Winter storage - advice please?

[yeti]

Now that I have stopped road riding, I intend to lay the bike up over the winter. Unfortunately the garage seems to be pretty damp, and short of re-roofing the bloody thing, I need to find an efficent way to stop the rot setting in.

I have various options, but would appreciate any advice/experience from those of you who have done this before.

Has anybody used one of those tent thingies with moisture absorbing pellets? Which one is best? I know DP do one but being DP it will be twice the price.

Do I build a tent and fit a de-humidifier to it?

Any help gratefully recieved.

Not such a stupid idea, I always used to keep it in the dining room, but since my divorce I no longer have that option.

Thanx Daz, been trying to find VACBAG on the net but with no success

Good grief Darren, in that first link the bike grew an extra wheel after the winter!!! Could be a good money earner.

Yeah, I noticed that as well, plus all the extra steel work. Not sure I fancy that extra weight. At least that third wheel would stop me falling over.

Just like my third leg.
