• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Where do you store your Spyder?

Check out the link to the "Bike Barn" in the first response you got above from Bfromia. A few folks on the forum have mounted one of those on a wooden platform and say it works fairly well.
 
Tough one...

I have the room so in the garage. My wifes Mini and the spyder share the garage and I finally gave up the ghost and chucked out all the junk I was keeping for someday that may or may not come. You will figure it out but seems that how severe your weather is would dictate where you would want to keep it. :thumbup:
 
Locked up

The :spyder2: and two motorcycles are in the Locked garage/shop. Yes, wood working shop. That's what covers are for. They have to be indoors---- Snowed last night:yikes:.

SPYDER SPACE

It depends on the Season....In Vt. in the winter it lives in the house ( sort of ). When I built it in 92 I had an 16 ft L x 8ft W ramp built at the rear of the building into the basement. I built an extension off the back to cover the ramp. Before I finished 2/3 of the basement I could bring all mine ( and friends toys ) down there. Then after the Home Theater was completed I built a 12' X 8' platform on the ramp.......but I built it so I can raise it up ( at one end )to gain full access to the working area of the basement............During the riding months the Spyder is in my 3 car garage.........Mike :bbq:

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 :(
 
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.

Two :ani29::ani29:'s and my car all fit in the heated garage. :yes:

Off site rental garage/storage is probably a good idea for your situation.
 
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.

Spyder Storage

In Vermont ( Oct. 15 to April 1 during the winter) it is stored @ a dealership,( heated, under lock a key, insurance purposes) with the full cover on it, on a Battery tender.

During the riding season it is in my drive way with a full cover on it. Deanna
 
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.
 
We have a special Spyder section in our garage

Walter, what size storage space did you need?

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.
