Winter storage with no garage

Forum Sponsor
I would build a nice shed if you have the space, insulate it so you can work on the bike over the winter, have room for tools ect . . .
 
I just leave it outside. Sometimes with the keys in it.

If the /OP is looking for a house, money is probably tight so another $800 for a shed may not be in the picture, but it certainly is a worthwhile expense for future consideration.

Unless the shed is heated (a whole other i$$ue), you're not going to be hanging around out there working on your bike in the winter anyway, because it's cold! So why not just properly winterize your bike, wrap it up under a decent bike cover & leave it there over the winter? Bring the battery inside, stabilize the fuel & your bike will be fine come spring. I've done it before.

Saw this recently online, but don't know who sells them. Would definitely give a bit more peace of mind if storing your bike outdoors?:

They are Canadian - out of Mississauga. I sold them for a while, but the sideline got in the way of my regular work, so no longer sell them.

They're a good unit, I've got 2 at the cottage for my ATV & sled, but you do need to make an effort to moisture barrier the ground that it's on. Moisture will creep up and condense on the inside of the roof of the unit and then drip down @ any low points.

How much are those? I can't find the price. It would suit me well and it looks like you can just fit two bikes in there.

Touch base with rideinn or one of the dealers listed on the site. 2 might be tight depending what they are (2 trials bikes sure, 2 goldwings not likely).
 
I just looked up sea containers on Kijiji... Looks like I found my next garage for under $3000!
You can get the 8x20 ones for like $1500!

Hi guys, Just wondering what people without a garage are using for winter storage.

Just make sure you carry lock de-icer with you otherwise you'll never get the key in.

House = big comfy garage. Grab some 2x4s and ride it on inside. Makes for terrific dinner conversation.
