outside storage sux, HELP!
ok so i improved my living conditions but the bike suffers, now. always had my bike in a garage or shed of some type. now it sits outside in the elements 24/7.
I just noticed yesterday that the "waterproof" cover i have on it in trapping water between it and the leather tour pak i just put on it, causing mold! and spots where the leater looks like its chickenpox. i was hoping i didnt need to spend $400 on a shelter for it this winter but maybe its best. i have friends that can put under a carport but i like to be able to just jump on and ride when i want also i like to see that its still there everyday rather than wonder what happened to it while sitting somewhere out of view. anybody got any ideas?

A bike as pretty as that deserves enclosed shelter. Don't u have any friends that u can rent a space in their garage or something? Or store it in a storage locker or self storage, then you'll have access to it when u want!!

Improved your living conditions? I guess that depends on whose priorities you're going by. For me, my garage and shop areas are the priority... and the nicest part of my house LOL.
Just kidding you... In a way. But I know what you mean.
