Hi. I start work overseas early next year, 4 year job and its not suitable for my DUCATI 996R. So Im considering buying one of thoes bike bubbles.

Thing is the garage where Im going to be storing my beauty gets damp in the winter, will this bubble stop my bike from getting furred up in corrosion whilst im away. Ive spent a fortune on her as previous threads I submitted would testify to.

So will the bubble be suitable?. Or dare I say it, sell it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Thanks

Can't answer about the bubble - but don't sell.... you'll regret it

I think you will need a power supply the one I have seen has small fan. Not sure how you would close all valves to stop motor rusting. You could consider breaking into smaller parts n store inside? Loan it to museum like sammy millars on the understanding they look after it?

Does anyone know which Bike bubble they would recommend?

Ill be back in the UK once or twice a year.Does this mean then I would not need to look at draining fluids etc from the bike as Ill be starting it up when I return.

Have you considered controlled humidity storage facilities. I know they do it for cars but would guess bikes would be no issue. Just google it as it may be a safe alternative but probably quite costly over 4 years
