I cover mine with a full cover, and it has a full tank of gas. Also it is on a Deltran Battery Tender JR. ( Switch's automatically from charge to float). Deanna

Mike,
You know nothing about me, which is obvious given your disdain for any opinion I pose, especially if it does not mirror yours.
As for the PM, it as not nasty or vitriolic, I welcome the mods to have a look at them. I suspect they will not see them as anything other than what they are, my personal opinion of your poor attitude towards anyone who disagrees with you, and your disdain for anyone without your supposed knowledge of the Spyders. Personally I give the average man/woman, a little credit for knowing how to do more than tie their shoes. Most people have more sense than you give them credit for!
From my experience with forums, there is always one that feels threatened when someone new comes along and doesn't tow their line. Unlike most, I have a hard time tolerating your brand of attitude.
PS This could have been kept in PMs, if you were not the type that likes to talk down to those that disagree with you in public!
Have we had enough fun with this pissing match yet?? :D
(And it was all over a hi-jack anyway! :banghead:)
Let's all start this week out better; okay?? :thumbup:
Even when mine is in the garage I use an oversized trike dust cover. It's loose fitting soft fabric so it's not trapping any moisture. I also put the back wheel on a dolly so I can spin the Spyder sideways in the garage, or move it around if needed.

Jim,
Don't let Mike get you down over this...
For some reason; this is how he treats everybody online. :dontknow:
It doesn't make it right; it just is, what it is...
If you met him in person: you'd swear that it's not the same guy. nojoke
.. Thanks for throwing me under the bus again, I was wondering what took you so long :dontknow: ..... However I'm off the hook now because I see your New Best Buddy ( JVB ) has just told .....DREW NJ ..... that Drew is not as smart as He ( JVB ) is....( stripped oil plug - thread )...... !!!!!!, Mike :thumbup:
:D Hi Mike,
How many years have I been asking you to put a little bit more sugar in your morning cup of coffee?? :dontknow:
I didn't throw you under the bus: you jumped!
Sorry...
I dislike everyone equally, so it's ok.😁👍

Such a friendly and welcoming group here. I love it when the leaders of a forum are so accepting of new people and ideas! It surely makes other feel more comfortable joining in and contributing their ideas and perspectives in an atmosphere of acceptance, equality and friendship! :thumbup:
Please don't insult me by misinterpreting me as any type of "leader" here. I promise you that they (the spyderlovers sheep) dislike me WAY more than you could ever imagine!I'm a loner here....👍😉.

Oh! And your "new idea" is using a torque wrench on an oil drain plug?! 🤔. You'll fit in just fine around here! 😏

Mike, I have no indoor storage, so the Spyder will be outside all winter. I have a great cover from my old Corvette which will easily fit over the entire trike, and its breathable. My question is about the moth balls. I have mice, cats, squirrels, etc. that would love to nest under my Spyder, and maybe eat the wires and seats! Are mothballs safe for the paint, and underside of the Spyder? I'm considering a coffee can filled with moth balls placed under the cover. Your thoughts?
It won't hurt anything to do that... :thumbup:
Outside storage is probably the least desirable choice. nojoke
Do you have any dealerships nearby, that might be willing to store it for you? :dontknow:
My closest dealer is 50+ miles away, and would probably charge me an arm and a leg to store my Spyder. Also, because our North Carolina winters can be mild, I'd like to have the trike nearby so I can ride it on ice/snow free days. I can deal with the cold. I might look into one of those self-storage places. It would be unheated, but out of the elements, and I might have power for a battery tender.
If I leave it in the yard or at a storage place, I'm going with the mothballs for sure. Those darn mice will chew on anything. :banghead:
Good luck! I hope that you get a chance to ride it EVERY day! :2thumbs:
Another decent thread gone south!nojokeThe main reason I visit less and post rarely these days. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.:coffee:
