Enclosed trailer to store the bike in the storage lot.
Drive the jeep out to the trailer, park along side, unload bike and go for a ride, put bike back in trailer when done. If you need to bring the bike back to the house to work on it use the trailer.

Just wondering...Let's imagine a worse-case scenario where you're running Neighbor Hatter pipes and riding to and from your house/unit whenever you wanted. What actual recourse does an HOA have other than some hate mail or perhaps a petition? Anyone on here ever been at odds with an HOA?

I would have to decline and not buy into that subdivision. Sorry I know it is not the answer that you were looking for.
That being said, I'm sure that there are ways to modify a golf cart to tow your bike to a suitable launching point.

I typically put on 7k + a year, but now I work from home so no commute.
I did not ask for an opinion, I asked for an option.
can you help with that?
By the way, the only benefit to this would be that this is a private lake where my wife’s parents lived & where she grew up.
We will begin taking care of her handicapped brother full time, so if the opportunity to get a lakefront house for my wife to fish directly off our dock with her brother comes with the cost of me having to manage the bike issue, I’ll do it every time.
Again, I didn’t ask for opinions, I asked for options.

Or, A front wheel docking clamp mounted on a one axle frame with small wheels and a hitch so you can tow it The whole thing would be just big enough to dock the front wheel of the bike into it, lock it down, strap down the handle bars and attach it to a hitch. It would have to be wide enough to maintain stability and keep the bike up right.

Found this on the web: How Much Weight Can a Golf Cart Tow? The answer to this will depend on the brand and construction of your golf cart. But one brand of golf cart can haul 3,000 pounds with ease and that is about 3 carts towed behind one. Another golf cart brand was able to tow up to 9600 pounds.
so yes it’s possible to modify a golf cart to haul your 1000 lb bike.

Maybe Im missing something here. Why go to the expense and hassle of a tow vehicle and trailer, if hes allowed to park at a secured lot? I wouldnt want to leave my bike out in Wisconsin, but if allowed to cover it, it would be OK in SoCal.
Then he could just ride a bike or scooter to the lot. Or hitch a ride from his wife or neighbor.
I bet he wont be allowed to leave a trailer out. That would probably annoy the Stepford wives. So he will have to store a trailer in the garage.
