Amac Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Question...So far in my motorcycling career I've had a house and a garage. Soon I'm going to changing that situation and I'll be parking my motorcycle outdoors. Any recommendations on what to do in this situation? Link to comment
Rider1200RT Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 My bike is parked inside a cycleshell underneath the house. The house is on stilts as I live in the Fl.Keys. The cycleshell protects against wind rain and salt deposits. It is a great thing to have as I have no enclosed garage anymore for now. My roommate has one too for his VTX. The website is www.cycleshell.com No affiliation etc. I hope this helps . Link to comment
Jim VonBaden Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 My 12GS sits outside under a cover. My other bikes have as well. No real issues at all. Since I ride often, it doesn't need a battery tender either. Jim Link to comment
subvet Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I kept my bikes in one of those 10' x 12' tin sheds that you can buy at Sears for a coupla hunert bucks. Worked great. Don't know what your situation is and if you are able, and have the room to install one, but it's basically a weekend job. I would spring the extra $50 (if I had to do it over again) and buy the one with the gambrel-style roof so I wouldn't bash my head every time I stood up. Link to comment
Amac Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 That cycleshell is exactly what I'm going to need, being out in wet and windy Seattle. Thanks for the link! Link to comment
PASSMORE Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Unfortunately, I have to keep two of our bikes outside right now. I have BMW covers for both of them and it is working out as well as it can for being outside. The covers are very well made (nice ties and grommets for securing the cover). They have been weather proof to date (we have gotten a significant amount of rain in the past month). The only learning experience is to try and point them into the wind as the cover can act like a sail. Link to comment
