I'm looking for some advice on keeping a bike outside (covers, locks, etc).

I have a garage, but it's a PITA to get in and out of (loose deep gravel in front - not packed down, on an incline, and I often have to ask my roomates to move their cars so I can get out). I actually find myself not wanting to go for a ride because I'll have to deal with getting in and out of the garage. I have a good spot off the road and just outside my bedroom window where I can park, and I'm thinking of keeping my bike there.

I'm thinking of getting a cover and chaining the Bonnie to something immobile. It doesn't rain much here in AZ, so I'm not too concerned about rust.

Any advice or reccomendations?

Thanks! I know it's a newbie question!
Look out for rodents! I parked mine on a concrete slab w/ a canvas cover. Nearly everytime I pulled the cover off to ride, there'd be remenents of a squirrel picnics between the cylinder heads and the air box. :brk:
