6 Ways Self Storage Benefits Motorcycle Owners

Seeking shelter for your motorcycle during the off-season or between rides? StorQuest has the answers you need in our latest storage guide for motorcycles of all sizes.

Selecting the Perfect Motorcycle Storage Solution

From apartments to overflowing garages, finding space for an extra vehicle can be challenging. Conventional options like storage sheds come with their own set of challenges, such as a lack of security or protection from rodents, which can wreak havoc on your bike's electrical systems. Moreover, a home-based storage solution may fail to provide the security to safeguard high-value items like motorcycles, ATVs, and jet skis. Opting for a secure storage facility offers passionate riders peace of mind, leaving the adrenaline moments for the road.

Benefits of Off-Site Motorcycle Storage

If you are a motorcycle owner, you already know how much care and attention your bike demands. Storing your bike in a self storage unit offers several perks and benefits, including easy online reservations and bill pay, on-site storage teams, and 24-hour security cameras. The bottom line is that protecting your bike from threats like harsh weather conditions and potential theft or vandalism is the number one goal.

Let's take a closer look at some of the features and benefits of off-site storage:

State-Of-The-Art Security: Home security installations can be complex and costly. Self storage facilities can offer a wide selection of security features including: individually alarmed units, an on-site storage teams, 24-hour video surveillance, secure keypad-gated access, perimeter fencing, well-lit indoor and outdoor spaces, motion-activated lights and sensors, and online portals or mobile apps that allow you to get help whenever you need it and manage your account online.

Convenient Drive-Up Access: One of the most convenient features for motorcycle owners is drive-up access storage units. These units allow you to effortlessly drive your bike directly into a secure unit, just like an extra garage, without the hassle of loading and unloading from a truck or trailer.

Outdoor Covered Motorcycle Storage: Outdoor covered parking spaces can be the ideal solution to shield motorcycles from rain and sun if you live in a state that enjoys a Mediterranean climate. However, an open-sided design may be less effective than enclosed units in severe winter conditions. Either way, plan to cover your bike for outdoor storage.

Choosing the Right-Sized Unit: To choose the right storage unit for your motorcycle, consider the size of your bike. Always measure your motorcycle and any additional equipment to ensure a proper fit in the storage unit.

  • Standard motorcycles typically range in size from around 5 to 7 feet in length and 2 to 3 feet in width and can fit in smaller units like a 5x10.
  • Touring motorcycles, which are larger and often equipped with additional storage compartments, can measure up to 8 feet in length and 3 to 4 feet in width and may require larger units like a 10x10 or 10x15.
