Where Does Your Bike Sleep at Night?

I am looking for alternative motorcycle shelters as I do not have a garage. Where do you park your bike at night?

Behind my pickup in the driveway, now with a donated cover the neighbor gave me. One car garage which my wife claims. When it got really icy last winter we moved into the backyard and got under the deck with a tarp. Watch for the places rain collects, be aware of sun on the seat (and full tank). My neighborhood is pretty safe working class area. Wife tells me that people somethimes walk up for a closer look. Don't think I could keep a HD like this.

In my Garage, but I also have the Triumph all weather cover for when I am away from home. Perhaps you could get a shed? Some people I know store their bikes in outside sheds and if it had a floor it works fine.

That's a cool product for people who lack the garage space to park a bike. Not necessarily great for people in crowded cities or areas where theft is an issue. Still, nice concept. Perfect for the burbs.

Just kidding.
Outdoor parking is rough on a bike even with a cover. It depends on what you can get away with where you live.
A plastic side shed is really nice but most places won't allow you to place a structure like that on the property. Here's an article that I agree with. I like the CycleShell the most.

Speedy doesn`t sleep at night. It goes out hunting. It stalks other motorcycles, attacking without warning, smashing them to pieces. Sometimes, in the morning, I`ll find a the odd small piece of broken plastic on the garage floor, with some partial lettering on... 'Hond' or 'amaha' or sometimes even 'Kawasa'. Sometimes, I find traces of oil or paint, embedded in it`s tyres, evidence of the previous night`s crazed massacre.
Small children tremble in their beds as they hear the evil triple rumbling through the night.
