Winter storage?
If your not one of the lucky ones in Cali or Florida. How or where do you store your bike?
I don't have a garage. I have an old barn with a lean to built on the side with a concrete floor. It has four walls a roof and a solid floor. It's not heated and the dust is bad and some moisture is still present.
Does anyone rent heated storage or garages for their bikes? I would love to leave it in a friends or neighbors garage but I just can't trust it.
Anyone have the same problem as me?
What kind of storage do you have and what does it cost monthly?
Thanks,
Tim

Sitting in an attached garage, plugged into battery tender. Garage isn't heated, but it rarely gets below freezing in there.
Every now and then, we'll get a day good enough for riding.
Only in the teens here now though, so not today.

I've seen that Harley Bubble in the catalog... Always wondered if it's a gimmick or if it works well or not.

My new 08 FLHR is in my un-heated garage for her first winter. Bike is up on jack stand off ground, oil was changed, all fluids checked, fuel stabilizer added to fresh full tank, washed & waxed, tire pressure to spec, battery tender hooked up, and covered with HD approved storage cover.
Currently 3 degrees out and could care less. She'll be ready come March/April.
