I find you need a "quick launch" shelter. when a bike gets burried in the garage it disappears, battery dies. and you start to question if it even runs anymore.
The trick is to have it easily accessable so you can jump on for short running errands trips. Fun while going to the store!
Mine sits ready to launch, thats the only way it get ridden. That said, Its a 2003 kawasaki z1000 with over 100K miles now :rockin:

This is a great idea for people who don't use their bike as daily transport. I've had a few friends give up on riding lately who used to ride almost as much as I do (about 15K per year). I find that their problem is since they are only riding on weekends and off time, and not commuting somewhere, they turn riding anywhere into a big production.
me: "Wanna go jam?"
them: "Where are we going to go?"
me: "I dunno. West, maybe?"
them: "What are we going to do?"
me: "Ride? We can stop and grab a beer and some lunch."
them: "How long are we going to be gone?"
me: "WHO GIVES A F*#&! Do you want to go or not?"
them: "Do you think its cold enough to need a jacket?"
me: "Forget it."
If you just do it for fun, then let it be fun. Much like homebrewing, it can be a fun, relaxing, and rewarding hobby.
