I have found that if I have something stored far away, the odds of me using it are almost zero. That may not apply to everybody.

Can't park at my building, need help looking for house indoor private garage parking spot
- Thread starter Phalanx
- Start date
Few options:
1. Sell bike and pause riding until you live in a place you can safely store bike.
2. Park in Condo and take the risk. Find out condo's policy on parking of motorcycle etc.
3. Find 24/7 storage unit that meet you price, size and travel distance criteria.
I would not recommend parking on strangers property unless fully confident that you understand the risks and have a clear and concise agreement.

I live in a house and was considering storing my bike somewhere in the area I usually ride. It takes me over an hour to get there anyways, and I could avoid droning on the highway or dealing with traffic or unexpected rain on the way there/back. It's no different than storing your boat at the marina.
I can fit 3 bikes comfortably @$320/month

I had storage for a while, when I went through my phase and didnt want to tell the wife I bought 5 new bikes in 1 year, I think for a smaller space it was like 200? bigger one was more expensive.
ADV bikes take up more room so you'll need a bigger space, but smaller unit, you can probably fit 2 'normal sized' bikes easily.
Good way to gauge storage facility quality is if they maintain facilities(grass is cut, driveways are well paved) and they have staff on site.

I guess it would depend on where you use that particular thing. If it's something you use at home, then of course you're unlikely to drive to the storage locker, pick it up, and bring it back home to use. But if you're going that way anyway, for example to ride north/east of the city, then it seems logical to me to store your bike in an area you'll be passing through anyways.
Of course I am making the assumption that OP does all his riding north/east of the GTA like I do, which may not be the case with him, maybe he likes riding in his own neighborhood or to the US.
Wait. I've been looking to move to a condo from my current place with garage parking. You're telling me underground condo spaces aren't safe? WTAF!!
It's been this way for 20 years. Maybe longer, but that's as far as I go back.
Look up "stolen" on gtam.
how much and size?
yeah was gonna do this until someone i know who does this had their ss stolen. had a thick chain, with anchor into the ground, and noise alarm on his bike. was stolen, this was in a condo.Few of my friends got their bikes stolen from condos over the past 10 years. Only one of them still live in a condo and he just locks up his bike with a good chain tied to the pipe that's around his parking spot. Haven't been touched in 5 years, and it's a SS. Might be something you want to consider. If you don't have any anchor point for the chain, consider this:
Ground Anchor: How to choose and fit the best security for your bike or motorbike | The Best Bike Lock
A ground anchor provides a secure immovable object to lock your motorbike or bicycle to at home or at work. I explain how to choose and install the best ground anchor for your bike.thebestbikelock.com
I did it when I lived in a condo 10 years ago and no I didn't ask for permission first. Just started blasting (my concrete driller). I'm sure the holes are still there.
8x10 heated unit, about $330 tax in
i can store 3 bikes easily
