This process takes skill and brains and money. Money needed for a tarp 20 x 15, undercoating, a box of silica beads, rope, gas treatment, and motorcycle along with a motorcycle cover.

Fill the tank with high test, treat the fuel and take the bike on a short tear. After the bike cools spray undercoating on parts prone to rust, keep from brake parts, rotors etc.

!. Unroll the tarp and drive the bike onto it. Turn petcock off. (Whoops I forgot to turn off the fuel DOH!)

2. Place the bottle of silica beads under the bike or close to it.

3. Wrap the bike like a taco with the tarp and tie it up as tight as possible.

4. Place bike cover over the bike and tie it up.

Disclaimer, by doing this you are sealing the bike. Existing moisture cannot escape well, hopefully, the silica beads work to remove it. I will know by spring if this set up is a good or bad idea.

Anyways, I was desperate and cheap so I thought I would give this a go. May or may not be a good idea. I have to do this for my second bike before a snow storm this week arrgggg.

Tagged and bagged. Hopefully, with the silica beads and undercoating, the bike will be ok.

Finally.. and hopefully I will have a shed for it next year verses doing this ...

Last year it cost me $$ to store both bikes so I thought I would try the above. As a side note, Here is a pic of one of the bands I was in 10 years ago.

This was tried before without the silica beads and rust check. Never lock moisture and bikes together improperly.

I doubt the beads will be enough to trap all the moisture. Better to just put a 25 watt bulb under the bike.

I would be concerned about condensation on the inside of the tarp during day / night transitions. Maybe a moving blanket under the tarp to reduce condensation? I guess the problem is preventing something from absorbing and holding moisture.

I would bring it in the house before I did all that
