Many riders live in states that experience long months of bitter cold temperatures and snowy conditions: Not ideal for riding a motorcycle. For those of you in the southern states – many of us also hold out hopes of coming to visit you!

Motorcycle dealerships and repair shops offer winter storage in the northern states and charge anywhere from $199 to $350 for this service.  It’s a convenience to have your motorcycle stored in a heated service garage, and it provides you with a little more space in your own garage. These dealers may perform some service on your bike to ready it for the winter months but it is something that any rider can do right at home. Watch the video (below) and see for yourself. If space isn’t a factor, consider getting your bike ready for the winter yourself to save some money and the inconvenience of taking your bike to storage and picking it up.
