I travel for work quite a bit and my bike is always a mess when I return so I invested in a bike shelter. So far I really like it. My only complaint is it MUST be anchored down. The website makes it sound like it's an option, but it won't stay up without anchors. It came with anchors but no instructions on what to do with them so I just figured it out. I messed up one of them but 5 out of 6 anchors should hold it.

I was using a bike cover but it's so dusty and my paint was really getting scratched up. I'll let you know how the new shelter works out.

BTW, I was going to buy a different shelter that came with a permanent base but they never returned my calls. This one also had free shipping thanks to Wingstuff!

:idea:
Bobby, get yourself four 5 gallon plastic Buckets at Home depot and fill them with sand or water and place one at each corner. That shelter will not be going any where. Just my 2 cents.

There's no floor on this one. It's anchored into the asphalt with anchor bolts.

Bobby, when I interviewed all of the Cycle Covers, the Cycle Shed was my choice. It was a little more expensive than the others but it does come with a floor and it has lasted since the purchase of my F6B. No Anchors required but it does come with the anchors. Its a great shed. Check it out. Its made by Cycle Shed. :041:

I checked it out. That's the one I wanted to buy, but they couldn't find the time to return my calls and the only way to order from them is by phone. I took my business elsewhere.

Kinda late now anyway isn't it? I already bought and installed this one.

Another complaint. Some asshat at work decided he wanted to "check it out" and bent it where I had it locked. People SUCK! :banghead:

+1 for the Cardinal bag!
I'm a huge fan and have been a season ticket holder for years.
What jacket is is that? I ordered a Red/Black, Tour Master Draft Air 2 this afternoon.

Too bad you can't leave it safely inside your employers building.

That jacket is a Joe Rocket 3/4 I got from Craigslist for $40. :biggthumpup:

My employer's office is really small so that's not an option. It'll be fine if people leave it alone. .batman-smilie.

How about a sheet of plywood and you just anchor to that? We do have a little heft in these babies...

How about you electrify it to a hefty power source, that will get your coworkers attention :icon_cool:

Everything mentioned here is for demonstration purposes only. This was done by a professional driver on a closed course. Don't point the nozzle of a PWC at your genitals, they may get permenantly damaged.......

I have no direct experience but I did have a Yamaha 1200 and the warning label was very specific, went as far as to clearly identify gender specific parts!

However in my younger days I did lots of water skiing and bare footing and I do know first hand how high speed crashes impact your butt, brings a tear to my eye even now. :yikes:
