    Is there a place to store motorcycles in the bay area?

    I just got a new apartment which doesn't have an indoor garage for storing
    my bike over the winter indoors and wondered if they make motorcycle
    storage rental facilities in the silicon valley.

    Do you know of any indoor motorcycle storage locations in the bay area?
    Are they cost effective?

  2. You could price storage facility spaces but I think they're
    reluctant to have stuff like gasoline stored there.

    Best bet, IMHO is a $25 cover from AutoZone, sprayed
    with a whole bunch of waterproofing and secured with
    extra bungees.

    Only downside is that every time the weather turns sunny,
    you have to take the bike out and go for a long ride to
    evaporate out any condensation. Tough work, but you
    can do it if you try. :)

    There is a parking garage under Chung Wong Dong Pong chiropractic
    clinic.
    You can also post your address and some people will happily take care
    of your problem. I had some stuff stolen from me lately so i'd know.
    Compared to the cost of chiropractic care they must be.
    You're better off asking the snobs on ba.motorcycles.
    In rec.* this is probably OT

    I have a question mebbe someone can answer; why don't MC covers have
    rain-proof vents up topside? Sometimes MC's can be better off uncovered,
    especially if you live in high humidity areas. Rust and other moisture
    damage is guaranteed w/o proper venting. My two bikes have identical
    covers, each with a flapped vent at handlebar end. They're only open in the
    wind. IOW, they're useless as tits on a boar.

    Given the tendency of some bikes to wander off without their legal
    owners, a locked garage is a better bet. When I lived in San Francisco,
    my apartment had a dedicated space in the underground garage. As the
    motorcycle was my only vehicle, there was enough room for me to rent out
    part of it to a friend and neighbor to keep his bike as well.

    Security aside, it's much easier to get to the bike from a nearby garage
    when the sun comes out.
