I guess I always had this problem but I had an old evo sporty I didn't really concern myself about it, it was a beater, once a year I busted the rust and rattle canned it, it looked decent you had to really look hard to notice. This bike in my signature has a year in that garage and I have some bits of rust in spots, I saved a long time to buy this bike, even though it's used and not a nice shiny new one I busted my *** for it and it's a rider but I'll admit the rust is pissing me off.

The wife isn't going to like it but I'm designing a ramp to get the bike in the house for Mid Jan, Feb, and March, and I'll look into some of the other solutions for Nov, Dec, and Jan. Going to have to fill a column with cement in the basement to support the bike and move the dining room table over, but it's doable.
