Shed for 1150

[raginmund]

Sorry guys, I couldn't find anywhere else on the forum to put this.

It looks like my g/f and I will have to downsize to a smaller rental property quite soon, so we won't have a garage to keep both bikes warm and dry.

Can anyone reccomend a big ****-off shed, specialist bike store unit, or something else we can protect the bikes with?

Budget is definitely a factor, but so is security.

We have a ground anchor, alarms, etc, so they might have to relocated too.

cheers.

Just depends on price, if finances are low then ou may be interested in a bike barn type.
A friend uses a Bike barn for his Pan european, a sort of collapsable tent. see http://www.thebikebarn.net/ Used with a ground anchor for security, it is very good. available in several sizes.

similar ones are on ebay at a cheaper price may be worth a look. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOTORBIKE-BIK...30?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3cb153361a

If you want a shed that is bike specific or is called a motorbike shed it'll cost more than just getting on thats just a general use shed?

I have one of these;

Great piece of kit, delivered anywhere in the UK and comes with everything. They are pricey but you don't need a concrete base and the surface does not need to be perfectly flat. They are nearly impossible to get into without an angle grinder. I have the 300 which has enough space for the 1150 and my neighbours Lambretta but it is a quite tight tight. The doorway swings up and inside rather than opening out.

I got one of these for my 1200

I always wonder how the people in the advert pictures get out of their sheds without climbing over their bikes. I made sure mine would be big enough to be able to get passed the side of the bike. Having it "over sized" makes it much easier to use.

Hi, Raginmund, 3 years ago, I need to cut down my expenses so I also need to move to a smaller house with a backyard. So to keep my bike safe, I ordered a metal bike shed online. I don't any skills for DIY so I think the cheapest way is to buy. You can check it out http://whatshed.co.uk/cheap-metal-sheds/ I can say Having a security for my bike gave me a peace of mind. I got the Woodvale 6x5 fit for my bike. I'm still using it up to now, though there was a leak few months ago because of this British weather. But it was all good after a little fix. I'll still recommend it.

Sorry for bringing this thread back. I'm just using the search tab and I overlooked the date this was posted. Wow, this was 2010. My bad. I hope everything is ok now Ragimund!

I think I'm really getting old now. I've been overlooking small details already.

Sure you need a shed?

Stayed couple of weeks ago at the buccleuch arms hotel in Moffat they had these individual garages for bikes. Loads of room and well built.
