How do you put seven bikes away for the winter?

Like sardines.

Yep, I'm cheap so I cut the insurance off Nov.1. All have tenders. One is showing on the floor in front of the Ultra. StaBil is dosed at the two year storage amount.

We have had great Nov. weather so far. I will leave the insurance on one bike next winter.

I do have covers that my wife bought me for Christmas a few years ago. Then when I went into the garage for coffee and read the morning paper, I could not look at the bikes so I have kept the covers off ever since then.

Show us what you got. I'd like to see individual pics of each one. I told my wife that I'm thinking of buying a second hog, she shut me down pretty quick. I wonder how you managed to get 7. hmmm

I hope you don't get some low life with a big truck break into your garage and steal them all,I keep my insurance going through the winter just in case of that happening.
