Just curious what everyone else is doing about making room for the wife to park in the garage. We have two bikes and one garage. I sold the little enclosed trailer I was towing the bikes in. This made a handy place to store them but bigger bikes and now we use a flatbed. We called around this weekend and $100 a month gets you a 5x10 with rollup door and 24 hour access. They are ok with storing bikes in these but it seems kind of expensive. Here in the Pacific NW our riding season is somewhat short.

On the road! Actually, I plan on building a new shed out back to put it away when it looks like snow or ice will be around for more than a few days. Other than that, I plan on spending my money on warm clothes. 
I keep mine in a non heated pole barn. Stabil in the tanks, breathable covers and on tricke chargers. I also have plastic under them to keep the moisture down.
On the front porch covered and battery tender plugged in. Luckily it's a big wrap around porch and I can keep it out of the way of the front door.
I have mine parked in the garage with my wife's car. Since we only have a single garage, it does get tight but we make it work.
:shock: Short of snow and ice...it's between my legs. When we've had hard winters I still park it in the carport. I put a heat lamp about 14inches from it. I start it everyday, let it warm up, rev it a time or two, roll it back and ride it forward. That way, as soon as the roads are clear...I'm back on it. :-D

I think some of you guys that posted “on the road” missed the operative word Pacific Northwest. It’s just not nice to rub it in like that!!! :wink: I stored my Shadow in my garage last year but with the weeks of sub freezing weather we had, I’m moving my HD into a heated garage at the stealership. Considering all the issues I had thawing the bike out last spring, I think it will be worth it.
Biker up dude
I've seen people riding Seattle in the winter ... oops I was one of them. Of course getting in & out of the area was freezing! I'll never do that again. But, I keep my bike under my butt year 'round.
I live in florida so its not an issue. But i do have an enclosed trailer to keep both my bikes in when weather sucks

I used to take my BSA, Triumph and then my Norton down the back stairs into my parents basement. Fortunately it was a straight run. A bit tricky to get out in the spring. Back then bikes needed rebuild over the winter and we had no garage. Of course I have seen the odd Harley sitting in a living room. Now our bikes stay in the garage and wife parks Honda Accord in driveway. Its a car.

For those of you who store your bike "on the road" for the Winter, don't you run the risk of getting it hit by a car, or getting a ticket? Seems like a hazard to me.

It's that stuff they get in the panhandle and more often up North, like Oklahoma. You've seen it on TV. It's that fluffy white stuff and sometimes the water gets really hard and slippery. I've seen this "Winter" a few times in my life. Weird stuff.
We have a two car garage. My wife's car on her side, the bikes on my side, my car out in the snow.
