Default Storage places?

So where does everyone store their ride?

I have a barn that I have walled a room off of so I can heat it and be comfortable when it's so friggin cold out. 10x10 with insulation in the stud wall and ceiling. Salamander for heat and it's wired for electric.

Was gonna use the spare bedroom but it meant another remodeling project in the house for the ramp in and opening the doorway in the hall. Maybe next year.

Mine sits in an unheated shed! Is this your "first born", or what?

I have a heated garage. I'm gonna end up storing it at my Dad's garage this winter though. Between my car, my girlfriends car and everything else I have, its a bit cramped when I want to work on it.

In my insulated, unheated garage, about 6" in front of my car. Have to think about the "Harley Bay" addition to the garage next year

Unheated garage. I'm not concerned about the heat, as long as it's away from the snow.

Mine is in a semi protected car port, covered with a Walmart cheap cover. Here in Texas we don't "Store" them cause we ride all year.
