Darryl88, this is what I was thinking. But I figure if the bikes in the garage and if I wipe it
down once a week or so with some S100 Detail & Wax it should be fine.
KeithB, good point on the indoor cover. I have one of these.

Wouldn't there be less moisture in cold air? I would think that corrosion would happen slower in the cold.

In a heated garage there is less chance of your chrome developing rust do to higher moisture content in a non heated garage

No, the very act of heating the air also dries it out.

Yes, but warmer air can evaporate H2O and hold more moisture. The issue with moisture in the cold is that it doesn't want to stay in the air, but rather condenses on things like cold steel. However, I'd say unless you are going in and out of the garage several times a day or leaving the door open for extended periods, It will be a non-issue. Particularly so if you have your scoot covered.

Yep, have the battery tender. Now if I lived in AZ during the winter, I woudn't need any of this.

oldfartjc, you got that right about the libs. Now with the state elections coming next week,
the moonbat libs are out like flies at the dump.
