Anyone used a "Bike Barn"?

[ormsky]

Has anyone got one of these [url]http://thebikebarn.net/tourermodel.ht[/url] ??

Get my new Tiger in two weeks (first brand new vehicle I've ever bought!).
It'll be my daily transport, and I know I'll get p*****d off using an ordinary bike cover every day.

Bike barn looks easy to use, appreciate if anyones got any feedback on them!

I can't comment on the Bike Barn, but I do have a similar sort of thing for a car. It has kept the car nice but suffered a bit in the high winds we had a couple of months ago. Also won't do much for security. Without knowing your budget or what room/hardstanding you have, I would be tempted to look at one of these: BikeSafe or one of these: Motorcycle Garage. Both are well under £1000 (prices are on the websites).
These give good security but cost a lot more money: Secure-a-Bike
TBH, I would want better security for a brand new bike than the Bike Barn would give.

Can´t comment on the barn either, but damned good choice on the metal, do feel free to pop over to the Tiger List



Da mod...

Ditto on the bike choice - hopefully mine will be ready this weekend

What colour did you go for?

Really well constructed and Thatcham 1 approved

Thanks for the reply, I agree I need something more secure! I'll sort something out.

Gone for a silver one, but it's the last of the 955i Tigers - couldn't stretch to a 1050 Tiger, and at 6000 quid for a brand new 955i with panniers and all the extras it seemed a damn good deal.
