Yeah of course. Unfortunately though due to us private renting i think a garage is well out of the question.
I could think about extending the outhouse though in the near future |

your bike gets wet when you're riding it in the rain?
It's designed to cope with water, one issue in the north west of the country is how moist the air can be, this can get into the electrics a bit and cause issues.
but generally, all my bikes have been happy sitting in the garden overnight and spending all day in the car park at work. ____________________ Looking to pass your CBT / Bike tests in Bury Lancashire? try www.focusridertraining.co.uk Would recommend.

I keep the KTM outside, under 2 covers now as I found out my fancy Oxford one has not been waterproof for a very long time That with a couple of ground anchors, a million chains, 2 disc locks and a camera helps me sleep at night but would kill for a garage (not a council one though I'd rather be able to keep an eye on the bike), it's a right faff getting the bike out so I only really do it if I'm going to be out for the full day. ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

As others have mentioned it's important to apply some protection to the shiny bits. Even with the best waterproof cover you're still creating a micro-climate of humidity underneath. In some cases it could be better to leave the cover off e.g Wet salty ride home (fnar) and you pop the cover on.
Same goes for when a proper storm be brewing...Probably best to leave the cover off if your bike is left out in the open.
For those using the Stormex covers I found Fabsil Gold waterproof fluid to be very good. As good as it is I still haul the covers indoors to dry properly when the weather allows.
I also 'double bag'. It's a pain but other than some light corrosion on fork bolts and such the 2 bag approach has kept my Duc looking half decent the past 4 years it has lived outdoors. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud
