Doc1647545523 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 For most of us, it's not quite that time yet, but the snow in the air this morning got me started thinking on the subject of winter storage. Again this year I have room to store motorcycles for CR members (only). The storage at the Hangout in Delaware is well-lit, alarmed, heated to above 40 degrees all winter, and has 110v available. You don't have 24/7 access to the bike, but with a day's notice I can let you into the garage to ride it on a warm January day or at least to start it and let it run 10 minutes. The idea would be for winter storage of running bikes only, with spring pickup by April or May. What this is NOT: --storage for your rusted old frame and box of parts that you hope to work on someday --storage for jet skis, trailers, cars, boats I suggest the following: Bring a bike cover or at least a sheet to keep the dust off the bike. Put fresh fuel and fuel stabilizer in the tank. Bring a battery tender, or at least leave the battery accessable so that I can connect a battery tender to it every few weeks. Or, take the battery home with you and keep it on a tender. If your bike leaks oil, let me know so that I can put absorbant underneath it to save my painted floors. No gas leakers, please. Here is a pic which shows some of the available bike storage area: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/IMG_5620-M-1.jpg There's room for about eight additional bikes without parking them too close to each other. PM me with questions or to set up a time to drop off your bike. For those who haven't been to the Hangout, it is at 320 London Road, Delaware, in the Howald Industrial Park, Building 100 (first building as you come down the drive). Also, I have a year-round standing offer for members of the Armed Forces who are stationed away from home: You can leave your bike here for your whole deployment--just give me instructions on how often you want it started or whether you want a friend to take it out from time to time to ride it.

Doc1647545523 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'll stop by later with the porsche, thanks for the parking spot I'll be happy to have it at the Hangout. Lots of the kids in the neighborhood have been asking me to teach them how to drive a stick. Your Barneymobile will be perfect for that.

Otis Nice Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Doc, you rock. Still one of the best experiences I've had meeting a "new" member for the first time a couple of years ago. You and Clay were the only ones who reached out to me that day...and Clay has known me for a decade. LOL! Oh...can I have your WRC you drove that day? I'll take real good care of it. I have a child on the way and need it for...some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
