Stabling Poll
My first attempt at a poll here but I'd like to see a graph on our bikes' accomadations. My veefer stays outside w/ cover but I'm thinking about hitting up a relative for some garage space during the winter. Does your baby stay cozy in the garage, dry under the carport, nestled in an outbuilding, or completely unstabled?

Re: Stabling Poll
RC Stayed in the garage that it was stolen out of. You might check into a storage unit for the bike. Usually they are pretty cheap, plus you may find some to give you a discount, especially over the winter months. Just look for one with 24 hour access. This way, when you get a warm day off in the winter, you can take the bike for a spin without tracking people down.

In the garage, with a cover (to keep all of those pesky specks of dust off of its beautiful finish).

What kind of cover do you use for indoors? I hate to put my outdoor cover on it but don't know what type to use for my garage

I use an old sheet.

You can get dust covers though. (Which are basically old sheets. )

Re: Stabling Poll
Mine stays in the garage all covered up. Even in the garage, I am still a little nervous about it getting stolen. It seems that I hear more and more of bikes being stolen out on peoples garages.

As for type of cover, I purchased a nelson-rigg light cover. It looks like sheet material. I mainly use that to cover the exhaust pipe. I have small children who like to put legos in the exhaust pipe. I have a fear of starting the bike and a lego flies out the back and puts someones eye out.
