Investing in a good storage option can mean the difference between cruising down the highway without any worries and dealing with problems brought on by several months of neglect. If you don’t want your motorcycle damaged or in bad shape, here are a few benefits to choosing a reliable motorcycle outdoor storage and what features you should look for:

BENEFITS

  • Protection: A motorcycle cover could keep the heat and rain from destroying the paint job on your motorcycle. However, even the sturdiest of tarps on the market is not going to protect your ride from a direct hit by a massive branch or giant shingle from the contractors fixing your next-door neighbor’s roof. An outdoor storage gives you that level of protection, though, so you won’t have to worry about your motorcycle getting damaged in any way.
  • Safety: If your motorcycle attracts the wrong kind of attention from criminal elements, an open storage shed and tarp are not going to prove to be much of a deterrent. A secure outdoor storage provides your motorcycle with 24/7 security so you can be sure it’s safe and protected from thieves.
  • Performance-Ready: The best benefit of choosing the right storage is the fact that it keeps your motorcycle running without any problems. If you prepare your vehicle for storage and choose a facility that keeps it clean, safe and protected from pests and humidity problems among other things, then you can turn on the bike and drive down the highway in no time even when it’s fresh off the storage unit.
  • Less to Zero Repairs: That also means little to no repairs. Saves on time and trouble as well as costs. No need to worry about shelling money out to fix issues and problems that sprang up during its storage.

FEATURES

Look for motorcycle outdoor storage with the following features:

  • Security: 24-hour surveillance is a good place to start. A fence and secure gate along with sturdy storage unit doors make for a good choice.
  • Service Quality: Choose a storage facility that’s well-run with a manager and staff to whom are easy to talk that are helpful and polite. Pick those who reply promptly to your requests and inquiries.
  • Condition: Pick a facility in good shape, clean and well-lighted.
