Storing outside is the kiss of death for bikes. When i bought my first couple used bike i immediately disregarded anything that was stored outside and it was obvious which ones were. I would get something on site, no matter how close it is you will ride it more if its onsite. If your taking a 5 minute trip to the store your not going to go to a storage place to get the sypder kinda thing. You can rent storage containers fairly cheap. I can just fit my car, my yamaha and my RT in my garage without have to move any to get any of them out if you know what i mean. which means i have no room for more toys

SPYDER SHED
I built a 10x12 shed with electric behind my house, plenty of room and works great..
2013 Viper Red RT S-SE5 All 48 states on a Gold Wing now I'm working on getting all on a

I have my RT in a bike barn, I put down some pressure treated plywood and attached the Bike Barn to it. It works great and is east to get to and use. Also easy to take down in Winter if you want to store it someplace else.

Our garage was taken over by (2) 2015 RT-S and a BMW sidecar rig.

Cats and Mice
No matter where you decide to store your Spyder, keeping the animals away should be a top priority. They like to hide under the covers on the seat. Mice and other small rodents will set up home in the most obscure areas, store food, chew wires, etc. This intrusion and damage can occur in less than 24 hours.

Do you have enough height in your garage to install a small lift, store the Camaro on the lift with bikes/Spyder underneath?

Judging by the responses above and my own prized 67 Mustang convertible, I'd say we might have to discuss removing the Camaro! Spyders just look better next to classic Mustangs!!!
-
I back mine into a stall in my horse barn and keep a half cover on it. 80' from the house, rubber flooring, steel barn that can be locked up, no windows or other means of forced entry unless they've got a torch.

My Camry hates my Spyder - it has been outside since the Spyder came home with me and took over its half of the garage.

For now I chose a 10' x 20' space that stores the Spyder and on some occasions two different scooters as well as some miscellaneous household goods. Works for me now. But be sure the entrance between drive and storage room is relatively smooth, some have quite the step up.

The Spyder is in my garage with the other bikes. The Camaro is outside for the first time. Ack.
Should I cover it to avoid wildlife, or is being in the garage sufficient?
I'm still going to explore other solutions since I want better for the Camaro. It's good it's not alive because it would be pretty annoyed right about now.

As I live in the country, I have room for a barn, 30x40, for my toys and junk.

We have a 3 car garage. The cage is flanked by a Kendon trailer on one side, the other side (single stall) sits the Spyder and 4 motorcycles. The truck sits in the driveway. The bikes are in there all Tetris-like. Three in front, one beside ||| >-- . If you have room, a 10x10 shed is the minimum size that fits a Spyder.

We have a loft above the garage, so we would have to remove that. Interesting idea though!

I'm reluctant to cover a bike (Or any other toy!) in a garage: the "creepy-crawlies", and other varmints; just LOVE those dark secluded spots, and will take up residence quickly!
