    Default Outside parking

    Just moved to new house and no garage for my Spyder.. It has always been inside before. What do others with similar problem do to keep their Spyder safe year round. We get considerable snow here. Suggestions appreciated.

    Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

    I've used a cover, a bike barn, and a shed, like the first three members suggested. All of them did the job. It really depends on your budget and zoning in your area.

    A cover works well, but they require effort to put on and remove.

    The bike barn is inexpensive, easy to use, and free standing. Free standing is an advantage in bad weather like snow.

    A small shed is the best. Easy to use and you can keep other stuff in there.

    I used an Enclosed trailer (7 x 14 V-Nose with back feet so you can load without being hooked to truck) while my garage was beaning built. Worked great and you can use to haul your Spyder around......then if things change sale it and recover $$$$$thumbnail2.jpgthumbnail2.jpg

    I have a friend that rides a rt, he wanted to be able to haul his RT to a location cross country, camp and ride!! He picked up a v-nose trailer, went inside and made a little camper out of it, with a sliding rear wall, put a door in it, cut a hole for ac. Everything is based on the outside walls and flip up out of the way such that in 20mins, he can load the bike, tie it down and be off down the road. Basically he's made a home made toy hauler, it's nice, and the best part is in the winter he stores the bike in there, plenty of room to walk around it and do small repairs if needed. If I didn't have a garage, I would buy a trailer and set it up so I could use it for a garage, storage, and a place to lock it down if needed! Good luck!!
