Default Help me find a shed to house a Scooter.

I am looking for a non-permenent shed that can house a Honda Ruckus scooter. The Ruckus is 72" long ( 6ft ) and 37" ( 3ft 1 inch ) mirror tip to mirror tip. Do any of you have either a metal shed or a plastic shed that you would reccomend?

Ever consider a tarp? A shed seems like overkill for a scooter.

Why do you say that? I live in New England and housing it for the winter in a shed is definately cheaper than renting a storage container.

There are some really cool pop-up temporary vehicle shelters on the market right now. There are some motorcycle-specific ones that are really nice and not too expensive.

I forget the brand. I'll look it up when I get to work on Monday and post in this thread.

thanks Porter.

A small storage container to house the scooter from November to March will be $42.00 a month. That could be $200 towards a shelter for the scooter per year.

why don't you build a shed?

probably cost you a couple hundred bucks and you can buy the book at home depot that'll walk you through it if you aren't wood savvy.

Little pricey, but cheaper than a shed, and it isn't permanent. Perfect if you have an apartment.

I like the bikebarn. I like the semi-permenant aspect of it.

1. You suck. I want a Ruckus so bad but since I own a working scooter I can't justify it yet

2. It's a Ruckus. New England winter can be sheer fun on that thing.

4. It's OK to let them get wet.

Luckily, my g/f has a shed on the house she rents. My ruckus is now in winter storage over at her house right now. I generally keep it under a tarp in front of my house.

Oddly enough, the Ruckus has become quite the problem for renting a place next year. Most apartment buildings don't have storage sheds.

Ruckus...Why?

A 96 kawasaki ZX6R would be so much more fun.

Because a ZX6R requires a motorcycle drivers license and doesn't get 80mpg. Instead of getting something that impresses all the laydeez, I got a practical commuter... which is what I needed.
