Bikebarn bike cover. - SV650.org

Has anyone got one of these? At first I thought they looked a bit naff but then I thought.....I have a fairly big shed which I was maybe looking at replacing with an even bigger one to easily accomodate a bike as well as a lawnmower and 3 pushbikes etc.
But then I thought although they look a bit naff the sole purpose of these are for a motorbike nothing else, so never would it be a problem that when getting other stuff out of the shed would my pride and joy accidently get knocked by other items being shifted in and out of a shed.

They just look like a really naff foldy tent to me.

Just get a reeeeeealllly big shed, with enough room for three motorbikes and nothing else.

Problem solved

get one of these http://www.trimetals.co.uk/motorcycl...ge.php?m=3&g=8 then you get really secure, and enough room to work on the bike when the weathers rough

Not quite big enough for all the other stuff I need to store as well, and I haven't got room for two fairly big out buildings. The more I think about the bikebarn idea the more I think I might take the risk. I was just wondering about ventilation issues and it probably getting damp and/or humid.

There was a thread on these. Try the search.

AFAIR it was meant to be pretty crappy.

My mate has one and it keeps all the dust off it. Not a bad idea but an old bed sheet does the same thing.

So they aren't as waterproof and weather proof as they are made out to be?

You'd be better off using the shed to store the bikes IMO. You can work on them, they're properly out of the way and a bit more secure. Or a Stormex, which you can take with the bike, or pack down out of the way.
