Where do you store your Spyder?

[Jenfz09]

I should have thought about this a little more!

We have a garage that has my prize possession 2500 mile Camaro inside it as well as a few motorcycles. I can fit two motorcycles on either side of the car.

We have a parking space next to the garage. The garage is more of a barn in the back with a parking spot next to it. There is a large workshop and a few rooms in front of the area where the Camaro is located, but there is only a standard sized door and a wall, so I can't use that space as it stands.

I am thinking about:
1) renting a storage space (10 x 10?)
2) getting a shed to put in the parking spot
3) getting a vinyl shelter to put in the spot
4) renting someone's garage
5) heaven forbid, parking the Camaro in the spot and getting a shelter for it (if I am permitted by the town) and putting the Spyder in the garage

What do you guys think? Where do you keep your Spyder?
This is literally keeping me up right now

Mine just sits outside.. if it's going to be awhile between rides, I clean it up and use the BRP outdoor cover.

In my garage heated by my outdoor boiler.

I rent a garage 10 minutes from home. No room at home with a small carport.

storage.

If you have room to store it up front why not put in a larger door ?
Spyder would be "home" and available at all times!

I had to get creative to get my :spyder2: in my garage. I park it sideways. By doing it this way I was able to fit two Harleys, my prized 66 Mustang and a 65 Corvair I an restoring into the garage.

I keep mine in my garage.

:agree: Since I've sold my "Cage", it even has it's own parking spot now! :thumbup:

I store mine in a mini storage nearby, having no garage at all. I keep a scooter (Piaggio MP3 500 ASR/ABS) on the street and can be at the mini storage in 5 minutes to take longer rydes

That's a neat idea: keeping an extra pair f wheels nearby, to transport you to where the fun REALLY starts! :2thumbs:

There's a wall in the way. If I didn't have the wall, I could fit ten Spyder in the rest of the space, maybe more. I'm not sure if the wall is a load bearing wall. Also, the area in front of the garage is higher and then goes back to floor level, so figure there's a four feet by twenty something plus room in the middle, a wall, and another two rooms in front. It's a big building, but I can only access the 1.5 car garage part to store vehicles.

We would be looking at some major construction (not that I haven't thought about it!)

My husband's Challenger is currently next to the house, so you can imagine the space issue. One of the cars would have to be parked on the street and it's not fair as it is that my Camaro gets to live inside.

We will figure it out. I can't deal with the idea that the Spyder is sitting outside right now uncovered.

Walter, what size storage space did you need?

 

[oldguyinTX]

My cage moved outside & the Spyder & trailer rest comfortably in the garage.

We have a 28 foot cargo trailer the bikes go in the winter and in the spring the car sits out and the bike's have the garage. The dirt bikes have the trailer all summer so we can take off for a ride anytime. With 8 bike's we move them around a lot. dirt bikes get the shed in back yard during winter. Good luck with your storage Jim.

Mine is very close as I ride when ever I can...jtpollock

I use my garage but I have seen some here build a shed just for the Spyder.

 

[blacklightning]

I keep mine in my garage, and my rarely driven Roush in the next stall. If I didn't have a garage, I would build me a 10x10 storage shed. I had my prize 87 LX 5.0 stollen back in 1994 when I got married and moved to Columbia, S.C.. I promised myself I would never again leave one of my toys outside. Even when we moved back to NC and were having our house built, I rented a garage space on the apartment grounds.

my garage is my woodworking shop so no vehicles inside. I keep mine outside in a driveway next to my fishing boat, and covered in an ultra guard cover. It's behind a privacy fence gate and has houses on 2 sides so it is never in the sun and rarely exposed to the weather.
