If you can... build a shed..... they aren't THAT expensive, and you can get a pre-made one for a reasonable price.
1) the bike will be out of the public eye
2) you'll have a clean/dry place to tinker with it

If you live in a condo type home... you might look into one of those storage unit places.

A cover is a good temporary solution.... but.... you can trap moisture, and dirt.... and condo groundskeepers, have been know to run their leaf blowers indiscriminatly around bikes... you might find all manner of debris under the covers.

parking INSIDE your home works... but only if you're on the ground floor LOLOL

Good advice so far so I'll ask a different question. What kind of HD is it?
