye" sunk into it that you can park the bike on and chain the bike to. Then get a Honda cover for it. Outa sight, outa mind.

Softail07 & MATUCHI, those CycleShells are definitely my new Plan A... Thanks for the great tips!
SoftailTim71, ummm... regarding the I-beam idea... what type of paint do you suggest?
RE: widening the gate -- I wish I could widen the gate in the brick wall, but my fascist Home Owners Association won't let us touch it!
RE: covered trailer -- anyone have any recommendations on a reasonably priced covered trailer? Once again, the Empirical Council (HOA) might not approve, but I'd like to check 'em out in case they somehow allow it. I probably can't go over $1500, so it's probably not an option...?
Thanks for the great advice everyone! I just knew this would be the place to go to find the solution!
