My bike has a garage of its own and it may get a tad bit of heat from the back room of the house but for the most part is not heated and very cold. My bike is loaded with chrome so I keep a nice coat of wax on it. Would a sheat be a bad idea? I dont want the bike to sweat I here may people covering there bikes but I fear a cover thinking they may cause my bike to sweat.

 

Old bed sheet works wonderfully...keeps the dust off

 

As long as you aren't covering it with a sheet of plastic it will be fine. Been covering mine in an unheated garage for years with no rust troubles...BTW, wax won't prevent rust on chrome...Don't believe me? Take a piece of chrome steel, wax half and leave half un-waxed and lay it out in the weather. Both sides will rust evenly...Not that it matters, alot of the crap on our bikes is chromed aluminum, anyway.

 

could be a dumb question but...

tie the bed sheet down or just drape it over the bike?

mine stays in a heated shed on carpet. space heater keeps it warm (above 50 at least) and she's in there with a roommate.

 

Unless the wind is blowing in your garage, I don't see a reason to tie it down.

 

If you are worried about moisture get something called Damp-Rid and hang it in the garage, It will absorb any moisture in the air.

 

40 watt light bulb under the cover works wonders

 

The old light bulb trick always sounded like a good way to burn your garage down to me.

 

Greetings,

Mine's in an unheated garage and covered...Moreso to keep the dust off between rides. I've never had a problem with rust and such and I don't put anything on the chrome.

 

haha...i deserved that one.
