I needed storage while my house was being remodeled. Great company to work with, price matched to a competitor price! The unit was delivered quickly and pick up just as promised. Definitely will use their services again in the future!

Are you a motorcycle enthusiast? Or maybe you’re just someone who loves the feeling of the open road beneath you. Either way, if you want to protect your prized ride and keep it in top condition, storing it in a mobile storage unit might be the perfect solution for you.

Portable storage units offer a range of benefits specifically tailored to motorcycle storage. For starters, they provide a secure, temperature-controlled environment that shields your bike from the elements and potential theft. Additionally, storing your motorcycle with us frees up valuable space in your garage or driveway. You’ll have plenty of room for your other vehicles.

Whether you’re a casual rider or a die-hard biker, mobile storage offers a convenient solution for maintaining and accessing your motorcycle. No more worrying about finding a safe place for your motorcycle winter storage. With a mobile storage unit, your bike is just a few minutes away whenever you need it.

So, if you’re serious about protecting your ride, look no further than storing your motorcycle with Mobile Storage Solutions. We can provide peace of mind, affordability, and convenience for motorcycle enthusiasts like you.

Security Features
Theft and vandalism are primary concerns for motorcycle owners. However, our self-storage units are designed with security in mind. Our facilities offer 24/7 surveillance cameras and gated access to ensure the safety of your bike. Furthermore, storing your motorcycle in our secure warehouse eliminates the risk of damage due to weather conditions.

Temperature Control
Our temperature-controlled portable storage units will keep your motorcycle in optimal condition. These units are equipped with temperature and humidity control systems that protect your bike from the harmful effects of temperature extremes.

Essential Tips to Prepare Your Motorcycle for Storage

Preparing your motorcycle for storage is a crucial step in ensuring its performance. Here are some essential tips to help you properly prepare your bike before placing it in storage.

Clean Your Bike
Before storing your motorcycle, it’s essential to give it a thorough cleaning. This includes washing the exterior, cleaning the chain, and removing any accumulated dirt or debris. A buildup of dirt and grime on a bike’s surface can cause corrosion and deterioration of the paint. After a thorough cleaning, let the vehicle dry thoroughly before placing it in storage.

Change the Oil and Filter
Changing the oil and filter is another crucial step in preparing your motorcycle for storage. Old oil can contain contaminants that can lead to engine damage over time. By changing the oil and filter before storage, you ensure that your bike’s engine is protected from these harmful substances.

Fill the Gas Tank and Add Fuel Stabilizer
It’s important to protect the fuel system by filling up the fuel tank before storing your motorcycle. This will prevent moisture accumulation. Moisture can lead to fuel deterioration and potential engine problems. Adding a fuel stabilizer helps to keep the fuel fresh and prevents it from breaking down during storage.

Remove the Battery and Store it Separately
Here at Mobile Storage Solutions, we have power so you don’t have to worry. You can keep your battery charged and ready for anything. If you’re storing your bike in a location that doesn’t have power, it’s recommended to remove it from your motorcycle and store it separately in a cool, dry place. This helps to extend the battery’s lifespan and ensures that your bike will be ready to go when you retrieve it from storage.

Protect Your Tires
Keeping your bike in storage for the long term puts the tires under a lot of stress. Consequently, this extra weight will cause low-pressure areas to develop in your tires. This could ultimately lead to a blowout. Taking your bike’s tires off and storing them on their sides is your best bet. Another solution would be to place your motorcycle on a lift so that the tires aren’t touching the ground.

Protect Your Motorcycle with a Cover
Consider using a breathable motorcycle cover to protect your bike from dust, dirt, and other potential hazards. A cover helps to prevent scratches and keeps your motorcycle looking its best while in storage.

In addition to protecting the paint and body, a motorcycle cover helps to reduce moisture buildup, which may lead to corrosion and rust.

Place plastic bags on motorcycle exhaust plugs to keep insects and rodents from entering your air filters and tailpipes. Also, it’s important to remember not to leave any electrical outlets that could get wet out in the open.

Conclusion

Keeping your motorcycle at home isn’t always the best option. Not everyone has an available garage, driveway, or yard. A self-storage facility can be your best alternative if you don’t have sufficient room to store your bike. Mobile Storage Solutions’ flexible leasing options make secure motorcycle storage possible at any time of the year.

With cold weather arriving soon, give us a call so that we can help plan the best winter motorcycle storage.
