anyone have a storage bubble??
Ive been looking at this for a few years now, does anyone know much about them? I keep my bike in the garage, but, hate seeing it "sweat" every spring.

RE: anyone have a storage bubble??
yeah I was wondering about the heating issue myself. it says that it keeps moisture out.. but it also calls it a "indoor" bubble. Im assuming "indoor" means out of the wind. My bike gets so wet in the damp srping that water actually drips off the motor , tank, ect.. for about 2 weeks, and this would be a great investment if it works. My boss had his 64 vette in one and loves it, but its made my car capsule and thier bike model is about 400 more..I like the thought of the kids not climbing on the bike when its in a bubble too. Or the dog.. Only problem I would have is I'd see a fingerprint on the chrome, and it'd kill me not being able to get in there to wipe it off

Although I bet this thing is great, I can't help but to laugh evertime I see one. Imagine this conversation:

Don't know but it muss be expensive cause he aint taken it out da box yet!
Just a little Humor for your Sunday Morning...
Take no offense.

I had one and it workded great. living in Florida now I no longer use it and sold it to a friend in Milwaukee.It is a bit of trouble but works good. You could certainly heat the garage to solve the problem. But when you open the door it will really take some heat to fet the temps back up. Also, garages dont seal well and it is very hard to maintain even 60 in a real cold climate.

Just because its cold outside, no reason to be cold inside.
Recovery time with a gas furnace on a real cold day with a 24 X 50 garage is only minutes.

You also have the Bike Barn. Similar concept, but it looks a lot easier to store the bike in. $395 + Shipping and they have a heater for it for an additional $50. I'll probably get one of these if I get stationed back overseas. Last time in Italy I had to leave the bike outside and covered. Being two blocks from the beach didn't help the shiny stuff.

If you live in a climate where you experience fall and winter with snow this is what you need!
I have one for my bike and my show car. Drive them in, zip it up! Open it in the spring and it looks just like it did when you put it in!!!
Only thing is...you don't want to open it up till spring.
