Whats the best way to temporarily store your bike outside? Just got married and have no carport or garage. Bike will have to sit outside w/the other vehicles. Don't wanna buy one of those "bubbles" as I am saving up to buy a 12x24 shed for scoot and tools, so wanna save the 500 - 600 for the shed. I am currently covering my bike with a cotton sheet and then with a bike cover bought from wal-mart. Bike is sitting directly on the ground, but I do have a 4x8 wood platform that I can park it on. Anyone have any better ideas to temporarily store bike outside? Would it be beneficial to store bike on the wooden platform for the couple of mos it will take to save up for a proper garage? appreciate responses. thanx.

 

A few options...im sure there are more but these come to mind first

A. Get a girlfriend with a garage
B. Get a buddy with a garage
C. Move wife out and bike in

 

Tim, thanx for the help..however,

A. Wife would kill me.
B. Buddies garage is full with their bike stuff.
C. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

well its almost spring so if it was me.. a good wax and polish and cover it up and maybe a tarp over that... what state are you in besides the state of confusion ... Hell its almost riding weather..

Two words -- DINING ROOM.

 

Have You checked out a storage unit wouldnt need a big one just a thought maybee not to much cash?

 

1rst of all buy a good cover! spend $90 bucks, second take the cotton sheet off, thats just gonna absorb moisture and thats not good. get a bottle of fuel stabilizer and follow the directions and put a coat of wax on all chrome and painted surfaces. If you have a leather seat get a good leather conditioner and apply monthly. If you do all of this your bike will be fine. Next year you'll have the shed. Gaurdian makes an awesome all weather cover, most motorcycle shops carry them.

 

+1 on the dinning room, that way you will get your shed before she gets her dinning room table.
btw congrats on your recent marriage.

 

very happy with this fully-lined cover $47 with free shipping (ebay):

 

Dose anyone you know have an enclosed trailer? Put it in there for now. Park the trailer where the shed is going to be
