One
of the problems with living in a condo is the limited parking space you
are given. So if you have a car and it is already taking your
designated parking space, where then will you put your motorcycle? Some
people just park it on the street in front of their building, but this
is not a perfect motorcycle storage solution as the bike is not
protected from Mother Earth’s harsh elements (e.g. Sun, snow, and rain
among many others). It is also left unprotected from threats of theft
and vandalism.
One
type of storage that condo owners can use is storage sheds. Motorcycle
storage sheds are low cost, easy to assemble, light, and weather proof.
However, not all condo associations allow their tenants to set up
motorcycle storage sheds. If you are one of those who are allowed to
build a garage or storage shed in the condo parking area, good for you.
But if you are not part of the lucky ones, you may want to try buying a
decent coverage for your bike. Natural elements do shorten the life of
your bike. The sun, for instance, eventually discolors and dulls paint.
It also gives protection, though very minimal, from those who are fond
of touching bikes and sitting on them just so they can imagine how it
feels like to ride on one.
For
those who do not live in a condo but is struggling with motorcycle
storage due to lack of space, you may want to explore hanging your bike
on the ceiling. This is a tricky one and you may want to ask for
professional help. But, it is a great space saver and a lot of bike
owners have been doing this to solve their motorcycle storage dilemmas.
The
last option you can resort to is to lease a unit in a self storage
facility. Most storage facilities have provisions for motorcycles and
other forms of vehicles. The good thing about this is that you are
assured that your bike is protected from harsh natural elements,
thieves, and vandalisms. This motorcycle storage solution is perfect
especially if you are not using your bike on a daily basis. Just make
sure you prep your motorcycle for storage to make sure it still runs
properly when you use it again.
