Where and how is your bike stored?

My bike lives in a shed at home when it's there, but I ride to work and use a company vehicle if the weather is crappy, so it spends a lot of time inside at work. In the winter I use the bottom of a motorcycle crate to forklift it up to the balcony/storage area. I have a centre stand so at least my rear wheel stays off the ground.
Garaged up on front and rear stands.
I do like the look of those portable garages/tents like that if you don't have somewhere indoors to store it. Outdoor storage isn't an option IMO for a bike. We've looked at moving a couple of times and not having a garage to store the bike at least (screw the cars lol) is a deal breaker for me.
Do I see a mountain bike in the corner???
When the weather is bad is stays in the front of the garage. For the most part it is outside (undercover) on a brick pad that I built on the side of the driveway. Unfortuneatly my garage is not wide enough to keep the bike in for daily access and keep a Hummer and SRX. This was the best compromise that I could come up with.
same here. thre my truck out of the garage for my 6RGarage. Bike gets dibs before any damn cage does.
You do. I was a very active mountain biker and BMX racer before I had my bad crash racing BMX about 4 years ago. (before I bought my 6R) I haven't ridden my mountain bike more than 40 miles since then. I need to get back out there. Every time I want to go ride, I end up on the 6R instead.
My last ride was 6 miles about 4 months ago and I thought I was going to die. lol. I'm so out of shape. I'm hoping to get back out soon since I've lost a bunch of weight. This was me about 5 years ago. I gained a bunch of weight shortly after this when I got hurt, but I've lost all of it and more in the last 6 months. Now just a matter of getting my ass on the bike again.

Sorry for the Hijack. Back to our regularly scheduled program.

Nice! I was looking at getting a shed instead of just a cycle shell or bike barn type cover too. I like that yours even has a furnace in it to keep your baby warm.

Haha, originally being from Chitown, I remember winter, heh. Not so much out here. Still can't wait to get a house though. Just a few more months... One of my requirements is gonna be at least a 2 car garage. And my car ain't going in there LoLz. The wife can have one side fer hers, my bike will have the other.
The girly and I living with mom and dad at the moment while we save for a house, they let me keep the bike in the garage fortunately. She and I have already agreed that our house will have to have a garage so that it can store both our bikes(we couldn't care less if the cars are outside lol).

I keep mine stored in my garage as well. I try to never keep it parked outside longer than a couple hours or so.

Mine sits under the car port. Keeps it from being sun-bleached, but doesn't do anything for keeping it clean. I miss my garage
Here's where I have mine. Notice my truck stays outside. Nothing is too good for my babies.
Had to let my speed3 go to buy a house. My wife and I still miss that fantastic piece of machinery. It worked out though, I ended up being able to buy a bike
I voted garage, even though my shitty Corolla will barely fit inside. Even with no tool chest, tap the rear wall with the bumper, squeeze out the driver door, and just enough clearance for the door to not rip off the rear bumper. Now it's filled with tools and bikes!
I've got a two car garage with three motorcycles (R6, 6R, VFR) in it.
An enclosed trailer with two quads (400EX, Raptor 250) and a dirt bike (YZ-450) in it.
The shed has a motorcycle (TW-200) in it too, so the lawn mower sits outside in the rain.
None of them need to be covered, because I ride them all!
I've got 7 cars outside...
...and yes I am white trash! :rockon:
